On Thursday, my cycle day 10, my husband and I had "relations," as my doctor puts it. So on Friday, cycle day 11, I went into the office for my first post-coital test. The doctor removed some of my cervical mucus from my cervix and peered at it under the microscope to see if it was being kind to the sperm my husband sent in about 12 hours before. Turns out, it was a little inhospitable but some of the little guys were still hanging out. Good sign.
We also got a look at my ovaries and uterus. The lining of my uterus was where it was supposed to be, though now I'm forgetting the exact measurements. Ten milimeters, maybe? We saw a 15mm follicle on my right ovary, so this month I will be ovulating from that side. My doctor said that follicles grow about 2mm per day, so by my cycle day 14 it should be around 21mm in size. Eighteen milimeters and over is great, in the world of fertility testing.
Since it was only my cycle day 11 and my cervical mucus was not in prime consistency, I will go back on Monday for another test and to have my blood drawn to check my hormone levels.
