I went in today for a close to final scan/draw. I have been taking Follistim & Dexamethosone (pill) in the mornings and then Repronex in the evenings. I have around 4 eggs on each ovary and there are at least one on each that was a good size but the others were smaller. So they kept pushing back a day to help the others catch up. Today the RE decided that he didn't want to risk waiting any longer for fear of losing the good sized eggs.
So tonight I get to take the trigger shots and also a last dose of Repronex and Follistim. And the retrieval will be on friday morning! I felt so relieved now that it is all scheduled. The first attempt things changed because I wasn't responding properly so that converted to an IUI and then when we could try again we had scheduling conflicts, so it wasn't even a full try.
I guess for awhile there I was freaking out because I had switched insurance at work to the one that covered fertility. Well of course this insurance has a monthly deductible and the other one doesn't, so there was up front cost right there. So my hubby and I decided to try for a year with this insurance and then switch back next year. My dilemma was that its already July and we hadn't even gone through a full IVF cycle yet, so I felt like the year was flying by with little to show for it.
Thankfully we are actually going through with this cycle and everything seems to be going well. I'm a little nervous about the egg retrieval on friday but excited also. I guess I'm not to worried about myself but with what the end results will be; how many eggs retrieved, how many will fertilize, etc..
At this point though I am trying to remain optimistic!
