OK, fine, not really clones, per se...
After taking progesterone near the end of my last three cycles, something seems to be happening. Last cycle we weren't actually gonna be around to schedule an ultrasound to check for follicle development (and the prior 2 psuedocycles didn't really give me a reason to think that I'd need to.) Things look to be "normal" so far so I made an appointment to do the ultrasound on Monday (cycle day 16).
If there are follicles that look ready to pop or if it appears one already has, I go to the lab a week later and have blood drawn to check my progesterone level. If no follicles are preparing, we go back to the doctor and see what paths are available. I'm hoping to avoid Clomid if at all possible. The emotional side effects can be horrid and I'm really not interested in quintuplets. Maybe we can look into finding someone with a really mellow baby, and cloning it! :)
Thankfully, this time the ultrasound is primarily gonna be the wand so I don't have to drink 10 gallons of water ahead of time and make my kidneys threaten to leave me in a bathtub full of ice and take off to Tahiti.
