My ultra sound showed rather dim outcome today, the lead follicles in both ovaries are growing fast, leaving the rest behind. In the regroup with Dr.Surrey, we were advised these options:
A. Go through with retrieval
> fresh transfer?
> bank whatever comes out?
B. Cancel the cycle and try a new cycle on protocol 6
C. Go straight to DE (this is an open option for us since the begining)
Despite the struggles with labs, meds and coordination, I was really hoping for something more encouraging, but we have to face our reality and make the best decision for ourselves.
Dr. Surrey thinks I might trigger on Sunday and have retrieval on Tuesday. The best we can get is the two leading, and maybe a few larger ones.
Update: the nurse thought that the doctor might have forgotten about my testosterone priming, in which case I can't do a fresh transfer, so we are now mostly looking at FET.
Why couldn't things be just black & white?
MORE UPDATE:
Dr. Surrey revealed to us in our regroup today that their new CCS policy now requires 3 cycles (frozen, frozen and fresh), and they have made the price more affordable for patients.
I CAN NOT imagine going into my 11th IVF. At this point, we have changed our direct drastically, we are NOT doing CCS, but will go through with a retrieval. If fresh transfer isn't an option, and we have some quality embryos, we will do a FET.
