My period came early. Just what I need to throw me completely off schedule. I haven’t had time to talk to my FS about not doing the flare again yet.
So I am day 2 tomorrow and still don’t know what my drug orders are. I went for a blood test this morning as AF was nice enough to show her face first thing and ‘there is no pregnancy hormone present’.
You don’t say? 
I’m counting down the days until my last try at IVF. Hopefully I will start next cycle. My FS friend didn’t follow through due to personal issues so I have taken on a FS who is known to be good with ‘over 40’s’. I really liked Dr M but he just seemed too conservative for my last try.
This time, with Dr T, I am doing a flare cycle. Starting with 15iu of Lucrin (Lupron) on cd2 along with 450iu of Gonal-f. He says he doesn’t consider me a poor responder - he has a different protocol for that. Scheduled co-ordinator meeting is on Tuesday the 8th and that’s the day my period is due. I’m also looking at PGD which ’unofficially’ lifts the success rate to 20%. My clinic’s error rate is 6-10% which is much lower than most in the States due to the more rigid controls we have on who can handle embryos here.
I am finding that the longer this goes on, the more accepting I am of the fact that it is my age that is causing all my issues – and therefore more accepting that it may never happen. Once again though I’d like to feel I gave it everything.
