Coffee & Follicles: Day 1 Of My Ovary Monitoring

Today is the first day of the rest of my follicles lives.

This afternoon is my appointment to go get my follicles checked, or monitored!

I'm new to the whole follicle terminology enchilada, so forgive me if I don't get the terminology correctly worded.

Wouldn't you know it that my 10 year old would come down with a virus on this day. I carefully planned my doctors appointments for today around his school and after school events.  I don't feel great about any of my options for keeping him during the appointments as of this very minute. My husband is trying to come home early, but that's not ever guaranteed, leaving him at home is just not possible, I would be a nervous wreck. Taking him to the appointment would mean he would have to sit in the lobby, and if he gets sick, well, bad idea.  Right now the best option I have is to bring him and let him wait in the car, but even that idea makes me break out into hives. Not only does the thought of him being out in the open, an easy target for a kidnapper, but the radio is no place for a little boy. On his car ride to and from school, less then a mile away, I have to change the radio at least once each way to protect his innocent little ears.

Its hard to get excited about the appointment while my son is sick.  I know I cannot miss this appointment, it would be at least another month before I could be seen again, so I just have to figure out which option is best for him. Hopefully my husband can swing a half day off work. I just hope he wont have to sell his soul for a deal to get out of the office a few hours early.

So with my ice coffee digested I will begin research on all the things I need to know about todays appointments.  I have a feeling that the sonogram tech will fly through the sonogram and be vague as to what I am looking at, so I am preparing myself to take a lot of frantic notes, and do a little crash course in what I should ask.

They called earlier to let me know that I may not see the doctor today due to several surgeries that she is having to be called into, so I will most likely be meeting with the PA.  I really like the PA so I have no problems with it, but no treatment plan will be firmed up today with out the doctor to sign off on it.

With any luck, real luck, I will have signs of ovulation happening in the next few days, today is CD10, but I need to be prepared for the likely response of nothing is really happening in there and a few measures will be needed to be taken.  I am fine with it, before she tells me, but after she tells me, well, I might cry, because that makes it all real.

I will probably update this afternoon after I get out of the appointments, but I don't want to commit depending on the news.

This morning I took my daily OPT and my LH was still surging, but still not in the positive range of ovulation.  Its still an anomaly to me, since I normally don't ovulate until CD23/24.  I hope a few things get cleared up today and that possibly my doctor is worrying over nothing. Maybe my cycle fixed itself? Yah, right, I will go buy a lottery ticket if that's the case.
