So my doctor emailed me back after I asked him a few more questions. I sent another email in reply and am waiting on other answers...but in the mean time here is what I found out!
I am at risk of OHSS not just because of my polycystic ovaries but because I am so young. The younger you are the higher the chance and worse the OHSS can be.
A fresh transfer at the time of retrieval can still be successful but the odds go down by 20% =( The doctor says he would only do a fresh transfer if we have enough good quality embryos (and if I was comfortable with it). He does say that there are still lots of successful pregnancies achieved with the use of GnRH agonists instead of HcG. I have emailed him in response that it bothers me to not give my baby the best chance at survival...but that ultimately I'd like to think on it and hear his professional insight.
If we did not do a fresh transfer it would be 6weeks before my body would be calmed down enough to start the 2 weeks of estrogen treatment I would need to get ready for a frozen transfer. Then I would only have to go to Victoria for a few days to go through a frozen transfer! This takes us to about mid June. I should be pregnant before summer vacation !!! =)
I have a prescription of metformin to fill and we both have some lab work to get done.
And again, I just feel this whole journey has been in God's hands and I feel so at ease, especially with my doctor. He must have been hand picked by the man upstairs himself! He really does make me feel so cared for. So I am singing the praises of my heavenly father as always! He has made this journey so much easier!
I tell ya...it feels amazing to have things in motion!! My new year is looking more and more like the new year I had envisioned! I cannot wait =D
God bless you all!
I will keep you posted!
For now, continue to lift us up in prayer. It is greatly appreciated!
Love you all!!
