Monday I went in for an ultrasound to see how I was responding to my first Clomid treatment (of 100mg for seven days). Monday was CD16 of my cycle. A 15mm follicle was found. Today is Wednesday, CD18 of my cycle. Went in this morning for another ultrasound to see how much it had grown and was scheduled to receive a HCG injection to trigger ovulation. The follicle is GONE! The nurse practicioner said one of two things could have happened: 1) I ovulated, although it would have been early as the follicle 2 days ago was not fully mature or 2.) The follicle stopped growing and was absorbed back into the ovary.
Immediately after my appointment I went to the lab to get a blood test for progesterone and estradiol levels to confirm whether or not I ovulated. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out and the anticipation is too much. I know deep down in my gut I didn't ovulate and was a false alarm. This is so heartbreaking as the last couple of days we were so excited.
I feel like crying just thinking about that follicle being a potential egg that no longer exists.
What happened to my follicle?!
