Hey everyone....a little history, I have Graves Disease (hyperthyroid), irregular periods, high FSH, etc. My husband and I were NTNP for 2 years, then actively started trying.
At our appointment last night, we had a few tests.
Hubby - super sperm. 49 million post-wash with 61% motility. The fertility specialist actually used the word "superior" several times, much to my husband's delight. The last 24 hours he has been impossible to live with LOL.
Me - and here are where my questions come in. First, the bad news - my FSH is 58. The good news? It WAS 90 in May. I started taking CoQ10 a few weeks ago, started at 50mg a day and gradually went up to 200mg.
I had 2 collapsed follicles, and several between 14-15mm. My progesterone level was 0.4, so I haven't ovulated yet (I'm on CD51). I go in tomorrow for another scan and more blood work, I guess to see if the follicles have grown.
My lining is 9mm.
So here are my questions - is my lining 9mm because I'm gearing up for ovulation? Is 9mm good? And if my follicles have grown, does that mean they contain eggs? Or could they be "empty" follicles? Are follicles that size (14-15mm) ever empty? I'm new to all this. My first marriage I had 3 kids and the only time I "tried" (before I knew all about this stuff) it only took 4 months. I don't understand what these numbers mean in relation to ovulation. In your opinions, do you think I will be ovulating this cycle based on these numbers, or do these numbers really mean nothing because there could be no egg?
The RE thinks my periods might be irregular not only because of the Graves but that I may have actually conceived several times and miscarried without even knowing it due to a progesterone deficiency. I have progesterone gel, but they told me not to take it yet (I guess because they don't think I've ovulated yet?).
