Had my second ultrasound yesterday and I did have a little bit of follicular growth, but nothing bigger than 12 mm which is what they want to see. My estrogen level was also very low so my doctor's office called and cancelled the cycle. We were completely crushed that Femara was not successful in inducing ovulation. We had prepared ourselves that it might not make us pregnant the first time, but we were really hoping that it would at least give us a shot at hoping that we might be pregnant for a couple weeks.
In the fertility community there is an expression called the two week wait, it's the time period between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test (or getting your period, whichever comes first). People get very excited during this time period as they endlessly google signs such as "weird forehead sweating on 4 days post ovulation" to see if anyone has ever had this as an early pregnancy sign.
It's SO frustrating to have never since we started trying to conceive to ever have had a hope that it was even possible that we could be pregnant. And every treatment that we start that fails to induce ovulation brings us closer to running out of options/money and it scares the crap out of me.
We are going back to see the doctor today, we are really hoping he will have some good ideas for some next steps
