So, visit to the hematologist, Dr. P, went about as expected. When I get pregnant, I'll have to give myself shots of heparin everyday. She doesn't want me to use any estrogen in this process, which is close to impossible given my issues. Speaking of issues.....
I had a bit of a crisis of confidence this weekend when my latest FSH results came in on Friday. After 5 days of clomid I'm at 22.4. Not good. It really shook my confidence, but I have my positive mojo back! There are LOTS of stories online about miracle babies born to high FSHers like me. Fortunately, baby doc has worked with and achieved success with lots of high FSHers. In the meantime, I'm going to resume acupuncture, start wheat grass juice every other day, 25 mg DHEA 3x/day, yoga and meditation.
Back to the estrogen thing....considering it can cause blood clots, Dr. P's nervous about me using it at all. Baby doc will confer with her to determine the best course of treatment for me. My guess is they will go ahead with any estrogen priming, but perhaps have me on heparin before I start taking it. So, YAY! I may get to be a human pin cushion for 10 months instead of 9!
On another note, I now have an IVF buddy in England! We have very similar medical histories and will begin this process around the same time. Will be fun to share details with someone going thru all the same madness.
Official consult with baby doc is tomorrow at 2pm! VERY EXCITED!!!!!
