Cycle Day 25 - No ovulation as yet

Today is CD25 and as yet, as the title says… no ovulation.

I had my pelvic scan on friday. They did the usual ultrasound through my tummy, then they did a transvaginal ultrasound which hurt quite a bit – I assume because my uterus  is retroverted.

She said I had polycystic ovaries… and I told her I already knew that – do people ever read notes anymore? I was diagnosed with PCOS 5 years ago FFS.

Anyway, she also said I have either small fibroids or adenomyosis, which is – I quote, a “condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium (the thick, muscular layer of the uterus)”. It’s not endometriosis – although it sounds the same, apparently it’s a different thing altogether. She couldn’t say if it was that or fibroids because she said they both present as abnormal lining texture on the ultrasound. Now I’ve researched a bit, I’ve read both can cause miscarriage so that might be the diagnosis I was ‘looking ‘ for. I’ll have to wait to see the Fertility Specialist to see what she plans to do.

I also asked if she could see what was happening with ovulation because I was on cycle day 23 and there had been nothing happening to suggest I had or was going to ovulate. She said there is a dominant follicle, but having pcos it might not mature. Hmph.

I also got my bloods done, and they tested everything…. so I’ll see what happens there.

In other news, my temps are still low, and I have bits of egg white cervical mucus, but it’s scant and there’s also alot of creamy with it. It’s not how it’s supposed to be I don’t think. On top of that we haven’t had sex in a week, so… not great.
