Pulling the trigger and taking no prisoners (Fresh vs. Frozen)

So I've touched on this in a prior blog I think from after the ivf seminar. Dr Loy said frozen has better implantation rates that fresh. His theory is that fresh may fail more often b/c of all the hormones that have been stimulated to create a ton of eggs for future family planning. With the frozen cycles the embryo is placed back in when the woman's body is back to normal. Why am I telling y'all about this again?

My estrogen levels are through the roof! Because of this we will most likely freeze everything and skip the fresh cycle completely to get my body back to normal before embryo transfer. I'd mentioned asking the doc if we could go that route initially but I never did b/c we wanted to follow his suggestions every step of the way. Selfishly I'd like to just get that embryo in me ASAP just to get it over with but that doesn't sound like the most practical route now. What's a few more weeks right? My goal is to do what has the best chance of working. We don't have disposable $$ to just throw around. 

All of this will be confirmed tomorrow at post-op. that's right I said it! We are finally to post-op! I take my trigger shot (lupron) tonight at 10pm sharp. Tomorrows visit they'll check my blood to make sure the shot was absorbed properly and we'll sign paperwork. Ill be put under anesthesia so there are consent forms and protocol ill need to be instructed on. Monday morning (yes, April fools day) we go in for the retrieval at 10am. So exciting! We'll know by the time we leave the office how many eggs they collect and then we pray pray pray for the embryos to form perfectly. Also now that we won't do a transfer 3-5 days later we'll pray that as many as possible make it to day five (in ivf days retrieval is day 0 so day five would be Saturday 4/6) and then all will be frozen. More will be revealed as its revealed to us (tomorrow). 

A part of me is bummed that my estrogen is going to prevent a fresh cycle attempt but I'm resolved to think that this small detour will prevent great heartache and get us to success just a mere few weeks later. My heart is still calm. I am feeling a little more stress as the follicle stims are coming to a close and each step is being crossed off the list. Nervous anticipation no doubt.
