There's Nothing

I went in for my first day 11 ultrasound this morning and the first thing my RE did was check my lining.  It was very thin (despite taking estrace twice a day for the past few days), but it did have a "triple lining" which is a good sign.  He then took a closer look at my right ovary.  "There's nothing!" he exclaimed.  Then he looked at my left.  "Still nothing!".  Great.  Just my luck.  He pointed out some very very tiny follicles, but there was nothing to measure.  The ultrasounds was done in less than two minutes.

I was expecting to have small follicles, because I know I don't get "full" and ovulate until day 22, but I wasn't expecting "nothing".  He wasn't either.  He immediately said that I should stop my estrace today and begin to take another round of clomid for the next five days, then resume the estrace.  I'll have another ultrasound next Tuesday, the 27th, on day 19.  Apparently, it's better to take more clomid in this cycle than waiting until the next one (I asked).  But I'm worried about being overstimulated.  And annoyed that I must spend even more money.

250mg/clomid a day for five days.  The most I've ever taken is 150mg/day, so this seems like a lot to me.  Plus the fact that I took 150mg for five days last week, so it will be doubling up.  Yikes.  Let's hope I get some nice large follicles, but not too many.

The only upside is that we can relax during our Thanksgiving vacation and don't need to meticulously plan alone time together.  At least there's that.
