I had my ultrasound today. The technician said I am definitely polycystic (meaning I have PCOS). My ovaries had so many cysts that she couldn't count them all. But the way she made it sound, that was a good thing. Fertile women have lots of cysts, menopausal women have none. She also noticed a fibroid near the top of my uterus, but nothing to worry about right now. Other than that, my uterus and ovaries looked fine. So I'm doing 100mg of Clomid this cycle starting today and going for 7 days (rather than the usual 5 days). I go back for another ultrasound on April 9 (CD 13) to see how I'm responding to the Clomid. I'm also doing a Z-pac to clear up any possible infections that could potentially screw up getting pregnant (David gets to take a Z-pac, too, so he can finally get in on this fun that I'm having). I'm also going to start taking baby aspirin which can help reduce miscarriages and aid in fertility as well. I can't believe the amount of medication I'm taking. Today alone I will have taken a prenatal vitamin in the morning, 3 metformin tablets with dinner, 2 clomid pills, and 1 baby aspirin...that's 7 pills!!!! Anyway, it's all worth it. Guess it's time for my moodiness and hot flashes.
