ER Today

I had my ER this morning...they got 14 eggs. I'm pretty happy w/ that - I do sometimes wonder why they don't just up my meds to get more eggs since I was on such a low dose of stims, but I guess Cornell is all about quality not quantity. They said their ideal is 8-15, so I'm pretty good at 14. I'm exhausted and am at home resting now!

TTC in 2008. Stage II/III endo, Hashimotos hypothyroid, low morph (3%).
2 cycles Clomid/Ovidrel/TI/Crinone=BFN.
IUI #1 - 4 Follistim/Ovidrel/IUI/Crinone = BFN.
IVF #1 - Antagonist w/ ICSI 4/10. 17 retrieved, 5DT of 2, BFN :(
IVF #2 - Long Lupron w/ ICSI 6/10. 15 retrieved, 3DT of 2, BFFN!!
Lap 7/21/10
IVF #3 - Clomid/Antagonist w/ ICSI 10/10. 14 retreived, 3DT of 3, BFP 10/20 but m/c. No HB 11/15/10 - D&C 11/17/10.
FET - 2 blasts, 1 survived the thaw. Transfer 2/19. Beta #1 3/1 375, Beta #2 3/3 885, Beta #3 3/8 4261, Beta #4 3/11 9005. U/S 3/8 1 sac 1 yolk, U/S 3/16 1 heartbeat 114bpm!

    it's quality cutie! 

    we got 22 eggs last IVF (17 mature) and my RE is lowering meds to get less eggs.

    they know what they're doing.

    Praying for an awesome fert report.

    That's great!  FWIW my doc also said they aim for 10-15 follies.  When I asked why they said the goal is to get you PG, not have frosties and not have OHSS, so they want quality eggs.
