And SMC was our winner, picking the correct answer of 22!
Good news is that's 10-15 points (or whatever you call them!) better than I expected. This time last year I had an FSH of 30+, so I'm happy as long as the number is getting better, rather than worse.
Bad news is that the RE recommended only cycling if it was 21 or less :th_aggahhh:
But... he's left the call to me, on the basis that I now know the pros and cons as well as they do. So the verdict is (drum roll...) We're going for it! Well, when I say "we", I haven'y actually told DH yet, but he'll be happy if I am (except for the paying for it bit!). And when I say "going for it", I mean I'll keep taking stims (started yesterday) until I have an U/S on Friday, when we can see if my tired old ovaries are doing anything or not - if not, I'll pull the pin then, happy that we at least gave it a shot this time around. As I said to the nurse - what's few more jabs in the belly and a $1,000 worth of drugs between friends?!
Thanks to those of you who played my lottery game, it really did help alleviate what is otherwise a stressful part of cycling for me. I WON'T be running lottery on how many follicles we might see on Friday, because the numbers from 0-5 aren't that much fun, but I know you'll all be awaiting the result eagerly anyway.
