I had a fabulous baseline appointment earlier this week.
My FSH was stellar at 7.7. I had 8 measurable follicles and there were smaller ones they didn't measure. The biggest five were between 7mm and 8mm. My protocol was to take half a dose of clomid and then do some boosters of gonal f. It's the same protocol I had last month. I feel like the gonal f compromises my embryo quality. In the cycles I've used it I have made day 6 blasts. My best mini cycle was just half a dose of clomid and I made two perfect quality day 5 blasts. I had my doctor call me to discuss my concerns. Basically, he knows I'm being reasonable and is leaving it up to me to decide to do the gonal f, just the half tab of clomid, or substitute the gonal f for a little more clomid.
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
I'm leaning towards doing the extra clomid. I'll see how I feel this weekend when it's time for a booster.
I also ran my plan of doing a transfer on my next cycle and he said that would be just fine. He told me I could do a transfer this cycle if I really wanted to and my lining cooperates with the clomid. I thanked him for the option, but declined. I just don't want to be second guessing myself for transferring an embryo during a stimulation cycle.
Fingers crossed and lots of prayers for some high quality blasts this cycle!
