We picked up our meds yesterday and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!
I am now more nervous than ever. There is lots more than last time as we are stimming much higher this around.
Last time we did the short protocol with 3 amps of Menopur per day, Cetrotide and Ovidrel trigger. I produced 4 eggs but only 2 made it to day 3. I am not sure of the quality as this was never discussed with us.
This time around we are doing a long protocol with Lucrin, Fostimon and Menonys. Dr C says that my right ovary is practically non-existent from all the damage done by he endo, so we have to stim higher this time around as we are counting on my left ovary to produce a few good quality eggs. He says not to expect too many eggs, but insists that he is not too concerned, because quality is much more important than quantity.
I am praying that the next 2 months fly by. I just want to start already. I am super excited and I have a really good feeling this time around.
Praying that we will get our miracle...
Hi Kuru
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have just spent my last 2 hours at the office reading through your blog.
Co-incidentally we also had IVf at a Sandton clinic (not the same as yours) last year Oct/Nov and it failed :-(.
I also decided that we should move clinics and I had my first visit with the clinic that you are at on 23 March 2011. I got a call today to say that my meds are ready today...I just need to pluck up the courage to fetch them.
I have also decided that we will do IVF in Aug/Sept as I need to prepare myself mentally and physically as I was really a wreck after our first cycle and my health has been up and down since then.
Also I think (okay I know) we actually played together on occasion when we were kids :)!
I wish you all the luck on this HORRIBLE HORRIBLE journey that we have come to know as infertility.
Take care and all the best !!
