I've missed y'all!

I have to say it's been GREAT taking a mental and physical break over the last few months but I have truly missed the support found in this group and am dying to catch up with so many of you!  We have changed RE's and are gearing up for our last and final attempt.  We'll actually be doing two more cycles (banking embryos from the first) and then testing so we only put back "normal" embryos.  And I'm now on Metformin since she thinks I have PCOS.  Has anyone else had a similar scenario and better results?  Feeling hopefully but scared since I know this is our last shot.

    Hey hmz819!!  I've moved to Atlantic Fertility in Raleigh (Dr Copland).  I'm curious, are you doing 3 cycles (rather than 1 or 2) simply for quantity of eggs/embryos?

    Yes. I usually don't get a lot of eggs so we are trying to get as many blasts as possible for testing. I've moved on to the clinic out west and I'm hoping they can work their magic for me!

    hmz819 - that's smart!  Our numbers usually start out pretty good with the number of embryos but we end up with hardly any at the end so that's why we're doing 2 cycles.  Who know, if we don't get the numbers we need after 2, we may do a 3rd.  We're going "all in" on this go round.  AND maybe you'll end up with even better numbers this time!  :D
