Ok. So excuse the obscure Simpsons reference, but Ow!
For some bizarre reason, I tend to turn into a try-hard stand up comedian when I visit my Fertility Specialist. I guess I just get nervous and try to make light of the situation by making witty comments. Such was the case today.
I had my CD10 ultrasound today. My specialist is such a lovely guy and always puts me at ease, even when I'm baring all on the table! He tends to ignore my nervous attempts at jokes - such was the case today.
After giving me my blood test results (336), I jump up on the table, ready to do an invasive ultrasound - the kind with the magic wand - and immediately notice my unshaven legs. Ali! Really?!
"Opps sorry for the legs! I mean I really should have shaved for you"
Dr: "It's ok, it doesn't bother me." - oh great. So he noticed.
"Right.... here is your right ovary... a few small follicles... nothing of note here... and now for the left ovary..."
Prod, prod, poke, poke....
"Hmmm... Umm...."
Oh come on Doc! Give me the news! I can take it!
"I can't seem to find your left ovary..."
Me: "I swear I have one! I've got pictures to prove it!"
Dr: "uh huh..."
Prod, push down on stomach area where ovary should be, poke, prod....
Dr: "oh there it is... way up there..."
Thankful that he found it, we discovered I had 1 significant egg measuring 13mm in diameter! Hurray! Yay! I have an egg ready to ovulate!
Me: "So when do you think I'll ovulate?"
Dr: "Oh I'd say it would be about 4 days time given the size of the follicle"
Drats. Nick just left today for a 5 day trip...
Praying and hoping that this little egg is running behind schedule!
My little egg...
PRaying with you that this eggie takes it's time and runs behind!! Hope you guys catch it this month, gal! Praying hard!
