So says the Doctor.

Well I had my followup with the doctor today. He is convinced it was just a fluke. A normal early miscarriage that alot of woman get and that it has nothing to do with my PCOS at all. He said the high miscarrige rate is due to bad eggs and he claims I don’t have bad eggs, he said my eggs are fine, wonderful in fact. (roll eyes) He IS going to do some extra tests though. Another uterine study, we are going to retest my insulin levels and a few other things. He does NOT think we need karotyping yet nor an endometrial function test. He really wanted us to do a FET cycle and we declined. I am still not convinced those embryos are “good” even though he says they are. We discussed IUI and he said that we would have no problem trying that. He said my eggs are fine, Gary’s sperm are fine and they have NO problem fertilizing the eggs on their own. So after my next period (beginning of August or so) we will start BCP and then around the middle of August or so we will start supressing with Lupron. He said having pcos I NEED that Lupron to control my LH levels during stimulation and apparantly that Lupron basically negates the PCOS hormones which is interesting and I didn’t know that. So we are looking at beginning to middle of September for the first IUI. We will try that two or three times and if that doesn’t work then in January we will do the last fresh IVF. So that is the plan.
Today I actually thought I might be ovulating. I have been having a little twinginess in the left ovary area and a little ewcm happening and the doctor DID say it is possible for the medication affects to carry over a bit so I bought some ovulation predictor sticks. Yeah right, not only was there no dark line, there was no line at all, so there goes that idea. Today is day 14 so if I was gonna do it, it would be like now! I will test for a couple more days just cuz I have the sticks, but not holding my breath.
Gary had his stress test today and everything was fine with that. Next Tuesday is the echocardiogram.
And that is all the news that is fit to tell!
