First of all, I want to send a long over due congrats to Christine and Tracee! yay! way to go!
Advice is needed for me this go. This cycle is not going too well. I am on day 9 of 450 follistim (that's a lot!) and microdose lupron. As of today, I only have 4 follicles. I am expecting to hear from my RE any minute about what to do next. He is thinking I will have ER this Friday. My question is "should I?". Due to $ issues and insurance, I'm thinking that this is our last time trying. Do I risk it or do I cancel myself and hope for more next time? I am torn because I don't have a good history of responding well and am on the max dose of meds. On the other hand, this is it. Do I risk it with my 4 follicles? My RE said today that he didn't think I'd ever be a very good responder (sigh). He also said he'd rather have a 36 year old (me) with 4 eggs than a 42 year old with 10 eggs. I don't know what to do. I know it only takes 1 good egg, but of course, I was really hoping for more. Any thoughts, advice, stories, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
