The nurse said we should be able to continue but most likely a "freeze all" cycle depending on blood test results. They can trigger me with Synarel which is safer so another blood test Wednesday and if all good pick up with be on Friday... Fingers crossed
Thanks me4ever and looking good for you, I'm keeping everything crossed for you
Juniper, absolutely what I thought, would love to have transfer done but will take freeze all over canceling any day! Good luck for you too - FX for a successful outcome for you
Faye, there are some who recommend FETs over fresh transfers anyway. The idea is that the fresh cycle puts a lot of stress on the body, which could lead to sub-optimal conditions. They think that letting the body recover from the stress of the stims and EPU can produce better outcomes. It's not necessarily a good option for those of us who don't get many eggs (because the losses associated with freezing/thawing become significant), but if I were responding like you I'd be quite happy to take that approach, even if there were no risk of OHSS.
That makes sense Juniper, they said if the estrogen levels are under control they'll still do a transfer but it's highly unlikely anyway. I think of the 30 follicles some were still only small so there'll more than likely be about 16 and of those they'll be happy if even only half of them made it to freeze... Oh and a bonus for me was they asked me if I was happy to go to Bacchus Marsh for EPU instead of Ballarat as it would be completely free - saves me about $900.00!
Yes I'm very grateful for that silver lining Joe just got my blood results back and my estrogen level is 8,000. I don't know how that compares to what it should be but at this point we're still going ahead with freeze all. Half dose of gonal f for next 2 days and blood test Wed morning. If all goes well trigger Wed night and pick up Friday. Just taking it a day at a time which I've learnt is all you can do in all of this.
Just a quick one from me. I've been in hospital since last Thursday with a 4x5cm abscess on my left ovary and chocolate cysts that burst on both ovaries (aka endometrioma). I've also had a bad infection with fevers and been on really strong IV ABs.
They are letting me go home this afternoon. Yippee!!!!
I am still pretty week and on two oral ABs. I need to have a follow up US in a week.
TTC is off for the next few weeks I guess. Mind you I have pretty much given up anyway.
Hope everyone is well. I'm a bit lost as to where everyone is at in their cycle.

Wow N2L - you poor thing... I suppose that was the bad pain you had, about last time you were posted? You've had a rough time there. Sending you big hugs and healing vibes! Rest up! xx
