Mid-Cycle Scan

So here we are midpoint again. I was scheduled for my scan this morning at 11:40. Today is CD 14.

I got there about 20 mins before my appointment and I was lucky enough that the person scheduled before me hadn't arrived yet, so I got to go straight in. This  was a new doc I went to, and I know he's good cause he also did my mom's Mammogram and breast U/S. The whole thing happened so fast. Being that he isn't my RE or OBGYN, he didn't ask anything about history, CD, any data at all... he already knew from the nurse that it was an ovulation monitoring and he was ready to go. By the time I entered the clinic and the time I got out, not more than 10 minutes past.... it was the fastest scan in recorded history I think!

In spite of the speed, he was very thorough. I don't know much about the position of the uterus or if that changes throughout the cycle, but the 3 scans I had last cycle all say the uterus in a position which would translate into English as Forward flexion, which kinda means tilted towards the front, I think. This is the first scan where the doc said the uterus is in an intermediary position.

The left ovary was smaller is size than last cycle and without any mature follicles. Right ovary had a big follicle 15x14.5mm. I thought that was pretty small considering last cycle my scan was on CD13 and the follicle was already 17.5mm in diameter. But the doc said the size is fine and actually showed me the egg within the follicle, it was easily visible. He said I have about 4 days of a fertile window starting now.

What I found most surprising was the cervix. First ever scan where my cervix is open, that never happened before. It has a opening of 2.1mm, which apparently is really good (big).... so I'm hoping that's a good sign that my body wants a baby too!!!

What worries me is the small endometrium, which was only 6.7mm thick, and that's really tiny. Last cycle on the scan it was already 10.9mm thick. I'm hoping it'll get thicker once I start the progesterone supplement on CD16. In the meantime, we are sticking to the BD schedule, once every other day. I don't even know if I should take an OPK. I'm not taking one today, there's no point. Maybe I'll take one tomorrow, but since we're on a strict BD schedule, it doesn't really influence things at all.

So... here's to a stress-free cycle, and perhaps a positive outcome to it!!!
