We also went through my Egg Report. This was my first time seeing this, which was pretty cool. Even though I already had the data, it was nice to see it all in one place.
FET #1 Plan
This is where I had to make some choices on next steps:
- Frozen Cycle (FET): Transfer 1 embryo
- Frozen Cycle (FET): Transfer 2 embryos
- Fresh Cycle: Transfer 1 or 2 embryos
- Fresh Cycle: No Transfer --> PGS any fresh + 3 frozen
- Thaw all 3 frozen now --> Test, then FET if normal.
With everything else in play (being unemployed at the moment), I decided that I'm going to go with option #1 for now. If it doesn't work, I'm thinking that I will just transfer the remaining two in June. If that doesn't work... I'll have to wait and see what happens with getting new employment and having infertility coverage. I may have to stop this path all together for a few years. I just don't know about doing an entire new fresh cycle with the costs and the uncertainty of a new job.
The other option I was entertaining was: 1) Do the FET with 1 embryo. If that doesn't work 2) Fresh Cycle in June (while my insurance is still covering) + PGS testing (transfer 1 fresh, test any remaining embryos + the 2 frozen).
It's hard to really plan, as there are so many moving pieces now with all the uncertainty hanging in the air. For now though, the plan is - Transfer 1 embryo on April 20th.
I already ordered all my meds (accept for PIO because of the short shelf life).
I wish I could be excited about this cycle... and maybe I will be later on. But with all the craziness that is my life right now, I just can't see the cycle working. I want it to work, I've wanted every single cycle to work. It's just hard to believe that I'm here still. Still wanting a baby after trying so very long... and now I've lost my job. Am I making the right choice in moving forward with the FET under these circumstances? It's just a lot to think about and process.
But I got to keep on keeping on and solider through this. I'm just hoping the extra stress doesn't impact my FET chances.
Next Steps:
- 3/23/16: Injections Training, Sign Consent Forms, Payment Due, Blood Draw, and maybe Ultrasound.
- 3/23/16: Start Lupron Injections
