I am currently in the midst of my second IVF. I am convinced my new clinic is compromised of a bunch of idiots. I know...I am not being very positive at the moment.
Protocol: Microdose Lupron Flare
Meds:
10 units of Lupron (AM and PM)
3 vials of menopur (PM)
225 units of Gonal F (PM)
23 Units Saizen (AM)
ColQ10
Vitamin D
DHEA
Prenatal
Baby Aspirin
Lovenex (will start after retrieval to replace the aspirin)
Folgard
Day 3 labs:
FSH: 9.5
AMH: .86
9 antra follicles
Not great labs at all!
After Day 2 Stims:
Estrogen: 139
After Day 5 stims:
Estrogen: 560
Follicles: 5 in the 14-15mm range, 2 around 13mm, 1 in the 8mm range
I just don't understand what is going on with my body. Three years ago I had 20+ follies at this time. My doctor also has me on a very high dose of meds which I don't understand. I always thought slow and steady was the way to go. I feel like my follies are pretty large for only being on stims for 5 days.
I have already had a phone consult with Dr. Surrey at CCRM. That is how pessimistic I am about my situation. And the husband will be taking a new job to help pay for all of the out of pocket expenses we will be paying if we go to CCRM. I hate this shit. I truly hate that some of us have to go through this. And on top of it we have to deal with freaking idiots for doctors. I miss my clinic in Chicago. They were amazing. Clearly Kansas is not a hub for infertile women seeking out treatment.
I am done bitching. Until next time.
