Hi everyone, well today is CD3 and I had my follicle study, FSH and e2 done today. My follicle study didn't look so great. The antral follicles were minimal. My RE is concerned with decreasing ovarian reserve. My FSH level confirms it. It was 13 ( up from 9.6)and my e2 is 16. We are going ahead with Gonal F (225U x3 days then 150u for 3 days). I guess he wants to see if I respond at all. I will have a repeat U/S on Monday along with a e2 level. He "hopes for 5-8 eggs. I don't think he feels that we will get them. My age (39) works against us as well. I guess monday is a very big day, because it will determine my path. With that being said, I think that I will be taking a little break from the boards. I may lurk here and there, but I need to process this information, and focus on my mental and physical health. I have always been convinced that I will have my baby, and to think that I may never hold my child or smell the sweetness of their skin is devastating. I wish BFP's for everyone, and I will check back in.
