I had my ultra sound appointment today for AFC. I didn't schedule SIS because I didn't get a full flow of period. The appointment went so quickly. Driving and parking at the hospital was more work.
Transvaginal wand was kind of uncomfortable. There was a screen on the wall so I could see what the technician was doing on the monitor. She was clicking away really fast, but I noticed she clicked "fibroids" and "endmetriosis." She then clicked away "folicle" After she was done, she printed out the report to take to the front desk. I glanced at the report and it said 13 folicles for one side of the ovary and 9 for the other. That is 22! I wonder if doing a regular ultra sound makes a difference, but seriously? The old doctor's office counted 5 and told me I didn't have much time left. When Tim told her to recount AFC since all the other numbers looked right and that AFC made no sense, the old doctor looked offended and said her technician with over 20 years experience wouldn't miscount.
Anyway, I feel relieved. I was so worried that they won't see anything and I thought I will be told I was going through an early menopause!!!
I have a hysteroscopy scheduled for next Monday so my new doctor can take a look at what is going on in my baby room. I was told to take 800mg Ibuprofen but I want something to knock me out. I don't trust "you will have a discomfort."
Wow what a difference! That's why they always say get a second opinion! I am so happy to see your AFC was much, much, MUCH higher than your old RE. Yikes! I can't believe your old RE caused you all this unnecessary stress!
ReplyDeleteI'm a "baby" when it comes to pain so I don't blame you for wanting something stronger than 800 mg of ibuprofen :)
I know!! I know what I saw! It said 13 and 9. I hope that means 22.. Well, I will see what my doctor say on Monday when he goes over the ultra sound report with me.
DeleteI really am glad I am done with the old practice. It makes me so mad and I even wonder if our baby really was dead. I don't even want to think about it, but it makes me wonder.
Oh don't think about it sweetie. I can't believe the huge differences inthe diagnoses between the two clinics. Even I'm shocked. Seriously, it makes me wonder about a malpractice claim against the old clinic and I wouldn't be surprised if they've been hit with a few. Let's just be happy you are somewhere more knowledgeable and professional now and we're close to getting you your baby!
