Today I feel like total shit. I am starting to wonder how long I can bleed like this before it becomes a problem. This morning I thought that it had slowed down a bit but after being on my feet for a while, I was reminded how bad it really was. I have decided to stop the Viagra...I need to listen to what my gut is telling me. Since the Viagra increases blood flow to the endometrium, and the endometrium is what is bleeding, I thought I would give it 48 hours to see if it made a difference. My RE asked me on Friday what my gut said, but I couldn't answer him so he told me that we would compromise and I could take it twice a day instead of four times. No matter what happens, I will start the Viagra back up Monday morning. I also just realized that my ER will no longer be on Friday since I didn't respond to stims as planned, so now I have that much longer for my lining to thicken up and for the bleeding to stop.
I have been running through all of the possibilities and this is what I have come up with:
- If I don't respond to the increased dose of medication, my cycle will be canceled.
- If I do respond and end up with a lot of eggs but the bleeding continues I will go for ER and if the bleeding stops afterwards I will go ahead with ET and if it doesn't I will freeze the embryos and do a FET the following month. If there are more than six good looking embryos on Day3 I will proceed with CGH. Less than that, I will not...I actually don't think that CNY will let me.
- If I respond to the increased meds but only end up with 3 or 4 lead follicles, I will convert to an IUI and not waste a paid for IVF cycle.
