WTF appointment scheduled - a few qs
DH and I are going to my WTF appointment on Wednesday morning. Is there anything I should ask besides the following?- Is there a specific reason we had so few follicles and only one egg retrieved? Was it the drug cocktail? How will you change our protocol for the next cycle given that I've responded well to other drugs (Clomid) in the past? Is there a reason I produce many more follicles than I do eggs?
- Can we begin our next cycle soon?
- Do you recommend getting another sample from DH? Can we look into TESE given the issues we've had in the past?
- Do you still recommend transfer of one blast next time? Why didn't this one take?
- Are there any blood tests you recommend redoing?
- Has our diagnosis changed from unexplained to something else?
And for those of you who have had a period after progesterone, what should I be expecting and when? I assume AF will arrive in a day or two, and Dr. Google tells me to basically expect the apocalypse of periods. True?
Thanks for reading. Enjoy looking at my new shoes that I bought after my BFN HPT:
Oh, and my new amazing gif in my siggy. ;-)
TTC #1 since Feb. '12. dx: "unexplained" IF
After 2 shitty IVF cycles and 1 loss at 6+2 (EDD 11/7/14), DH and I are pursuing DIA.
11/17/2014 - ACTIVE AND WAITING!
Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update) 3T<3

Created by MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter
TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermB/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Nothing extra to add for the questions, but similar to nfp, AF was a little heavier but nothing alarming.
Hoping the appointment goes well and you get some good answers.
I love the shoes!
I have nothing to add, but hope your appt goes well and you get the answers you are looking for. Hugs to you!

Cycle 8,9,10 - 50mg Clomid - BFN
As far as your next period, it really won't have so much to do with the progesterone, but really the fact that you worked for a long time to build a nice lining. Perhaps a lining thicker than during an unmedicated cycle. My post BFN IVF period actually wasn't anything different than normal. We didn't go directly into another cycle (for various reasons) but the second period after that was much heavier with more cramps than normal.
dx: Unexplained IF (mild MFI)
TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN
