I strive for perfection

Not really, but it was exactly what I said today when our second follicle check revealed one of my follicles had grown to 18 mm – the exact measurement my doctor wanted to see before she prescribed the HCG trigger. The other follicle had grown to only about 14 mm and I have many tiny follicles on my right side. She said that’s a great sign showing lots of potential for our next clomid cycle. (Crossing my fingers there won’t be a next clomid cycle!)

I was pleased and DH was actually excited! Now I’m dreading this shot. I have to put it in my thigh muscle. How in the world am I going to do that? Dh said he won’t do it for me – big baby. HAH!!

My endometrium (uterine lining) was 9 mm today. From what I’ve read this is good for implantation of a fertilized egg. Ideal is 6 mm or more, I believe.

I’ve been checking my CF (cervical fluid) and CP (cervical position) to help in determining O. I’m still very new at this, so I, honestly, take it with a grain of salt. Last night I observed a very soft and open cervix. I’ve never felt that before and it really freaked me out. For all I know this could be “partially open” and an actual “open” cervix will freak me out even more. I immediately laid down in bed with dh with one thing on my mind. After 5 minutes of lying there he got up and started to play his Xbox 360. Grrrrrrrrr, boy was I perturb. Oh well, he’s all mine these next few days!!
