Baseline U/S Tommorow! Excited & Nervous! ? RE AF?  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hello Ladies! Well I go in for my Baseline u/s tommorow at 2:30 CA time. I am so excited and nervous! When I called to make the appt. the woman I spoke with said to be prepared because it is vaginal, which I already knew. I then asked her what might happen after the u/s and she said that the doc, in most cases depending on the u/s results, would probably start me on Clomid and Gonal-F. Anyone familiar with that? Isn't Gonal-F kinda risky for multiples? But I guess the course of treatment all depends on what they find in the u/s right? They did all of the baseline blood work on me and they told me that 'most of it came back within normal range'. I guess I'm just so nervous about the unknown, I know I won't be able to sleep tonight It will feel good just to get the ball rolling though, YK?

Although, I'm not too keen on the idea of having to spread my legs while dear AF is still present But I guess they see that all the time. Plus I think that she is on her way out already! Normally AF will come and stay quite steadily for about two- three weeks, when she comes at all. But this cycle makes the second in a row that she has come, but only stayed for about 4 days, very unusual for me It just makes me wonder what is going on with my body? If all of the blood tests came back 'normal', than why do I O and have AF only every so often? Do you think that the u/s might shed some light on this? Has anyone else ever gone through this? It's so frustrating! Even my charts are wacky. the last two cycles my temps seemed to be pretty nice and somewhat 'normal' for where I was in the cycle. This cycle, I am on CD 4 today, my temps are all over the place again, like normal. WTH? Anyone else gone through anything like this? I am really hoping that my RE will be able to give me some answers tommorow

Well thank you ladies for listening to me ramble. I've talked about this with DH and as sweet and understanding as he is, I just don't think that he gets it, YK? I'm so glad that I have you all to vent to, Thank You!! I'll let you know how my appt. goes tommorow

All of my bloodwork came back "normal", but I definitely have pcos. But normal on their charts and what is normal for your body don't always line up. The u/s won't be a big deal at all; it is dark in the u/s room. The tech always lets me insert the wand myself, which I prefer. Just make sure your bladder is empty!

Oh wow, that's great that they let you insert the wand yourself! I hope they do the same for me Thank you for the helpful advice on an empty bladder, didn't even think of that! It's interesting to know that your blood work all came back 'normal'. Can you tell me how they came to the conclusion that you have PCOS? It just makes me wonder what my RE conclude if everything comes out looking okay? I guess we'll see. Thank you again! I hardley slept last night, I'll let you know how it goes at the u/s.

Hope your visit went well. What did they decide to do for your cycle?

The first time I had my ultra sound with af. I was like "it's an external ultrasound right?" nurse "No, they are all internal" me "ooops I'll be right back I have to go to the bathroom." But it is a piece of cake, since they do it all the time, so I got over it pretty quickly.

One thing I found out is that my left ovary hides when I have recently eaten or will be (tmi) pooping soon. So just an fyi try to flush your system before your ultrasounds .

Good luck I'm sure it will go fine. I even had a HSG when AF wasn't quite done yet. Neither the nurse or doctor acted like they even noticed. They're probably used to everything. As far as PCOS, they might be able to tell from the ultrasound since you'll have the "string of pearls" on your ovaries. Take care.

Julia'sMom, or they might find "bubble wrap" ovaries for PCOS like mine,

How did it go?
