It's that time again ... time to welcome this month's ICLWer's.
To those of you who follow this blog, Welcome back!
To those of you who have stumbled upon this blog for the first time, here's a quick recap of my story:
Hubby & I got engaged in February of 2006 and started TTC right away. By the time we got married in May 2007, still no luck. At that point I decided I needed to be a bit more proactive and started seeking out help from my gyno & others to see what, if any, problems I was facing. One S/A, an HSG, 1 MRI, 4 doctors & countless u/s's later, I discovered that I was burdened with a rather large fibroid, which was blocking my cervix, effectively keeping me from getting pregnant. In November of '08, I had the sucker removed and was elated to learn that I was KU in April of '09. However, my glee was shortlived - I found out I had miscarried. I was six weeks along.
It took me a little bit but I realized that, for me, it wasn't doing any good to be sad. I had to trust in God and know that my steps are ordered by Him and that He would never give me anything that I can't handle.
Now I'm back to TTC. I just finished my first cycle of Clomid and I'll be going in tomorrow for my first 14-day folly scan.
I'm interested in knowing if any of you have gone through the follicle scan process and what exactly it entails. I also have some questions you might be able to answer for me:
What if you have already ovulated? How does that affect the scan?
Can the doc tell if that's happened?
Does that mean this cycle is a wash or can you still be pregnant if you've been active?
Any answers or insights you have are welcome.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy ICLW!!

Hey chica,
I'm hoping I can answer your questions from my own experience.
What happens during a follicle scan if you've already ovulated? - I had a follicle scan the day after I ovulated (when we conceived Nugget). The scan showed that I hadn't produced any follicles, therefore my IUI was cancelled. I knew I'd ovulated because I'd gotten a positive OPK the day before my follicle scan. Plus I had symptoms of ovulation. It turns out that I'd already released the follicles.
How does it affect the scan? - If you've already released the follicles, you won't see anything. And if you've conceived, there is not harm in getting the internal scan. My first scan at 8 weeks was with the "dildo cam".
Can the doc tell if that's happened? - My doc was stumped and surprised to learn that I'd already ovulated. :-\
Does that mean this cycle is a wash or can you still get knocked up if you've been BD? - Heck yes! I'm proof.
What are your next steps? Are you moving to IUI?
Happy ICLW! Once again *sigh* I have no advice for you. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow!
