Didn't know he did that:-) But, I do understand where he is coming from too. Having experienced 2 m/c's and a chemical pregnancy, I had to do testing this time b/c I just didn't want to do that again. I want the best chance available for this one to make it...and further, if there is a problem with my eggs, I darn well want to know it NOW. I am so tired of doing this over and over again and the heartache. So, personally, I'd lean towards the testing. However, I do understand being worried and being impatient, so I understand you going either way with it. In any event, I, too, am super-proud of you for being your own advocate!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323373273366929886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010332933050943413.post-40992208864245389022009-03-21T07:59:00.000-07:002009-03-21T07:59:00.000-07:00Hugs, Polly.

It speaks volumes on what he really feels going into this.<BR/><BR/>I'm really not sure what I would do because of your history with "empty" follicles. Was it a protocol or clinic issue or is this something that could happen again? You will only know follie counts at trigger and even a bunch of follies could mean not many eggs......Not trying to sound negative, but I know you live in reality and this has likely already crossed your detail-oriented head. (-; <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what specifically drew you to CCRM, but I would think back as to why you chose to go there in the first place. Is it to get more eggs or to find out if there is something wrong with them? Likely, both, huh?<BR/><BR/>Crap, lots of rambling and probably not helping at all. I know you will make the right decision for you, sweetie. I'm sorry it's so hard.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010332933050943413.post-80790356388020838742009-03-21T01:33:00.000-07:002009-03-21T01:33:00.000-07:00Yikes.

Higher in the P...But what are the live birth rates? Higher in the PBB/CGH group? You know, Polly, maybe my over-40 cycles can give insight. Bear with me. I didn't have buckets of eggs, but we did make good embies and did get clinically pregnant with both transfers. At my age, the grading criteria and other viewable/measurable characteristics that indicate what might turn into a baby carry next to no weight compared to the simple element that is my age. "Perfect" embies are still, by and large, "bad" embies in the end. But at your age, you likely have a MUCH better chance of benefiting from the testing than most/all in that testing group, no matter how many embryos you make in a given cycle, because odds are that better-quality eggs/eventual embies exist -- you just need extra help sussing them out. (Same with young IFers with high FSH or severe PCOS . . . they just need the right kind of help to win the race.) Your history shows that you easily get pg when any fertilized egg is present . . . which, in a way, mirrors my experience that when an embryo exists, then pregnancy occurs, regardless of said embryo's viability. I believe my body can't reliably weed out the nonviable (those unable to go the distance, I mean) embies. For you, maybe, I hope, and Dr. S thinks he knows, the testing will help circumvent that issue by giving you the best chance. All random unknowns aside, of course.<BR/><BR/>I'm not giving advice, really. I totally get the worry that testing might damage your embies. And I wholeheartedly believe in following your own instincts based on what you know to be true for yourself. But I wanted to chime in with the equally strong belief that sometimes following the RE's thinking is the strategy that stands the best chance for success. <BR/><BR/>These decisions are so trying. I know you will be able to make the call when you need to, and that you're the best one to make it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010332933050943413.post-47828228817562112592009-03-20T17:31:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:31:00.000-07:00Wish I had some words of wisdom, other than go wit...Wish I had some words of wisdom, other than go with your heart.
