Pippa: It's not great news. Friday I went for a scan and it turns out my ovaries are not responding well to the stimulation drugs. They found only 3 small follicles had developed on my left ovary and that my right ovary had not reponded at all. It's a huge blow as I really wasn't expecting to fail so soon. Can I really be in the 10% (according to clinic stats) that have their cycles cancelled at this early stage?
I have continued taking the Gonal F injections for a further 3 days in the hope that those follicles grow to a size which are usable, however, with only 3 potential eggs, the chances of success are now greatly diminished.
Tomorrow we will know if it's worth continuing. I am still awake at 1am thinking about what will be.
I think Jack & I have both realised that we have put too much stock into this thing working. I mean, buying kiddie wallpaper and looking at cots- what was I thinking?! So stupid.
I had to tell Jack about the scan on Friday on the phone while he was at work. My Sister couldn't believe I'd gone to the appointment by myself, but I really hadn't expected bad news. Poor Jack told me he nearly cried at his desk.
I can' t really think of anything to say. Tomorrow will decide. If we have to wait and start again, then that's what we;ll do. Meantime, I will try to sleep and not dream of storks.
Goodnight.
