Dashka - he'll be back for 3 weeks. He does rotations of 9 weeks away working & 3 weeks at home. Hehe - I don't think I'd be able to hold out till Thursday.
Squid - hang in there! You can do this!
Dwrgi - hehe dog hugs are awesome! You'll be pleased to know that I've just finished a nice healthy lunch, am drinking plenty and am currently lazing around on my bed watching tv... though I am a bit bored! lol I'm planning on not doing an awful lot until the implantation process should be complete. I'm curious where this 'Embryo Glue' medium that they used for my transfer is going to do its job. Thank you for looking out for me! Big hugs!
:wave: Kinerie and welcome! I'm also a high FSHer as you can see in my signature. Personally I would 1) do your day 3 FSH test a couple/ few more times to see if it's always that high or if it fluctuates up and down. If it's doing the latter, possibly do the AFC on a month when it's lower. I didn't actually have an AFC when I got my high FSH result so I can't compare, but I did after I got my lower score, though not on CD3. My RE put me on bcps for two weeks first and then did it. No idea what the significance of that is though I'm afraid. 2) If you're willing to do it, find a different Dr who will work with you to try IVF even if you only have 1 follicle. At the end of the day 'all' you need is one decent follicle to produce one decent egg. And you won't know if that's possible if you don't try. And if you do go down that route, insist on ICSI as well so you're not taking any chances with the sperm no matter how good they are. My RE said we'd do ICSI as although DHs SA came back perfect, they can struggle to get into tough, old eggs like mine. He did say it more tactfully than that. As they say, the only way to truly assess your egg quality is to do a cycle of IVF, but it is a very expensive way to find out.
Dear Maniti, thank you so much for your detailed and helpful response. I have been told outright that I am not a candidate for IVF, I guess because of the number of follicle (s) I have each month, they need 2-4 to work with..My doctor - is one of the best doc in the state, so I have no reason not to trust his judgement. However, sitting back and doing well, nothing really, isn't something I can easily digest. We will be doing unmedicated IUI this weekend/Monday so, I think, I will take your advice and discuss possibility of having IVF with only one follicle. I guess, have to wait and see what is going to happen next month..Also, I feel like an idiot here but what is AFC? A follicle count? When they do CD3 tests, they do blood test to check FSH and ultrasound where all follicles are visible..Last month there were 2, with lower FSH of 17.2, but this month - because of only 1 follicle FSH of course was higher - 22.2...Will def. discuss the possibility of IVF with only 1 egg when we go for our IUI, I didn't realise that anybody would even consider doing it! Thanks so-so much for that info and for all the support!
