The embryologist called this morning to say that all three embryos are dividing, we have two 3-cells, and one 2-cell. We are on for a 3-day transfer tomorrow. Hubby and I have to make the big decision as to how many to transfer. He's thinking percentages and odds, I'm thinking of avoiding complications of multiples. Hopefully we can come up with a compromise that works all the way around.
A couple commenters asked about the protocol I've been on. I don't know the exact term, as I'm really bad with keeping terms straight, but here are the meds I've been on:
DHEA, 75 mg, since 1/10/09
Bravelle, 300 IU, day 3
Menopur, 300 IU, day 3
Saizen, 0.8 ml, day 3
Ganirelix, 225 IU, day 5
Dexamethasone, day 3
Folic acid, 1 mg, day 1
Multi-vitamin (not prenatal) day 1
Prenatals up to day 1
Since trigger on Friday, I've added:
Medrol, 64 mg (the nastiest tasting pills I've ever taken)
Doxycyclene, 2x day, for 5 days, including day before ER and starting again day after ER
Baby aspirin
Folic acid
Multi-vitamin
PIO, 50 ml in a.m.
HCG booster on 5/26, and 2 other dates I don't have in front of me right now
I hope this helps the other poor responders out there.
7 road signs:
fingers crossed for a sticky eggie for you!
Could you just transfer them all for me?!?!? Pretty pleaseeeeeeeeee!!! I'd be terrified to freeze any b/c I'd think the one little embie might not survive the thaw. (((HUGS))) Hope you come to a conclusion that fits your needs.
Good, good, good, good luck!
Thanks very much for the protocol information!!! Wishing you the very best (and hoping you transfer all three!!)
Thanks for the protocol info. I'm new to the world of poor response. Good luck with your choice!
