IVF newcomer..please help!
Hello,
I've been on this site for several months...quick info. I have a 3 year old..concieved easily..2nd time around..not been so good. Two chemicals, then a stillbirth at 20 weeks. Cord wrapped tightly around his neck causing death...heartbreaking.
So I have some FSH issues....I've had my levels tested twice and they've been at an 8 and a 12! I've done 3 IUI's....at most I produce 5-6 mature follicles.
So I'm starting IVF. Today I'm starting my 6th day of stims so it's cycle day 7. NOw I KNOW that I wont make a ton of eggs but really ladies how good or bad is this..
US showed about 8 follicles developing...but that doesnt necessarily mean 8 eggs. I have one 15, one 13, one 11, one 10, two 8's, and two 7's. Estrogen at this point is around 260 and lining is at a 7. I go back in this Wednesday which is three days from now. Any chance those smaller ones will catch up?? I'm really hoping to go to retrievel with 7 or 8 (wishful thinking) which I know isnt great considering you here some girls that go with 15!! But everything that I've read said the "norm" is around 8-15. I'm on 6amps total a day of repronex.
RE said that she was comfortable with where my cycle is at this point and she didnt make any adjustments to the meds which I thought was good. Really hoping that my age (30) will help even if I just make 6 or 7 eggs. What do you guys think??? I'm sooo scared because this is NOT CHEAP!!!!!!!!
