OUCH!!!

I got back from my doctor appointment a little while ago. I had THE most PAINFUL ultrasound I have ever had! The nurse said it was because there are so many follicles in my ovaries right now. She said she wasn't surprised that it was hurting and asked me if I had been having pains in my ovaries even before I came in. I had been having pains and wondering what they were. Now, I know! Anyway, none of the follicles were mature enough for "harvesting", so I have to go back in on Friday for another ultrasound. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The clomid worked so well this last cycle that I really thought it would work even better this cycle. It's not that it's not working, it is just taking more time. The nurse said it's normal for some people to have to come back 2-3 times before the follicle(s) is/are fully mature. So, I will update on Friday when we will find out if my follicles have matured. (It is so weird saying stuff like this. ;) )
