Hi Vinwee, Baby and Yve,
I am back from my business trip and everything was fine! Exhausted, though!
Otherwise, met Dr. F last saturday for the review. His advice is to try for another cycle if we are ready 1) emotionally 2) financially and 3) physically! He said he will change to Gonal F and that cycle would then cost more as Gonal F is more expensive than puregon. He said he would check more carefully (!) and will try to pick the best cycle based on my BT. So, if FSh/LH ratio is not great, would need to postpone to next cycle until he is comfortable with the ratio. He also said he may increase the dosage of pregnyl to help the eggs mature but then, this will increase the risks of OHSS..
Hubby and I have not really discussed this..still have to wait for 2 cycles if want to proceed. already used my medisave, so it would be cash..he estimated 18k...I am not sure whether we want to proceed...i am not really sure how I can improve my egg quality...plus, we have male issue which makes it even harder/challenging...
I think I can take the physical and financial strain but I am not sure whether I am ready for another emotional drain...
Baby
Really glad to read that you have 2 great embryos. Please stay positive. If your bloatedness is better, may be you could call Dr to ask whether you should resume with the pregnyl jab. It is supposed to support the pregnancy.
I did my BT 13 days after ET (after I asked for it) but mine was a day 2 transfer. I think you can start HPT at home early next week if you have not taken the pregnyl jab.
Vinwee,
I think most of us are "dreaming" about MS. So, enjoy them! I guess MS= baby growing well.
Joyy,
It must really have been a tough journey but your health is really more important. You have definitely done what is best for you and now, just look forward to your FET. I also have PCOS but my egg quality is an issue. Were your FSH/LH ratio ok? May I know how old you are? In case you have not read the earlier thread, I failed IVF last May with Dr. F. Most likely due to poor egg quality. Although I had 21 follicles, only 7 were matured eggs, only 6 fertilised and only 3 made it to Day 2...and quality was average..lots of fragmentation.
Dreamababy,
I think you may want to seek a second opinion from Dr. F. before you proceed with another cycle. After seeing Dr. F, then you can decide on whether you would prefer to stay with TMC or move to Dr F. It would be very useful that you bring along all your reports when you see Dr. F so that he can evaluate you.
I was previously with Dr. Cheng many years ago. I also think he is a nice Dr. I think you would also like Dr. F. Although I did not succeed with Dr. F (yet!), I wish I found him earlier...I am now 37...Another plus is that the waiting time for Dr. F is short. So, have to book him long in advance...
I also did IVM with Dr. Cheng but there were no eggs in the follicles. What about you? That was many years ago..so, I must have been the pioneer and hope you had greater results.
Let me know if you need any other info.
Yve,
How are you?
