Super exciting Mo!
AFM - had my first u/s blood work at CCRM. 26 follicles growing, largest is 16mm, smallest is 6mm. My e2 is already pretty high which is not surprising for me, its always been in the 4000s in my previous cycles at trigger day. With so many follicles active how can it not be. They don't seem too concerned and I'm familiar with drinking a ton of fluids to make sure that I'm not getting OHSS. I'm really really excited at this point to get them out and see how they do in the lab.
Honey and I had a big decision to make today which was nerve wracking. We met with the geneticists and she said based on our family history, all of our numbers, and my age that doing CCS wasn't necessary even though we have had failed cycles in the past. She wasn't detering us from doing the CCS testing but just wanted us to be aware that they may all come back normal or most of them normal since everythig else looks good. So we had to make the decision whether or not to follow through with the CCS testing. We chose to still pay the money to do it because we've had the failures and we really want answers at this point. If we do the testing and most of them come back abnormal we know that there's a problem with my eggs that most likely there is nothing they can assist us with and at that point I'm ok with accepting that donor eggs is my way to have a child.
I've said it throughout my entire journey with infertility. The main goal for me is to experience pregnancy. That is my right as a woman and I will get to do that!
Sorry for the somewhat long post.
Hope everyone else is well.
