I definitely need the break, as I think i made it clear to myself yesterday that I am in no shape to be doing another stim cycle any time soon.
I'm disappointed that we are not doing a minimal stim, as I had kind of got my head around what a great idea it would be - mainly because:
- I have done 7 Letrozole cycles before, with next to no side effect;
- One cycle resulted in a quick 6 week pregnancy; therefore
- the quality had to have been good enough to have formed an embryo and started to implant at least which is equal to the best IVF result we have had so far;
- no risk whatsoever of OHSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least i can tell myself if this one doesn't work out then we have a next step and its minimal stim - at lost less angst, gotta be worth a shot.
Something else I came to realise at yesterdays appointment is that there still seem to be plenty of options ie. this IVF injection galore/no syneral cycle; minimal stims; and this other one the FS mentioned re LH injections he might be able to persuade the drug company to give me once they see how difficult a patient I am.
I know as much as I say I don't to do IVF again, I know that I can't give up until our FS says we are out of options or we are wasting our time, and I realistically do not want to be doing this another cycle, let alone until I am 30, but there seems to be enough treatment options to try until I reach that age.
I know that all of this and more would be worth the wait if we actually achieve a full term pregnancy and a healthy baby, but as I have said before, I am now no longer willing to do this at any cost, and I feel that just one more bout of OHSS, will have me totally and irreversibly over it.
Oh and just a reminder for my husband when he reads this: remember the FS did say to spoil me - and that was his professional opinion. Wish he'd written a script for it! :)
