in TTC after 35
Hi there- I just read your response to Indiana. I am so sorry about your cancelled cycle. That happened to me but I had only one follie. On my second try I had three and did go forward. All three were ICSI'd and AH and now I am 7 weeks along with one. My nurse told me to be aggressive, my RE wanted to cancel that cycle as well. I do not produce many eggs so I told him we wanted to go forward even if it was with one because I needed to know the quality of my eggs. So, do not let the RE soley control your decisions but if it is insurance that it is a differerent issue. Good luck and lots of (((HUGS)))

Hi there, thank you for the page and the inspiring story. It never would have occurred to me to push for a retrieval, so it's good to know that patients have some input and that your instinct was correct!
I pretty much knew I was doomed at the suppression check when they found only 2-3 follicles. My RE seems to think it's cyclical...we'll see. Theoretically I can't respond much worse, right?? :-) Those Gonal-F pens are going to send me to the poor house one way or the other I swear.
I have a $15K lifetime limit. The six Gonal F pens cost almost $6k when billed through insurance. And I've got to do it all over again here in 7-8 weeks so I'm going to hit my limit just on medications. Sigh. Fortunately embryo work and such can be billed against my DH.
