Baseline Update

Okay, so as  much as I was dreading getting an ultrasound on AF. I have to say that it wasn't that bad of an experience. I don't think I will ever be comfortable with the ultrasound during AF thing! Our appointment today was a bit confusing and surprising all at once! The first thing the Dr usually does is measure the uterine lining. Each time he inserts the probe it always stops at my right ovary. Immediately my husband and I noticed something, but the Dr moved the probe away. Trying to measure the uterine lining, I say trying because there was nothing to measure. I've been shedding the thing for the past couple days, literally. Right ovary is next, and there it was again. At first I thought it was a cyst, when the Dr started measuring this circle on my ovary I asked him, "what are you measuring?" "That's a follicle right there, 13". He moves the probe some more around the right ovary and says, "Oh there's another one, 13."

I have no idea how this is possible! I am only on Cycle Day 3. I normally just have a few small cyst on this cycle day, not follicles measuring at 13. The Dr sent me home on 125iu of Follistim, and I have to return for a scan on Friday. He said that he is hoping these follicles take off the next couple days. I would assume that if they are mature in 3 days and ready for trigger that I will be put on progesterone, since I have no lining at this time. Even though the lining will start growing as soon as I start up the Follistim. I did some research online to see if anyone has had this happen to them, or even what it means to have mature follicles this early. I couldn't find ANYTHING! I can't lie and say that I am not concerned about this, I am terrified. Terrified that I will get to trigger early, then what? Terrified that my lining will not be thick enough for implantation. Terrified of loosing something before I even have a chance to hold him/her♥
