Yeah, well I guess I should have waiting a little before posting that last post because my RE has since called.
She actually called me herself when she saw on my chart that I was doing a 3rd IUI while waiting for the IVF consultation. She said she doesn't want me to do another IUI because of my response the last two times.
Basically, with a low dosage of the medication follicles grow but very pokey and as the medication is increased they grow TOO fast so there is no happy medium and that worries her with an IUI. However, having many many follicles (as I've been producing) is great for IVF!! She says I'm an excellent candidate for IVF and is pushing me through ASAP to get the consultation scheduled so that I'm not on BCP for too long. Also, she said that given the shape of my uterus (arcuate aka "heart shaped") that they would only be doing a SET (single embryo transfer). That should make Jim happy that we would have zero chance for multiples :)
So then Friday, I go in for cd3 bloodwork and provided everything looks ok I'll be starting the BCP and gearing up for my first IVF cycle. Holy hell I'm getting nervous!!!
