Follicle Monitoring Question - Another one at bottom of page - Page 2

Well, I went in on Friday for final scan and he was so non commital... He said he thought he could see the corpus luteum measuring 14.2 x 11mm. He said there was a good blood flow to it whatever it is, but as I say was incredibly non commital about it all... grrr.. Guess I'll find out at the weekend when I test if he was right or not!

Well good luck hun, whatever happens

Sounds a bit odd though that he cant tell wether its a corpus luteum or not, I would have thought it is that or a cyst but then the cyst would have been spotted on other scans at the start of tracking soooo dunno. I have a cyst that is there all the time and some of the nurses doing a scan think its a follicle until i point it out to them. Cysts 9 times out of 10 are nothing to worry about though. Doesn't sound like he thinks its a cyst or I am sure he would have told you, but to not know wether its a corpus luteum or not sounds a bit odd.

Good luck hun

Yeah tell me about it... he was so non commital I thought that perhaps he was an intruder and not a Dr at all!! Sometimes my imagination runs away with me

The follicle they were monitoring wasn't there anymore, and he didn't mention anything about a cyst although I do have PCO. To top it all off I got cramp whilst I had my legs in the stirrups and the u/s instrument inside... So painful! And he didn't stop!!! He just carried on. will let you know what the hpt say on Sunday!

Thanks for all your advice

we don't trigger our patients until they are between 17 and 19mm... you've got a few days to go. are they monitoring your hormones as well? if so, what are they at?

Thanks punch... this was a natural cycle. Turns out not a successful one

2 weeks before I can get in to see my FS... Started spotting at 7dpo even though the endometrium measured 13.2mm at the last scan... Plus I was on cyclogest... Still didn't make any difference. :BFN: today... back to the drawing board...
