Day 3 Success.
Out of our 18 embabies, 15 are Grade 1 Champs and 3 are Grade 2 or 3. I will be cheering them on like a proud Mama for the next two or three days until they are hopefully ready for the deep freeze.
Dr. Tran brought up a couple options for our FET that we have a little time to think about...well, I guess technically we have the two weeks until I get my period to decide. He said we could choose a natural cycle or a controlled cycle and that we would discuss more when we get closer. My understanding is, with a natural cycle I would not be on any medications (BCP or Lupron) and we would transfer the embryo timed with my natural ovulation.
With a controlled cycle I would start BCP and lupron as I did with IVF instead.
Right now I think we are leaning towards a controlled cycle because it eliminates the possibility of the cycle getting cancelled because ovulation either doesn't happen or because it happens at a totally weird time. He said the costs are about the same, but with a controlled cycle there are medication costs and with a natural there are more ultrasound costs. I think my insurance coverage for Lupron is better than my coverage for more ultrasounds.
Does anyone have experience with either? I would love to know your thoughts.
Grow Babies, grow!!!
