Not Growing an Egg…

Ten days ago I had an ultrasound and blood taken at the new fertility clinic I am with. Monday morning was when I had all of the other blood work at a lab near me.

Monday night, my new doctor called me to tell me that he received the results of my ultrasound and hormones. First of all, the fact that he would just call me to update me is amazing. I had to wait weeks to get an appointment with my old clinic but he called me to update me. This meant so much.

So what did he have to say? Well…everything is normal, he has no explanation to why I am not ovulating and has no idea why I am not growing an egg.

I told my mum this and her response was “that is great!”. Um, no. This is not great. Not great at all. If there is no reason I am not growing an egg…then why am I not?!

Does it all come back to my stress and cortisol and hypothalamus not functioning properly? It must?

We are waiting to see what ALL of the tests come back saying and then we will make a plan. I am just so frustrated.

My right ovary has 8-9 follicles and one at 10mm. My left ovary has 5 small follicles. None growing. Hormones all look normal. Yes, this is good as back in September they were low…but it is not great because I should be growing an egg.

I assume this means I will need to do the injections, but we will see what my Dr. says. I am not sure what other choice there is? I am trying to destress…I am going for my second round of acupuncture this Friday and really working at NOT working on at least one day on the weekend – having a day completely off.

I just have to trust that my Dr. will come up with a plan that will get things going, I’m just so frustrated that my body is not working on its own.
