On Wednesday we had our big appointment with Dr. D. Stephen ended up not being able to get off so my Mom went with me so I had an extra set of ears. Dr. D said that after the doctors reviewed the data they decided that we should defiantly try IVF again. He felt like everything went really well over all and with a few changes he thinks it will be successful.
First we went over all the data. He let me know that next cycle we will start out with 3 bottles of bravelle and 1 bottle of menopur. He said since my body did way better when they upped the dose towards the end of my stim cycle and responded a lot better that is the way to go. He also said that out of the 22 eggs 13 were good, 6 were defective (can't remember the right word), and the 3 were immature. Next cycle he is going to add in one extra medicine just to try and get more healthy eggs. That means that hopefully there will not be 6 defective eggs. The next thing we talked about was Stephen. He is worried about his count dropping so we are going to start freezing sperm right away. Stephen stopped taking medicine 2 weeks ago that they think may cause his sperm count to drop. So hopefully that is what is doing it. We will find out in the next 2 months if going off the meds made a difference. He also said that his count on the day of my retrieval could have just been a fluke. (We would love for that to be the case).
Last I talked to Dr. D. about our plan just to see how he felt about it. We let him know that we are going to go ahead and adopt and go back to IVF next summer. He thought that was a great idea :) So that is what we are doing. I thought I would be sad talking about my failed IVF while we were there. But honestly I am so excited about adopting that it was much easier than I thought. So until next time Love and Baby Dust!!!
