Camera shy ovary?

Bloods came back with baseline levels so we still have time to grow this follicle :). I've decided I'm going to get Scout to do some reflexology on me tonight to stimulate my ovaries ... Random but I figured it may be worth a try. I'm still a little paranoid about missing the surge so I think I'll go buy some sticks to pee on tonight. I don't usually get a good indication from OPKs and gave up on them awhile ago while tracking my cycle but now that we're actively TTC it's probably worth trying again. My saliva test shows the beginnings of ferning so it's getting closer. Starting to get excited :). Just hope that follicle keeps growing at a good pace. Fingers crossed it's 18mm+ by Monday.

I am trying to ignore the fact that this follicle is on the right. Eggs have been know to travel across to the other tube and the fact that my tubes have been recently flushed has got to work in our favour. I'm also convinced (or perhaps in denial) that there has to be another follicle on the left. They've always had trouble finding my left ovary with the higher tech machines so perhaps (in my fantasy land) the basic ultrasound used by my Dr just doesn't have enough resolution to see what's happening on my left. I know ... it's a bit far fetched but it makes me feel better to believe that there's some rouge follicle hiding in there that just might save the day! Anyway I'm off to buy some sticks and tomorrow we go in for more blood tests :)

Also - we're back from our trip so I have some pics to share!
