Fat Albert or Alberta?

Had the ever-so-fun follie ultrasound this morning. Glenn and I have been working very hard on house stuff, so I've been keeping my mind off of the whole conceiving process. It's made life so much easier, actually. I've been relaxed and not thinking about if my follies are growing or not growing. Well... it paid off... and I'm not 100% convinced if it is a good thing yet.

If you know anything about healthy follies, you know that pretty much anything over 15mm is considered a good possibility for a baby. Well, I had 3 follies again this cycle... one was a 13, the other a 16. I'll save the best for last.

16 looks promising... it's a good size, a good shape... overall, lookin' good. 13 needs to grow a bit, so we've decided to wait another day to give it some time to grow. Knowing how I respond to Clomid, I wouldn't be surprised if it grew to a 16 by tomorrow and if Mr. 16 grew to an 18.

However.... we have a potential problem. My 3rd follie is a.... brace yourself... 28!! Holy cow. My doctor was literally freaking out. She said things like, "Is this a baby?!" No.... "GOD your ovary must be the size of my fist." NOT something I wanted to hear... then she said to me, "That sucker is going to hurt when it bursts." THEN, she named it Fat Albert, and we all burst out laughing. So... Fat Albert is huge, and thank God for the trigger shot I am getting tomorrow because I don't think I could handle it cysting. I need it to burst. Oh, please burst... please don't cyst over. I hope it bursts on its own, actually... I hope it doesn't grow into an alien overnight. I hope the other 2 grow, but Fat Albert needs to go on a diet.
She is thinking Fat Albert is over-mature and may not be a good candidate for conceiving... but then she said, "Well, if you end up with a big 'ol baby, we know which follie it came from." LOL. Geez. The size of the baby to the follie isn't real, but it's a funny thing to think about. I don't see how something that big is in there right now and I don't even really feel it. It's on my right ovary (Ovie), the other 2 were on the left. Lefty I've been feeling some activity going on for about a week so I knew something had to be cookin' over there... I had no idea Ovie was going to be such an over-achiever.

I guess if I have a baby who grows up be little miss or mr perfect, straight A's, over-achiever, I'll know where it came from, LOL. The dr, once again, gave me the follie ultrasound pics to keep, but this time she gave them ALL to me. Well, to Glenn, lol. Yes, Glenn got to come this time since it was on a Saturday, and I'm so thankful he got to see what is really going on in there. Fat Albert was a really cool thing to see. :) Come on Fatty, in the words of the Beatles, "don't let me down!"
