Well good news, bad news and bad news.
Good news is that I have 5 eggs...7 follies. Dr. K is very torn and said my body is making his job very difficult.
Because we can go ahead with the retrieval. However, since I did produce more eggs, he says that depsite the Diminished Ovarian Reserve, my ovaries are hanging tough, they're fighting. He believes that with a "Flare" protocol a more aggressive treatment that I can absolutely gett more eggs. I said do you think about 9-12 and he said yes.
If money were no object he'd say let's go to retrieval...5 eggs are good and we may even have more hiding. But since it is, he says it's not that great of a cycle and we can do better. I told him that we could probably do another IVF next year. He said, "I absolutely don't want you waiting 6 months." Which led me to believe that whatever IVF's we need to have, better happen within the next 6 months or this baby thing is going to not happen or that our odds will be significantly reduced.
He was uplifted though because he was NOT expecting me to grow more eggs.
He also mentioned about not wasting this cycle and converting it to IUI which he will give us at a 50% reduction.
If we decide no on all, IVF #2 will be in November (will have to go bcp's for 2 weeks again after AF) very near Thanksgiving.
So Pete and I have some decisions to make regarding the IUI. I have to still talk to P about the retrieval but I think he'd agree with me in waiting. Unless with the new info, that we only have 6 more good months, he may feel differently. He couldn't come with me because both of his boss' are out today and he had to be at work to open up the shift.
We've talked about cashing in our 401k's which would give us 4 more attempts. So, we need to talk today.
I asked Dr. K for just a bit more info about how many eggs I have and if we could do ICSI...this is his response:
You have 1 mature and I think between 3-5 that will be mature in one more day
ICSI could increase fertilization but it is rarely 100%. Usually about 66% so if we say get 6 eggs, 5 mature, ICSI 5 (a likely scenario) the most likely outcome is 3 embryos. Of those 3 the expectation is that one may not survive or not be good quality – so you would have a pretty good chance of having 2 good embryos, of course you could do better, but you could also do worse
If we started with say 10 eggs obviously the odds of finding 2 good embryos increases, and there’s even a chance for extra frozen embryos for future use
Hope this helps
Still haven't had the chance to talk with P yet but it looks like cancelling this cycle is the best thing to do.
Take it easy lady, these next few days you should be a queen 
hypns
has really riled me!!
