@mandasand- that is great news!! So glad more are growing! You got this!!
@kp214- thanks! Unfortunately it's looking like it could be a long delay. It's day 27 and I still haven't ovulated and there is a follicle at 35mm! I feel like it must be a cyst. I started brown spotting, which I never have before, so I have no idea what's going on. They wanted to start me on provera to induce a period and then start stims but I don't want to. It's basically birth control and last time I did that my cycle was cancelled. So going back on Monday. If I still haven't ovulated I may do the provera but I will take another month off and try to do estrogen priming. I am so sick of delays but this is our last chance so if I have to wait another 4-6 weeks I will. Hope you have been feeling good. Can't wait to someday join you on the other side!

@JamieH2000 ugh sorry for the delay, but glad u have the right attitude. I forced one of my cycles, I had a cyst and once it went away my levels were good to start and I did. I'm always in a rush and that was my cycle with Lupron microdose and I had disappearing follies. My Dr said in looking back we probably shouldve waited but she knows i'm in a rush so we went ahead. At times it would be nice for my dr to be the dr u kno. Its like every womans body reacts different so they almost just go with the flow if the levels r good. I'm using estradiol patches too - brand alvogen. Today I didn't wear my jeans that r getting tighter by the day so that probably helped the situation...I think

@hopeful_mom- ya I'm not pleased about waiting but I'm going to be patient and make sure my body is all good before we try for the last time. Hope the patches are staying in and you should be starting soon right?!

@jamieh2000 funny my patch was still giving me grief after my too long of a too hot shower...which probably explains it I don't know why I thought AF would first be arriving more around thursday as that would be 2 weeks of patches but tomorrow is cycle day 28 and I spotted so you are correct my dear. I had terrible cramps earlier today which then made me take a better look at the calendar as well...assuming I'll be going for baseline on monday or tuesday...nervous what a waits me...

@mandasand- ditto to you! its so nice to have a few ladies who really understand the additional challenges of DOR infertility and the challenging prognosis. While of course I want to see every lady on this board have success, its particularly exciting when one of us who has had multiple rounds find success. I really hope you start off this spring right with good news! Hope the trigger went good last night, I am hoping for amazing news for your ER!! I know I was nervous about the anesthesia, but it was really much simpler than general anesthesia (which is all I had really done before this), and I didn't have any issues with nausea or anything afterwards. you will definitely be in my thoughts tomorrow!!
@hopeful_mom- its exciting to have AF when you actually want it to come so you can get started! Will you baseline be tomorrow? I hope its the best AFC yet!! For my EPP cycle, I actually had an AFC of 13 and got 12 eggs, which is not normal to get all the follies at baseline to grow, so I really really hope that is the case for you too!

@mandasand wishing u all the success for tomorrow, hoping you get some strong mature follies ready to become embabies!!
AFM: AF is really here in full force, so tomorrow I will go in for my baseline and see whats in store. My dr called today and when I looked at the phone I first thought they were calling to confirm my appt...thats in my head cause i know i need to go in. I knew AF was on its way so I answered the phone 1/2 a sleep and then to my surprise it was my dr..on a sunday. This must've been her weekend, she was following up with my blood results which I should be happy came back normal, didn't show anything that wouldve caused the MC. She did mention I have the MTHFR gene which she said 50% of woman have it. Originally they thought maybe it could cause MC back in the day but that no longer seems to be the case. She also knows me and told me that google will have things that are not accurate so I shouldn't become obsessed..who me HAHA!!! Trying so hard to stay positive and then i'm just nervous I want get good news...not a good way to be going in for baselineI know. Its a lil hard to not feel that way...anyone familiar with that gene?
@JamieH2000 thanks for the words of encouragement, I need then today. Its funny cause I am most concerned about the AFC count this time around. I've only had the patch on for about 10 days now, really hoping that its made a good difference. I would love to have a cycle that I can really produce in. You really did get a lot its very promising!!! A year ago I had 8 and 6 AFC count, and I've never had that at a baseline, 4 and 4 I think was the highest...fingers crossed for double digits and a good response!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, super cold on the east coast!!

@Kp214 thanks! I'm doing 2 more ERs (lifetime limit) and then we'll see what (if anything) I have and go from there. If I can do FET again it won't be until August at this point because that's how quickly I can get to that point with an ERA as well.
Afm- 2 blasts. Waiting on PGS Bc I *TW* lost the last 4 embryos I had (2 natural conception, 2 FET). My RE thinks all the embryos were abnormal so my hopes are very restrained. But there's hope- at least there are 2 blasts to even test. I didn't expect that many!

@Hopeful_mom estrogen patches increased my AFC - for the past two years I had max 6 and after I did estrogen priming it increased to 12. I'm hoping to get 6 at my ER tomorrow, that would be sweet!

@rainbowwishes5 I'm so happy you have 2 blasts to test! I'm really hoping they are both normal. So, do you plan to start another cycle while waiting on the results?
@Hopeful_mom my afc started with 5 the cycle I did EPP. I ended up with more showing up as the cycle progressed and retrieved 10, although at one point they saw 15. As far as the MTHFR mutation, I think it really depends on which gene it is. I take a special king of folate, Metanx, since my body doesn't process folic acid like others. I think it's because of the gene mutation. I also added a baby aspirin daily to my list of supplements. I read about the baby aspirin online. The metanx was recommended by my re. Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you cycle goes.
@JamieH2000 I hope you get good news today. I know you are ready to start priming.

@Hopeful_mom it ended up being 4 weeks because even though I had a great AFC, one follicle was dominant so they triggered ovulation and then I started stims two weeks later after I got my period (we did do timed intercourse just in case, no point in wasting an egg!!). The last 12 days we increased my estrogen patches to 3. My AFC has stayed steady at 11-12 follies since I started estrogen. It's important to recruit as many follies before stims because it's unpredictable if you end up with more follies after baseline and start stimming or less. In my case, at baseline I had 12 and by day 5 of stims I had 6 and stayed steady up until day 14.
my retrieval is in a few hours. I am pretty nervous and have diarrhea and threw up a little...I know it's just nerves!

I had 0 eggs at retrieval today. Hubby and I are going to take a few days to recover and then discuss next steps - donor eggs, embryo adoption, adoption. I will not be attempting another round of IVF. While sad and disappointed, I am okay. We knew this was a possibility and we have closure and knew we did everything we could.

@mandasand- I'm so sorry I just logged on and was hoping to see a good update from you. You are being so strong but I know it's devastating. You did everything you could and you are right there are still lots of options to have a family. We are all here for you if you need to talk- feel free to message me always. Thinking of you.
AFM- still no ovulation. Giving up on this month and just gonna wait to get AF and try priming next month. Work has been super stressful so it may be for the best.

@Kp214 and @Hopeful_mom no results for 2 weeks. April ER, May benched, June ER, July ERA, August FET (assuming I have any normals). That's why I have to wait until August. I want to know what I'm looking at here and there's no guarantee either blast is normal and I **tw** lost my last 4 embryos to cps sooo I want to just do my lifetime ERs, see what u have, transfer if I have Any to transfer and if not move on to egg donor.

@Isthisthereallife hey!! how are you feeling?? I was lurking on the other side but didn't see your update. A lil girl awwwww how fantastic, congrats!!
@kp214 thanks for the info. I'm still confused by it all. Always something new to figure out. I'm taking the folic acid and she seemed to think that should be enough.
AFM: I didnt sleep a wink going in for my baseline, you think I was headed in for ER. I was super anxious I guess. SO I asked what the AFC was and she saw 2 on the right and 4 on the left. A year ago I had 8 and 6, so I'm just so confused how it can be so much less. Even if each one gives me one that would still be better then I have had before. I find myself way more unsettled this time, just not sure why. Its over a year now and they re did all my blood work, besides just checking my levels. I was happy to get the go ahead to start as my levels were on point and everything looked good. The only concerned was my levels for my thyroid, it was 2.5 and then 34, they said its suppose to be under 26. Now this could explain my more anxious feeling BUT I've gained so much weight so seriously that makes even less sense to me I was a little out of practice with my shots last night I was making a mess!! Hoping I can get a bunch of my golden eggs!!!

@Hopeful_mom a lot can change in a year. Honestly, I would be a little stressed out about that too. However, if I was in your shoes I would still move forward.
My doctor called me today and we discussed options for a donor egg, either through them (must be military dependent or active military), through SD Fertility, or find my own donor. He said he's "heard" there's a lot of dependent military at Camp Pendleton looking to be donors. I guess they post on forums or there's some kind of listserve but could not tell me exactly where, it's just something he's heard. Something I may look into. If I use an agency, the fee is $7k plus donor fee of $5k. But if I find my own donor I guess I just have to pay them a fee and then hire an attorney to do the paperwork. I'm just guessing here! The other option is embryo adoption which is less $ because it's illegal to sell embryos, they must be donated so the fee is for agency to do paperwork. I would then be covered at Navy Clinic for a FET which is $1100 all inclusive. The other option is straight adoption of a born child. Doctor said nothing about any treatments like IUI or IVF. I think that ship has sailed. It's a lot of options to consider and I won't rush into it but do some research. On the plus side, if we do donor or embryo adoption, my Doctor said call him and he will facilitate getting me on the calendar and not to worry about waiting list or anything like that. My husband is not ready to talk about any of it yet so I plan to give him the options once he's ready. I feel really bad for him...I'm sure he's so worried about me and I have suffered from depression in the past, but I want to show him I'm strong and can handle anything.
Me: 37 / Hubs: 42 TTC: April 2013 DOR: AMH .3 - 1.31 (it varies); FSH: 5.1 Clinic NMCSD IUI #1 July/Aug 2016 IVF #1 Sep/Oct Microdose Lupron Protocol - IVF cancelled only 1 follicle IVF #2 Feb/Mar Antagonist protocol w/estrogen priming - 0 eggs retrieved (empty follicle syndrome) Donor Egg Cycle as soon as we find a match
@Hopeful_mom- Yay for getting started! I totally understand being nervous about the AFC. If it makes you feel better, I did get an egg out of every follie I had at my baseline after estrogen priming. I have also seen some ladies get MORE eggs than they had follies at the baseline. So hopefully that will be case. I know how scary it is to go in for each U/S with DOR though. SO hoping this is your cycle. please keep us posted!
@mandasand- you are being SO strong and I am so happy your clinic went over options with you. It is a lot to consider for sure. That is great they won't make you do the wait lists or anything. That is also amazing that the donor IVF cycle part will be covered (though I realize the fees, etc are still thousands). Except for Massachusetts and the military program you have, I don't think any state/insurance will cover donor. So if we move on to donor, we will be looking at ~$30k for a full fresh cycle. Hopefully once you are ready, you can look into some agencies and see some profiles. I have already done that with two clinics and its nice to get idea what is out there. If you are interested, there is a facebook group I am part of for donor eggs. Thinking of you!

Hopeful_mom thank you! Doing well over here. Just chugging along. I lurk on both boards but find that I don't have much to add these days.
I'm sorry you're feeling so unsettled. Hopefully as the cycle ramps up - you'll feel more confident. I can only imagine how it must be with everything that happened at the beginning of the year, but please know I'm thinking of you and praying for you and know that you'll get a beautiful bouncy miracle (or two). Hugs!!

@Isthisthereallife It definitely hasn't been an easy month, I keep thinking of where i shouldve been so its a lil tougher then I would like it to be. It took forever to get a negative beta so I'm glad I"m back at it...I wish it was sooner, as funny as that sounds! For me it has to be quality over quantity, it would be great if i could get a lil of both Are you thinking of names thanks for the prayers I'll take them all and hope they're being heard!!
@jamieh2000 i hate feeling this way, I want to be excited and hopeful but I feel so opposite. I think its cause I still dont know what this cycle will hold. I want to get pregnant right away and really dont want to do banking BUT I think I need to give into that and hope that thought process will put me more as ease, who knows. Have you ovulated yet? What cycle day are you on now?
@mandasand i need to have my levels checked tomorrow so i'm hoping that it shouldn't stop my cycle, its just not another thing i need to worry about. I think its feeling the pressure of my clock ticking thats driving me nuts.
Anyone want to shed light on how to add my info on the bottom, apparently I'm not doing it right...

hi ladies!! I had an US this morning so I thought I would come share...
AFM: I went in for an US today and it's my 3rd day of stemming technically since it was this morning. I was happy to hear that I had 2 on the right and 3/4 on the left...now I'm hoping they all stick around and grow together!!
The largest they measured was a 9 and the others are all under 6 which I'm ok with since it is only day 3, I guess was just hoping I could get more with using the patch, like it was my miracle drug or something. I guess we shall see.
I've had disappearing follies in the past so i think i'm just nervous about the whole thing. Hitting double digits is a long shot for me but a girl can dream can't she

Ladies- would appreciate your opinion/thoughts. So its day 34 and no AF. Just went in for one last bloodwork and I'm going to give in and start Provera tonight assuming no ovulation. From what I understand, provera is similar to BC (but not as suppressive according to my RE). I will take it for 10 days and then get AF.
She said I could start the stim cycle then (so in like 2 weeks or so), but I am concerned about not doing the estrogen priming. Do you think its worth it to go in for a baseline and see how the levels/AFC look? or should I just be patient and keep waiting? My RE doesn't seem to think its necessary... but this is my last shot and I just it to go as best as it can. If I waited to do estrogen priming, its another 4 weeks delay, and into May for ER/ET.

@JamieH2000 that is a tough decision. If this is your last time, what can you live with? If you don't do EPP, will you always wonder "what if..." if things don't work out? Or, will you be ok, knowing you've done all that you can either way? Just some things to think about. Good luck.

Ladies thank u so much for all the support its greatly appreciated!! My patch left me some welt, thats what I get for taking such a hot shower I guess, it was killing last night luckily this morning its not burning as much. Really hoping these puppies are going to continue to grow and be strong!!
@JamieH2000 hmmmm thats a lot to think about. You thought the EPP did make a difference so I can understand wanting to try it again, I'm sitting here hoping it will work magical powers. Do you know your AFC for each cycle. I dont and they dont have records of it either which is annoying. I had that I learn new things to do at each appt. Anyway I think doing a baseline couldn't hurt and you can decide then...technically you could go through the cycle and see how your body responds and then decide whether to go through with ER. Nothing is ever 100% with this process...I feel that way even now. Going through the lupron cycle showed me how bad a cycle can go. You do have time so take it one day at a time. I think gathering all the knowledge and where your body is at will help you make a decision.

Thanks ladies!! You'd think I would expect these delays after being at this with an RE for over a year but nope! It looks like I do take Estrace with the provera so it's kinda like estrogen priming. Still worried about being over suppressed so I may email my RE and try to understand a little more about the pills I'm taking and why she thinks it's less suppressive than bc. I'll probably do the baseline and see how things work. Not sure how they would know if I'm over suppressed. Last time my AFC was only 8 when it has been 13, so if my AFC doesn't look good, I would probably wait a cycle.
@hopeful_mom- when is your next US?! I'm thinking of you!

@JamieH2000 I think that sounds like a good plan. I'm frustrated that I dont really know what my AFC was at my other starts BUT like my RE said whatever it is does it mean you're not going to start? And shes right because every month is a gamble. I go in tomorrow for more monitoring...can't say I'm not nervous about it AND I hate that I feel so unsettled!!
I just realized I never asked my RE this question and wonder if it a possible. If I go through this cycle and get a whole bunch of embabies to test I almost rather test them right away while doing another IVF round so that when I do the next ER I can have hopefully the results of the first batch in and then still be able do a fresh transfer. I'm sure somehow this will cost me more but is it possible? I feel like with the banking they want to send all the samples out together...

@hopeful_mom- yes you are def right! Each cycle is a gamble for sure. I think I have read about some places where you can send embryos at different times for one price (like up to 8 or something). I would def ask your RE. I agree it would be nice to do a fresh transfer on the second retrieval with one of your frozen embryos!

AFM: Had my US this morning and I was a bit disappointed. Left is showing 13.5, 9, 7, 5.5, and a 4 (shes being my champion this round) my right had 2 on thursday and now today she just saw one its maybe at a 7 so we're not sure if its growing or not ugh!!! I'll be adding the cetritide in earlier this cycle starting tomorrow, probably so my 13.5 stays at bay and hopefully the smaller ones can catch up!! Seeing how this cycle is going seems i'm going to have to do another month of this ugh!! Its times like these I wish I could've talked to my younger self to just go freeze eggs!!
@jamieh2000 glad u understood my question Now lets see if my RE will. I feel like I need to ask the PGS dr. I think its going to come down to if they can't turn it around in enough time. Feeling a bit discouraged after todays US. Why couldn't I just still be pregnant with my twins and be done. I think thats the tougher part of having the low amh, you're not making 20 eggs to play with, I have to pray I can get 5. I thought EPP would've given me a lil more and its really not so I guess i'm just a lil down about it. AND that 13 can screw up the whole thing. Its sometimes better not being knowledgeable so you don't stress and worry as much through the process!

@kp214- thanks! Unfortunately it's looking like it could be a long delay. It's day 27 and I still haven't ovulated and there is a follicle at 35mm! I feel like it must be a cyst. I started brown spotting, which I never have before, so I have no idea what's going on. They wanted to start me on provera to induce a period and then start stims but I don't want to. It's basically birth control and last time I did that my cycle was cancelled. So going back on Monday. If I still haven't ovulated I may do the provera but I will take another month off and try to do estrogen priming. I am so sick of delays but this is our last chance so if I have to wait another 4-6 weeks I will. Hope you have been feeling good. Can't wait to someday join you on the other side!

@JamieH2000 ugh sorry for the delay, but glad u have the right attitude. I forced one of my cycles, I had a cyst and once it went away my levels were good to start and I did. I'm always in a rush and that was my cycle with Lupron microdose and I had disappearing follies. My Dr said in looking back we probably shouldve waited but she knows i'm in a rush so we went ahead. At times it would be nice for my dr to be the dr u kno. Its like every womans body reacts different so they almost just go with the flow if the levels r good. I'm using estradiol patches too - brand alvogen. Today I didn't wear my jeans that r getting tighter by the day so that probably helped the situation...I think

@mandasand- ditto to you! its so nice to have a few ladies who really understand the additional challenges of DOR infertility and the challenging prognosis. While of course I want to see every lady on this board have success, its particularly exciting when one of us who has had multiple rounds find success. I really hope you start off this spring right with good news! Hope the trigger went good last night, I am hoping for amazing news for your ER!! I know I was nervous about the anesthesia, but it was really much simpler than general anesthesia (which is all I had really done before this), and I didn't have any issues with nausea or anything afterwards. you will definitely be in my thoughts tomorrow!!
@hopeful_mom- its exciting to have AF when you actually want it to come so you can get started! Will you baseline be tomorrow? I hope its the best AFC yet!! For my EPP cycle, I actually had an AFC of 13 and got 12 eggs, which is not normal to get all the follies at baseline to grow, so I really really hope that is the case for you too!

AFM: AF is really here in full force, so tomorrow I will go in for my baseline and see whats in store. My dr called today and when I looked at the phone I first thought they were calling to confirm my appt...thats in my head cause i know i need to go in. I knew AF was on its way so I answered the phone 1/2 a sleep and then to my surprise it was my dr..on a sunday. This must've been her weekend, she was following up with my blood results which I should be happy came back normal, didn't show anything that wouldve caused the MC. She did mention I have the MTHFR gene which she said 50% of woman have it. Originally they thought maybe it could cause MC back in the day but that no longer seems to be the case. She also knows me and told me that google will have things that are not accurate so I shouldn't become obsessed..who me HAHA!!! Trying so hard to stay positive and then i'm just nervous I want get good news...not a good way to be going in for baselineI know. Its a lil hard to not feel that way...anyone familiar with that gene?
@JamieH2000 thanks for the words of encouragement, I need then today. Its funny cause I am most concerned about the AFC count this time around. I've only had the patch on for about 10 days now, really hoping that its made a good difference. I would love to have a cycle that I can really produce in. You really did get a lot its very promising!!! A year ago I had 8 and 6 AFC count, and I've never had that at a baseline, 4 and 4 I think was the highest...fingers crossed for double digits and a good response!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend, super cold on the east coast!!

@Kp214 thanks! I'm doing 2 more ERs (lifetime limit) and then we'll see what (if anything) I have and go from there. If I can do FET again it won't be until August at this point because that's how quickly I can get to that point with an ERA as well.
Afm- 2 blasts. Waiting on PGS Bc I *TW* lost the last 4 embryos I had (2 natural conception, 2 FET). My RE thinks all the embryos were abnormal so my hopes are very restrained. But there's hope- at least there are 2 blasts to even test. I didn't expect that many!

@Hopeful_mom my afc started with 5 the cycle I did EPP. I ended up with more showing up as the cycle progressed and retrieved 10, although at one point they saw 15. As far as the MTHFR mutation, I think it really depends on which gene it is. I take a special king of folate, Metanx, since my body doesn't process folic acid like others. I think it's because of the gene mutation. I also added a baby aspirin daily to my list of supplements. I read about the baby aspirin online. The metanx was recommended by my re. Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you cycle goes.
@JamieH2000 I hope you get good news today. I know you are ready to start priming.

@rainbowwishes5 ah now i got it. Thats a great plan you have better patience then me and the time...I just want to go go go and get pregnant asap!
@Isthisthereallife hey!! how are you feeling?? I was lurking on the other side but didn't see your update. A lil girl awwwww how fantastic, congrats!!
@kp214 thanks for the info. I'm still confused by it all. Always something new to figure out. I'm taking the folic acid and she seemed to think that should be enough.
AFM: I didnt sleep a wink going in for my baseline, you think I was headed in for ER. I was super anxious I guess. SO I asked what the AFC was and she saw 2 on the right and 4 on the left. A year ago I had 8 and 6, so I'm just so confused how it can be so much less. Even if each one gives me one that would still be better then I have had before. I find myself way more unsettled this time, just not sure why. Its over a year now and they re did all my blood work, besides just checking my levels. I was happy to get the go ahead to start as my levels were on point and everything looked good. The only concerned was my levels for my thyroid, it was 2.5 and then 34, they said its suppose to be under 26. Now this could explain my more anxious feeling BUT I've gained so much weight so seriously that makes even less sense to me

My doctor called me today and we discussed options for a donor egg, either through them (must be military dependent or active military), through SD Fertility, or find my own donor. He said he's "heard" there's a lot of dependent military at Camp Pendleton looking to be donors. I guess they post on forums or there's some kind of listserve but could not tell me exactly where, it's just something he's heard. Something I may look into. If I use an agency, the fee is $7k plus donor fee of $5k. But if I find my own donor I guess I just have to pay them a fee and then hire an attorney to do the paperwork. I'm just guessing here! The other option is embryo adoption which is less $ because it's illegal to sell embryos, they must be donated so the fee is for agency to do paperwork. I would then be covered at Navy Clinic for a FET which is $1100 all inclusive. The other option is straight adoption of a born child. Doctor said nothing about any treatments like IUI or IVF. I think that ship has sailed. It's a lot of options to consider and I won't rush into it but do some research. On the plus side, if we do donor or embryo adoption, my Doctor said call him and he will facilitate getting me on the calendar and not to worry about waiting list or anything like that. My husband is not ready to talk about any of it yet so I plan to give him the options once he's ready. I feel really bad for him...I'm sure he's so worried about me and I have suffered from depression in the past, but I want to show him I'm strong and can handle anything.

@Hopeful_mom- Yay for getting started! I totally understand being nervous about the AFC. If it makes you feel better, I did get an egg out of every follie I had at my baseline after estrogen priming. I have also seen some ladies get MORE eggs than they had follies at the baseline. So hopefully that will be case. I know how scary it is to go in for each U/S with DOR though. SO hoping this is your cycle. please keep us posted!
@mandasand- you are being SO strong and I am so happy your clinic went over options with you. It is a lot to consider for sure. That is great they won't make you do the wait lists or anything. That is also amazing that the donor IVF cycle part will be covered (though I realize the fees, etc are still thousands). Except for Massachusetts and the military program you have, I don't think any state/insurance will cover donor. So if we move on to donor, we will be looking at ~$30k for a full fresh cycle. Hopefully once you are ready, you can look into some agencies and see some profiles. I have already done that with two clinics and its nice to get idea what is out there. If you are interested, there is a facebook group I am part of for donor eggs. Thinking of you!

I'm sorry you're feeling so unsettled. Hopefully as the cycle ramps up - you'll feel more confident. I can only imagine how it must be with everything that happened at the beginning of the year, but please know I'm thinking of you and praying for you and know that you'll get a beautiful bouncy miracle (or two). Hugs!!

@jamieh2000 i hate feeling this way, I want to be excited and hopeful but I feel so opposite. I think its cause I still dont know what this cycle will hold. I want to get pregnant right away and really dont want to do banking BUT I think I need to give into that and hope that thought process will put me more as ease, who knows. Have you ovulated yet? What cycle day are you on now?
@mandasand i need to have my levels checked tomorrow so i'm hoping that it shouldn't stop my cycle, its just not another thing i need to worry about. I think its feeling the pressure of my clock ticking thats driving me nuts.
Anyone want to shed light on how to add my info on the bottom, apparently I'm not doing it right...

AFM: I went in for an US today and it's my 3rd day of stemming technically since it was this morning. I was happy to hear that I had 2 on the right and 3/4 on the left...now I'm hoping they all stick around and grow together!!
The largest they measured was a 9 and the others are all under 6 which I'm ok with since it is only day 3, I guess was just hoping I could get more with using the patch, like it was my miracle drug or something. I guess we shall see.
I've had disappearing follies in the past so i think i'm just nervous about the whole thing. Hitting double digits is a long shot for me but a girl can dream can't she

Ladies- would appreciate your opinion/thoughts. So its day 34 and no AF. Just went in for one last bloodwork and I'm going to give in and start Provera tonight assuming no ovulation. From what I understand, provera is similar to BC (but not as suppressive according to my RE). I will take it for 10 days and then get AF.
She said I could start the stim cycle then (so in like 2 weeks or so), but I am concerned about not doing the estrogen priming. Do you think its worth it to go in for a baseline and see how the levels/AFC look? or should I just be patient and keep waiting? My RE doesn't seem to think its necessary... but this is my last shot and I just it to go as best as it can. If I waited to do estrogen priming, its another 4 weeks delay, and into May for ER/ET.

@JamieH2000 hmmmm thats a lot to think about. You thought the EPP did make a difference so I can understand wanting to try it again, I'm sitting here hoping it will work magical powers. Do you know your AFC for each cycle. I dont and they dont have records of it either which is annoying. I had that I learn new things to do at each appt. Anyway I think doing a baseline couldn't hurt and you can decide then...technically you could go through the cycle and see how your body responds and then decide whether to go through with ER. Nothing is ever 100% with this process...I feel that way even now. Going through the lupron cycle showed me how bad a cycle can go. You do have time so take it one day at a time. I think gathering all the knowledge and where your body is at will help you make a decision.

I just realized I never asked my RE this question and wonder if it a possible. If I go through this cycle and get a whole bunch of embabies to test I almost rather test them right away while doing another IVF round so that when I do the next ER I can have hopefully the results of the first batch in and then still be able do a fresh transfer. I'm sure somehow this will cost me more but is it possible? I feel like with the banking they want to send all the samples out together...
