Meeting Results? I'm Not Broken.

I had my consultation with my RE this morning. It went about like I planned. I’m not broken. Phew.

She is very optimistic that IVF will work for me. With the exception of the final result, she was very pleased with the cycle and doesn’t feel we need to change anything.

I asked her about my thyroid levels and she said it would probably be a good idea to have it checked again so I’ll go for blood work this week. If it’s normal, we’ll proceed with my current FET schedule. If it’s elevated, she’ll send me back to my endocrinologist for medication adjustment. That leaves the potential to get delayed 30 days. That’s what I get for opening my mouth. Had I not asked, we probably wouldn’t have discussed it at all. Oh well, better to be safe than sorry. If my levels are off, I need to get it fixed.

I also asked about my lining and she said it was around 11mm throughout the entire cycle. Anything over 8 mm is good so that’s definitely not a worry.

She gave me more info on our frozen blasts as well. All 3 were graded as Level 1. I knew 2 were frozen the day of my transfer. The 3rd was frozen the next day and had hatched so that’s even better news! She said, on average, they experience an 85-90% thaw rate so that’s better than I expected. I told her I was expecting one to arrest during thaw and she acted like we have a good chance of ending up with all 3 as viable embryos. We agreed to thaw all 3 and we’ll put back 3 if we can. Might as well increase our odds. My husband’s reaction? “So we just went from potentially having twins to having triplets?!”. Oh, you poor, poor man.
