What a weird cycle so far. I got my period for only three days this month - normally it's five. Then I got my 3 day ultrasound to look at my ovaries, which was actually very cool! I could see the follicles in their various sizes and stages (the left photo is not mine, but gives you an idea). I had 16 in the left and 10 in the right, so good numbers.
Then last week I got an HSG - I was so nervous! I'm getting used to the sterile atmosphere of a hospital clinic - the room was cavernous, cold and daunting. The HSG was a bit uncomfortable, but it was short-lived and I got to see the dye running through my tubes out into my body. Turns out I have one curly Q tube, but the doc said that was normal. The dye went all the way through both tubes, so we're all clear!
I figured I'd have an early cycle, so I've been monitoring everything for a several days now. I had FM on day 8 or 10 (can't remember at the moment) which threw me off, but I kept tracking anyway. Temps have been stable in mid-range since the beginning of the cycle. My cervix is looking low and not quite open. We almost inseminated last night but decided against it - my OPK line was not quite dark enough yesterday, and I didn't have signs of FM. Until this morning. The FM looked textbook so I showered for work then we went to check my cervix again. Low, not as open, and suddenly the FM was gone. Nothing. So we closed up shop and got ready for work. Of course an hour into sitting here I started feeling my left side pinching - the usual sign that my egg is working on releasing.
*sigh* Did we miss it? Maybe. I'm so frustrated.
