@mrswin: all my tests are normal. Sperm frag was surprisingly good. Only 17% fragmented.

@leanne82: Even though I stuck with the same protocol the second cycle, they did change my medication dosages and it made a huge difference for me. Good luck with your meeting today!!

@Sunshine1810 @mrswin: thank you ladies! It went well. We have a plan...first I gotta get my cyst drained if it hasn't shrunk from bcp. Then hopefully I can start stims in December. Our doc seemed hopeful for us. Hopefully my mind can calm down now. I've been a mess these last few weeks waiting for this appointment.

@leanne82: I am glad that you have a plan! I always end up feeling better coming out for the doctor's office when I have a solid plan! I'm so glad your doctor is hopeful! That alone is helpful! Good luck to you!

@leanne82: So great that your appointment went well and you have a plan in place! If you are willing to share, did the RE have any thoughts on why your last cycle wasn't successful?

@mrswin: thanks! he doesn't know for sure but is leaning towards a sperm issue. Also my eggs were not very similar in size so it was probably a combo of the two. I'm glad for a different protocol.

@leanne82: It sounds like it could have been both factors for sure. A new protocol will hopefully make all the difference
