2 Q's

I am going to preface this post by saying that both of these question are probably newbie Q's even though I am not.  One IF related and one not.  Thanks for any help.

 

First, are the follicles that they can see on Day 2 baseline u/s the same as a AFC?  I have been wanting to ask that for a few months now but always feel like I should know.  ;)

 

Second, if I wanted to change the icon over my name to a personal picture or a clip art picture, how do I? 

Re: 2 Q's

  • Yes, the follicles they see at baseline is the AFC. It can vary a little month to month. Mine was actually 5 this past month (which is good for me!).

  • Thanks ladies.  Mine are never good.  This time she said one on the right and a "few" on the left.  The u/s tech seemed reluctant to tell me and I didn't push what "a few" meant.
  • Thanks McIrish...testing if it worked.

    Nope...not sure what I am doing because it shows up when I go to mybump but not in my posts.

    It may just take a while to show up. I had to wait almost 3 hours for my avatar to change.

    I see it as a girl with a pink umbrella in the rain- so maybe it's already fixed :)

    Don't worry about the AFC. Brigham never told me what they saw and I don't think they even report it since they only measure over 12mm.

    No they don't report it, I was just curious.  Rachel said she wasn't going to check it because she knew it would be low...no point.  I just insist on torturing myself.  ;)

    This!

  • I like your avatar.  If you changed it to the girl with the pink umbrella, I really love it.

    I had someone I had never seen at the clinic before do my AFC count this cycle and I think she just made some numbers up.  I almost always have between 10 and 15 and she reported 15 on each side!  I don't think it's ever very accurate.
