Ok girls. Well that saline sonogram was traumatizing! I cramped so severely that I yelled out and tensed up. So she did it very quickly. She said my uterus was perfect and beautiful and ready for a little embryo
I told her about the problem the dr had during my iui with getting the catheter in, she said my cervix is to the side and downward but now she's mapped it out so no worries.
The medication demo and briefing was intense, so much info, no way to retain it all. But she was very thorough and answered all my questions and I feel good about it.
I asked about a Lupron vs ganirelix, she said the Lupron protocol is used more for someone with pcos that needs a little extra supression or for a poor responder to give an extra lh boost. So I start ganirelix at some point, they said the will check on day 5 to see if I'm ready for it, but that 50% of people aren't ready then.
I start with 150 follistim, and 1 vial menapur. I will use Novarel instead of ovidrel. And my progesterone will be endometrium suppositories.
Also I won't take the doxy until after transfer, and medrol(steroid),and will also take baby aspririn after transfer for several weeks. And one of the best parts....I will be asleep for retrieval!!!! What a relief!
They took 6 viles of blood!!
So all dh has to do is take 4 doses of antibiodic and give a sample. Oh he's going to get payback when I have middle of the night specialty cravings
I feel really good and informed about everything.
Do those doses sound similar to yours peachy? I know some of it is different.
). We have coverage for infertility diagnostics (with a lifetime cap of $5000) so at least our initial consult and saline sono down there will count towards the annual deductible. I'm not complaining because that benefit just started new last August, we could have been doing it completely alone!
. The retrieval I will be asleep for, and the transfer I will have Valium. So I'm not worried about those. Honestly I wish they would've given me a Valium today!
