Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I know what you mean, Marcy. It can be confusing. ) In a nutshell, I'm taking Clomid which helps to induce ovulation. A cyst (or many cysts) will form. My OB's office monitors the cysts via ultrasound to watch their growth and to make sure that my ovaries aren't hyper stimulated. When the cyst reaches a certain size (13 or so cm) they are considered " potential " follicles. If they are true follicles, they will continue to grow. The follicle will then rupture and release the egg. The body has a surge of LH (leutinizing hormone) usually 1 or 2 days prior to ovulation. So, the OTC ovulation tests are used to get an idea of when ovulation will occur. Not very romantic...but, we are grateful we have access to this technology. ) Thanks for the prayers, Marcy! I'll email you next week. ) in CA _____ Jordan's WAHMommy michelle@... Re: 's TTC update... Shoot I sent my last message before I got this one.
