Help me decipher my OB appt?
Hi ladies,
I just returned from my OB's office. I hadn't been in that office since the day in April when they said "no heart beat." So yeah, it sucked.
I made an appointment to ask about all my pre-AF spotting. She did an ultrasound and confirmed that I ovulated. She also measured my uterine lining (said it was "okay") and drew blood to test progesterone levels. (Even though the timing wasn't great. I think I am 8 or 9 DPO based on my CBEFM.)
She wants to do a monitored cycle next month -- so I guess that is good.
Here is my "crazy-lady" question: While looking around my uterus (trans vaginal ultrasound) she said that the lining looked okay, no fibroids and "I don't see anything hiding in there." I said "you mean embryos?" and she said "No."
Do you think she meant "No, I don't see any embryo" or "No, I don't mean embryos" ??? I was flustered and did not ask her to clarify. Is it even possible to see something at 9 DPO?

I think she ment no nothing hiding. As if you took the blood today to see if you ovulated even if you did implant the baby would be so tiny ( the size of a seed) that it would not even show up on a ultrasound.
I know this because When I was in the ER for cysts that burst and they were doing an ultrasound of my ute to see what was causing the pain (18 golf ball cysts in my left overy) they never saw anything in my ute. I found out 3 days later I was pregnant with triplets.
I hope you do find out your pregnant though.
Ugh that's frustrating. I think, despite her awkward wording, I would take it to mean she doesn't see anything hiding.
9 DPO is still early so hopefully something was hiding.

Tell me about it!! I think "okay" = "not great." poo.
And you TOTALLY nailed the "vibe" of the appointment. The only time she spoke in anything but a monotone voice was to tell me about her 17 week old son. FML!
