UPDATED - A step back...
Update - they called and said my estrogen is low, so at least I can do femara this cycle. Not a total bust. Thanks guys.
Went for CD3 monitoring and Dr. B says there is a fluid filled sack on both ovaries, leftover from the follistim, like 4cm (I think?) each. So he cannot have me do the follistim again this cycle.
I am so sad about this!
He says if my estrogen is low I can do femara and just do a regular IUI and honestly might as well, the follistim only made me have 2 eggs which I have had on the femara anyway. And the follistim gave me crazy bloat and O pains for a week.
On a better note I finally had a full fertility panel done! So like a million viles of blood, I really am curious what comes up. So far I found out I have Hashimotos disease and am low in Vitamin D, so curious what else could be lurking.
And on a very positive note, has anyone noticed the bathroom mirror at Dr. B's is a skinny mirror?! I want to rip it off the wall and take it home with me.
Can I please have prayers my estrogen is low enough to take femara and also if any one has any advice about this I would already appreciate, I just don't get what goes on up there, like what could it be?

Re: A step back...
Thanks girls! It is my goal in life to find skinny mirrors, I like to pretend they are the way you truly look and the rest are cheap fake mirrors that tell lies. Please check it out, it made me smile and a take a bit longer in there, checking myself out!
And yes follistim made me SO bloated, but not AF bloated like distended stomach and the O pains I had for a week made me miserable. I figure if I can make 2 follicles with fermara then it's the same as the follistim.
Just hoping estrogen is below 100 or whatever it should be.

LOL maybe i was being sarcastic. If you saw my post about the doctor's message, you;ll see that my LH level came back rediculously high and we are moving into lab rat stage. ganirelex and menopur (I think this is in addition to the follistim- but this is cuz my corpus leutum disappeared after a week).
