Cycle 7: Scan #1

Who gets excited about a scan of follicles? Infertiles do, if they're decent. Mine I guess were decent but nothing spectacular except that there were multiple follies. One on the right measuring 12 on CD 10 and three on the left measuring 13, 11, and 9. My nurse said that the big one on the left is probably the dominant one. My estradiol level was 101 which is fine. I am going back in on Friday morning for another scan. I still predict Monday for the IUI and I'm guessing it will be a two-fer (getting it in both sides)... lucky me.
