Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Muah! I love everyone who comes to visit me. I can't begin to explain how much all you mean to me. I have not only learned so much from everyone but I have received an incredible amount of understanding and compassion (which is more than I can say for my OWN family!) So, thank you for making this a place a place where I can come to for support and much, much more.
Okay, now onto to today's rant - I'm feeling A LOT more aches around my ovaries now. Those poor things have been stimulated like never before. Actually, I don't believe I've ever had a single follicle ove 10mm in the past. When I was on Clomid, my Gyn. never checked my follies, only checked my hormones, which were right on according to him. So I never really knew how big they got, only that my hormones were saying things looked "okay." But what do hormones really tell us anyway? My family physician once told me that sometimes doctors don't know you have a problem because your tests come back borderline so they assume you are okay, but really you're not.
Every time I had a test done, the results would come back "normal." But if I'm so "normal", how come I don't have regular periods? Huh? What's so normal about that? Something must be out of sync. My only regret is that I wasted more than a year on seeing my Gyno. I wish I had moved on to a R.E. MUCH SOONER. I just kept thinking that the Gyno. was going to find my problem any day and help me correct it. But after a year, when his lack of concern started becoming more and more apparent, I suddenly realized I needed to move on. I mean the man put me on Clomid for 9 months and never gave me an ultrasound to check my follies! Most doctors only recommend Clomid for 6 months and they check the follies. My RE now is not much more better in the concern dept. but at least she's willing to monitor me and give me actual data, like size of my follies and my E2 level.
But back to my point, I don't think my follies ever grew bigger than 10mm. So, this time, they got shocked and are now retaliating. I'm feeling punches left and right, people. Does anyone know how long this pain will last? I hope it will subside within a week.

For me, clomid was the worse with sharp pains for a week and I still felt ruined for a good month after that. With the injectables, I didn't have too many lingering effects. Take it easy, rest well.
I hope you are well soon.
Take care.
Glad things are looking so good right now, hon! My bloodwork always supposedly came back 'normal' too when I was going through all my bleeding episodes. It's amazing how finding the right dr can make all the difference, isn't it?!
Katie, things are sounding good! I'm so happy for you. You know, my bloodwork always came back normal too, and it always seemed to be "normal-est" when my body was at its whackiest. I am a big fan of u/s monitoring, along with blood. Oh, and I remember feeling "sore" for about a week or so after meds. Wishing you the best.
I'm hoping this is it for you Katie!
Hey you have the same name as me!Lucky girl. Anyhow to my comment,I remember thinking the same thing about our gyno, about how much of our time he wasted with hormone checks etc. I was lucky in the regard that they found (eventually) what was going on inside but I still had waaaay to much blood work done before hand. We rode the clomid pony for awhile, didn't have hardly any of the bad side effects that other people were telling me about. Good luck .
