Cycle Day 3

This first period after miscarriage is  H E A V Y.  Wowsa.  Where is all this blood coming from?  I feel like I've been bleeding all summer.  I haven't soaked pads since I was a teenager.  I haven't leaked during the night and stained my sheets since college. 

Everything looked normal on the baseline scan today, though.

Lining measures 4.4
My right ovary had 8 resting follicles.  My left ovary was mostly obscured by my intestine (lefty always seems to hide).  The RE counted at least 3 with only a partial view.  In total, I should have more than 11, which is what I had for IVF #1.  That's hopeful.

Blood results include:

FSH: 8.99 (past values include 7.08 and 9.3)
E2: 23 (this seems low?)
TSH: 1.69
T4: 1.21

Popped my first birth control pill this evening and I should get my protocol and calendar this week!

Oh, and my Hcg did finally drop to zero.
