A Facebook friend of mine has a similar pituitary disorder and I had asked her what her IVF protocol was for her kids. She mentioned she did an EPP (estrogen priming protocol) which I thought was interesting and maybe that would be able to help me.
I emailed my RE and asked her to call....and like the awesome RE that she is, she called early afternoon. I told her about my friend and asked if that would be something that she thought to consider for me? Apparently that is only used in poor responders or DOR (diminished ovarian reserve) and since I'm neither then an EPP wouldn't really do me much good. I suppose, thinking on it, my friend said she had NO hormones whereas my pituitary is somewhat functional and there are SOME hormones floating around my body.
Ok...so the real kicker is this....my RE tells me that her and 7 other doctors are getting together next Thursday and they're reviewing my case. I'm apparently a unique and interesting case to the staff. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand its pretty cool that I'm so outside the box that it takes the whole staff to collaborate. On the other hand....OMG I WANT A BABY!!! On the plus side, this future child will be spoiled horribly for all the issues he/she gave us to get him/her!!! and they might even have their name in some published medical studies. Now wouldn't that be a cool "Show and Tell" for kindergarten??? LOL
Anywho....depending on the results of Thursdays meeting I may not even be put on the Lupron at all. I'm going to have to wait until Friday and email her for further direction. Ooooh the suspense :)
I totally want this shirt------->
