I didn't get follicle tracking on clomid. All I know is that I had low progesterone on my 3rd and 4th round of Clomid (all four rounds were 50mg... got a temp shift and positive OPK and started a period on my own - things that were not happening before the Clomid so it seems like I was ovulating).
My levels on 3rd round of Clomid were 6.5 (US levels want a 10 for natural cycle and 15 for medically stimulated cycle.. though a 5 or above does seem to indicate ovulation). My levels on my 4th round were 8.8
Now I'm on a break from the clomid for a couple of months. I finally got the ultrasound 2 days ago (CD13) and now, at CD15, I got a positive OPK. I just heard back that all the ultrasound showed was 2 follicles... 1.5 and 1.7cm ... they're supposed to be an 18!
My doctor thinks this is just a rebound from being off the clomid... but I can't find any data to support that. And then with my low progesterone on the clomid it seems like I might have had smaller follicles with Clomid than I should have.
I feel like I have wasted all these months, that I never had a chance and that I've been going through this hell for no reason.
Can anyone explain to me why my follicles are so small on the first cycle after a few rounds of clomid? why would I get the positive OPK but have no good follicles to release?
Very devastated here....

... 1.5cm and 1.7cm equal 15mm and 17mm... very close to normal for ovulation..
This stuff is confusing as all get out isn't it!!!!! I swear sometimes the Drs ramble so much information off that I can't get track of it all. Glad to hear that your follies were normal sized, and best of luck during your break.
