Started spotting late last night. Nothing more yet this morning, but today's test shows no progression from yesterday's.
I'm going to call it as chemical #4. I'm so sorry little emrbyo(s). :(
Now the interesting question - my last treatment cycle, I had a strong BFP the afternoon of 12 days post trigger, followed by a stark BFN the evening of 14 days post trigger. CD1 was 17 days post trigger, but by 18 days post trigger, I still had enough hcg in my system to prevent me from cycling again. So, do I risk the $570 it would cost for a baseline appointment this time, or do I just take a cycle off? I think I want to schedule a regroup to see if we should change anything - viagra or acupuncture for my lining, autoimmune protocol, etc.
First of all, I’m so sorry. 😔
ReplyDeleteMy vote would be a cycle off to regroup and talk about all that has happened and next steps. There’s both a concerning disconnect between your RE and their staff as well as confusion over the medication they prescribe. In addition, I would discuss RPL panels to assess autoimmune and progesterone. I know the push back will be “it’s likely bad luck” but I don’t buy that and so advocate to get everyone on the same page as you. After all, you are the one paying for all of this.
Agree with this. I've actually spent the last two weeks researching the two other RE groups in my metro. Sadly, neither has better reviews than my current clinic, and their SART statistics are dismal. While I've been through all the RPL testing, plus karyotyping, and discussed my short luteal phase with my current RE (hence the Endometrin), I haven't talked autoimmune. I think it's time. It's also time to see what her reaction is to feedback about the nursing staff's performance.
