DOR 6/4 Check-In

[lemonliz]

I'm cross-posting this because there are many of you who haven't moved, and that's okay! 

This is a check in for anyone dealing with being labeled a poor responder, sometimes called diminished ovarian reserve but also called pof or poi. All are welcome here no matter where you are along your journey or what kind of treatment you're seeking.

Thanks for the check in, lemonliz I hope estrogen is treating you well.

We will not be doing IUI in June. MH will be oot on what will be the most likely days for it, so. When cd1 comes, I'll make an appointment to discuss EPP and follistim for IUI in July.

I'm also trying to plan a vacation for November. WDW would be the easiest and probably cheapest option. But, I'm really wanting to fly into Savannah and road trip Georgia & Carolinas.

Do it!! Savannah is beautiful. The sea islands are beautiful. You'll love it!

****** Savannah is nice. Charleston SC is also nice. I would check, but I don't think you would have issues with restaurants not being open. The weather is still mild in November.

My Dr.'s office called me today and said the Dr. wants to see me this Thursday. I wasn't planning on going back but I thought it was strange he wanted to see me so soon after the cycle. Normally it takes 3-6 weeks to get an appointment with him. I don't think we will be cycling again. I just can't take anymore physically or emotionally.

Cross posted on the other place too: The ER went pretty well, they retrieved 6 eggs. We'll get a call from the embryologist later this morning to hear how many fertilized. We're doing ICSI, so hopefully all of them!

I had a rough recovery from the anesthesia though. After we got home, but while I was still a tad loopy, I got on GrubHub and ordered food. H is still kinda laughing at me for that, and I don't blame him! I still haven't been able to eat it though, because before it got here the nausea set in. I basically lived on Gatorade, water, rice and matzah for the rest of the day. I'm feeling way better today, so hopefully with lots more liquids and some more rest I'll be back to normal soon.

Big hugs, lillee

any idea if there will be plenty to do and restaurants open in November? We had minor issues with NE in off season, with top restaurants on our list being closed. I bought Fod.or's guide to GA & Carolinas, it should be here Wednesday.

No way, it's not a seasonal place like summer vacation spots in the NE! You'll be able to do all the stuff you like, for cheaper too, and it won't be sweltering.

Baseline was this morning! My AFC was a really nice even 10. I can't ask for better. Not from these old ovaries.

I am kind of confused about what happens next because a) the financial coordinator hasn't gotten any of my paperwork together, b) I have to wait until Monday for a nurse coordination appointment and c) Cigna specialty pharmacy is talking about getting back to me at the end of next week about a shipping date? Like, everyone is taking their sweet time and my ovaries are over here like "mkay boys, we got our good lipstick on and we powdered our noses, we are ready." These ovaries are temperamental. Don't fuck with them! Let's play ball.

Anyhow, I'm not complaining LOL. It's just very very weird by comparison to paying cash.
