Based on how I have responded Dr. House is recommending converting my cycle to IVF.
Since I have a lot of follicles every month to start with, stimulating them with drugs meant there was a chance they could "really take off" and my cycle would have to be converted to IVF to avoid the risk of multiples. I absolutely do not want to be an Octo-mom. Avoiding multiples is a no-brainer for me. So after a short discussion with Mr. Scout, a good friend, and my message board buddies, Mr. Scout and I decided we're going to take a shot at IVF.
It ain't cheap...so this may well be our one and only IVF. I'm confident that it's the way to go. If it works then holy crap I'll be pregnant soon! If it doesn't work then I'll know I tried and maybe going forward I'll be able to let go a little bit and just let whatever will be, be.
My stats this morning - 8 follicles on the right side measuring:
3 @ 17mm
1 @ 16mm
2 @ 15mm
1 @ 13mm
1 @ 12mm
5 follicles on the left side measuring:
1 @ 15mm
2 @ 13mm
1 @ 12mm
1 @ 11mm
I had a feeling my ovaries were partying and getting high on the drugs!!!
The plan now:
- continuing injecting the Gonal F
- go to the clinic Thursday afternoon for a Cetrotide injection
- go to the clinic Friday morning for bloodwork and ultrasound
- give myself a trigger shot likely sometime Friday evening or Saturday
- retrieval will take place Sunday or Monday
- transfer 3 days after that
This is all happening so fast!
