Things suck!
Dr. T is out sick so I saw Dr. Wong today. He's wonderful! Completely overbooked with his and Dr. T's patients and he spent so much time with me explaining everything. Basically I haven't gotten my period bc I have no lining! He said it's like 3mm lol! and my ovaries are super duper quiet.. Like way too suppressed. I only have one follicle that's 11 and he could only see one other tiny one! He said that sometimes more sprout out with the stim meds but as of now, my ovaries are sleeping the cycle away :( I was worried about this and I knew suppressing was a gamble but now I don't think I want to start up a cycle this month. We won't be transferring but I don't want to risk only getting 1 blast and I only have two IVFs left on my insurance coverage. What would you do? He seemed concerned bc he said a girl with my amh should get a way higher AFC. The sucky thing is that Dr. T is out so I don't really know what to do! Help, girls! Should I just sit out this cycle?

Re: Things suck!
I have no advice for you, but I'm sorry you're dealing with this!
Is it a decision that you would need to make immediately, or can you wait to speak with Dr. T?

Re: Things suck!
Im sorry you are going through this too......If has such an effect on everything- I don't really know much about IVF yet so Im really no help but I also had a Low AFC when the RE looked last week but he said he wanted to re check it as this can change - stupid question but doesn't the AFC have to be above a certain number in order to proceed with IVF?

Re: Things suck!
UGHHHHHH!!!!!
I would wait this cycle out.
When I did my IVF, I did BCP for 2 weeks instead of 1 and they believe that's why I was such a slow responder. If I did it for the 1 week they originally wanted, I may have gotten a better/faster response. I stayed on longer because I had to have surgery for my kidney stone in the middle of everything.
If you only have 2 IVFs left, I would wait until you are in a position to get the best response out of them.

Re: Things suck!
I'm sorry
I agree...I think I would wait a cycle for the IVF, especially since he thinks you are too suppressed and you have a limit with your ins.

Re: Things suck!
So they called and said my levels are fabulous and that I should start stims Thursday but I am opting to speak with Dr. T tomorrow and get his opinion before we start.

I just sent him a long, crazy email so once he speaks with Dr. Wong tomorrow, he will let me know what to do. For my last IVF, I had 9 antral follicles by day 3 so to have one and a half this cycle is scaring the hell out of me!

Re: Things suck!
I would definitely wait. It does sound like you were over suppressed. For my most recent IVF, I switched to en estrogen priming patch. I wasn't on anything for suppression. It yielded the highest # of eggs retrieved, highest # of mature eggs, and best fertilization ever. I think BCP played a negative role in my previous cycles.

Re: Things suck!
He decided to supress me because I get cysts and tend to have dominant follicles. It's a gamble to do that to a girl with DOR but he's aiming for better quality as opposed to quantity. I just don't want to spend all of that on IVF and yield only one follicle. DH's sperm condition needs as many eggs as possible to increase our chances of fertilization. I just wish things went easy. Just trusting in the bigger plan up there.

Sorry you are dealing with this. Uhh sucks. I would speak to Dr. T tomorrow and see what he thinks. Express your concerns. I know it sucks sitting out but you want the best cycle possible. I wish I would have canceled IVF #1 but I didn't know any better back then.
I hope you get some answers tomorrow!

Re: Things suck!
Can you go back on Thursday and have another sono with dr.t? I remember for one of my cycles he made me go back a week later and my afc had gone up so we started stimming then. Can you start the stims a little later? If your afc is normally more I would personally wait it out.

This may be a stupid question, but . . . Since AF was a little later than you expected, is it possible that your AFC is just a little bit behind schedule and might catch up?

Is there a possibility of doing ICSI so that you have a better fertilization rate?
Good luck!

This is exactly what I was thinking. I just got AF now and they were expecting me to be cd 3 today. I explained that I didn't get AF yet but they still expected to see follicles. I guess I should have them anyway? In any case, my teeny 3mm lining is killing me right now with the worst cramps lol

Girl, we are beyond ICSI helping us unfortunately. Our fert rate will still be problematic with it. Unfortunately only 1 egg fertilized from it last time.

I was thinking about what you wrote. I would think they would want AF to come and then see you on the real CD 2 before making any decisions.

Re: Things suck!
They told me to come in for baseline with or without AF so I was so confused. I'll mention this all to Dr. T tomorrow and see what he says.
