Update - first follie scan and mock transfer update

richmond_girl · #1 February 4th, 2009, 06:02 PM

I had my first follie scan this morning since starting my "stims" on Sat. My RE was very disappointed in my progress

Seriously - can anything else go wrong??? I am so friggin tired of running into roadblock after roadblock - not just on this cycle but throughout our entire TTC journey

I know, I am whining and I should feel very fortunate that we can even do IVF. But I'm just so tired of everything being so, so hard.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, here's my update. After 4 days of stimming on a VERY high dosage, I've only produced 8-10 follies and none are close to being mature. My RE said for my age/size he expected much more. Plus my lining was very thin

My RE didn't increase my dosage but said I need to come back on Saturday for more bloodwork and another ultrasound.

We also did my mock transfer today. On top of my poor Follistim response, my RE noticed my uterus is so tipped that he practically has to cut at a 90 degree angle to transfer my eggs back into the right place. When he was doing the mock transfer, I had to literally push down on my uterus as hard as I could to try and straighten it out for the catheter. I thought I was going to die, it hurt so much. And I'm sorry but I have very little faith in a process that requires the patient to physically try and shift her reproductive organs in order for it to work

I just feel like a broken freak right now...grrr. And I feel like I let my DH down. After everything we've been through with his MFI, we just took it for granted that everything on my end would be a "given". Apparently not.

Sigh. Another long day.
