Change of plan.

Dr. Sunshine called me tonight to tell me that he recommends I go through with ER on Thursday, but then freezing whatever has successfully fertilized (not doing the transfer) and trying again on another cycle. Apparently the delay in hearing back from them today was due to having to re-run my blood work numbers - my progesterone has been going up a little too much, with my estrogen not going up quite enough, and apparently this combination reduces your chances of succesful implantation. He basically feels we can do better with my levels and increase my odds of success by waiting. He said he can get the meds donated and he won't charge me to do this... and really feels we can tweak things so we do better next time around. I agree with him, to be honest, but I can't help but feel really sad right now.

This is exactly the rollercoaster of emotions and scenarios I was so afraid of when I thought of IVF. And here I am in it. aggghhhh :'(
