On to Round 3...Or Just Wait??

Well gang, I went to the doctor today and there was no follicle growth.  They were the same size as they were on Wednesday and with it being day 15 of my cycle, it doesn't look good that I will ovulate this cycle.  I just don't understand what's going on.  I have never had an issue with my cycle...absolutely nothing and they come like clockwork..every month on time!  When I went for my initial visit, the doctor thought I showed signs of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which is where you have cysts on your ovaries.  However, my blood work showed that everything was normal.  I am just a ball of questions and it seems that Fridays are the days that doctors don't work so I have to wait until Monday to find out what the plan is.  My nurse today said that they will probably put me on a drug to bring on the next cycle and move on to the next round.  I just don't know what to do.  Do I go on and try another round? Do I stop everything and just revisit fertility treatments after I have lost weight?  Do we go back to Clomid and try a higher dosage?  What I know for sure is that I don't want to waste my time.   I do believe that if we increase the dosage of Clomid then I have to have ultrasounds to monitor my follicle growth so that we don't have over stimulation of my ovaries.  I called my OB/GYN today and she's even off on Fridays but I want to know her opinion about increasing the Clomid dosage and my weight.  At least my OB/GYN is willing to do some fertility procedures and insurance covers it. She has always told me not to worry about my weight and getting pregnant and the fertility doctor says my weight is the only thing holding me back.  The bottom line is that I need to lose weight and wait until Monday for some answers.  I guess the key word(s) here are wait/weight :) So this time my friends Baby Butler is not meant to make a showing.  So I guess God's answer today is not right now.  Sometimes I feel like I am being punished for something and if I could just figure out what lesson I need to learn maybe all this will go away.  But this all could be a blessing in disguise.  Whatever it is, I just have to surrender once again to His plan and keep the faith.  So we are on a rest stop in our journey and we all need rest sometimes...

    Trust me when I say, "I feel your pain!!!" Have faith, my friend. My heart tells me that God will answer your call.

    Have you talked to your doc about injection fert meds? Maybe your body just needs a different type of medication???

    Still praying for you and Stephan!
