Sunbeam - That's a great way to look at things. Take the pressure off yourself - and with movies and yummy food - even better!!
Andie - I honestly don't know how much they can tell from the biopsies. Our PGD discussions have been quite specific to the genetic condition we carry and how they will test for that. Having said that, I have asked them to do chromosomal screening also. I figured, the information is there, they are already studying the cell/s - why not find out as much as we can?! I hope they can answer your questions about chromosomal abnormalities. Update us after tomorrow's appt.
I'm on 150 of Gonal-f daily and 'one click' of the Ovidrel pen every 3 days (same pen as used for trigger but one click instead of the whole thing). The reason for the Ovidrel is because my body doesn't readily ovulate on its own. I believe the Ovidrel mimics LH which my body needs help with. The cycle that was just ended was an assessment cycle to see what my body is doing - day 19 and my levels were all still low so they ended the cycle. I don't have an EPU date as yet - I think it will be a case of seeing what my body does, how it responds and then knowing closer to the time. I am so so nervous that my body is not going to cooperate with this. What if I only produce a couple of follies?! Nervous, nervous... It didn't help that the nurse talking us through everything kept saying, 'wow, you guys keep on losing numbers, don't you?'. She was talking about how many follies we could start with and how many follies/embies we may lose along the way. Thanks, Nurse. Super helpful...
