Re consult

We met with Dr. G today. She explained briefly how our cycle would work. She's a very nice woman. I'm to call on cd 1 and then we get the ball rolling. I've never wanted aunt flo to come so quickly! She's due to arrive on Jan 27. It was surreal to be there.
We have the pre i.vf testing, such as: blood work for both of us, M's swimmer analysis and a sonohystogram for me. She will be ordering blood work to make sure my thyroid level is where it should be. We also discussed the results of my lap (some endo found on my bladder and two polyps in my uterus) and she said she's not too concerned with it.
I asked about their success rate -40%. Live birth rate is about the same. I just wish their was something else other than giving progesterone to make the cycle a successful one.
We are embarking on a huge journey. It's one thing to read blogs and books about it but to be going through it soon is another whole bunch of emotions. I'm ready as I'll ever be. I would always regret not doing it.

Woah some how I missed this post... Um, can I ask why she wasn't worried about those polyps?? My RE removed the one little one that I had because she said that they can significantly reduce the implantation rate. Please ask her about those again, I would hate to have you wait, but honestly doing this more then you need to isn't good either. It might be better to have a hysteroscopy to remove them and then go ahead with a cycle.

If you have any other questions let me know.
