So after all the fighting with the clinic for the S/A (which I have yet to receive results of), I decided to try a new clinic-- the one other one in town. They got me in right away for U/S and bloodwork, since today is CD2.

The nurse who did the U/S told me (prior to it) that she would be able to tell me right away what she saw. After the U/S, I asked her if she was able to see anything abnormal. She seemed very hesitant to say anything. Finally, she said, "I'm surprised at the low number of follicles for someone as young as you." She then went on to explain that the bloodwork, along with the pictures, will be more accurate, but again repeated that she was surprised at the lack of antral follicles she saw.

Can someone please explain to me what this means? I am trying to read up and get an idea, but I'm not quite sure what it means. I have had regular cycles since my first period (I think I have missed one month my entire life!), according to my CBFM, OPK's, and CM I ovulate each month. So what does it mean to have low follicles? I know that if FSH is high it is harder to conceive, and I am guessing, from the way she was talking, that mine will probably be high.

She also mentioned Clomid and IVF...
I see the doctor on July 7th to discuss the next step.

If anyone understands anything about follicles, I'd love your help!

Sorry this is so long...
