No Luck This Cycle
I had an ultrasound and p-4 done this morning. After 2 rounds of Clomid, the biggest follicle he saw was only 10mm. Basically too small to do anything. My p-4 was inconclusive for ovulation, so I have to go back on Thursday to have my blood drawn again. The next step is either injectables (which aren't covered by insurance) or ovarian drilling. I have mixed feelings about this. The injectables are very expensive and up the risk of twins by 25%. Ovarian drilling is painful, I'll have to go to the hospital and miss work and it doesn't work forever. I've heard it might cause scars on my ovaries and that it will only work on people who are at an ideal body weight. From what I've read online, you can't continue treatments for at least 3 months. Dr. Trolice told Chad and I that even though I got 2 lines on the OPK this morning, it won't do any good to have sex. That, however, isn't stopping Chad from pestering me about it :) I requested some books about infertility from the library today and we are going to start praying about this every night.
