Follow Up plus donor purchase
Following up from my previous post. https://www.reddit.com/r/SingleMothersbyChoice/comments/1tqexu6/just_need_to_vent_plus_questions/
I had follow up with the clinic today following my scans and I have to say it went really well. I truly didn't know what I was going to hear, so I came out feeling a lot more at ease. So, they did another pelvic baseline scan and cyst has grown a touch since the first one, about 3cm now. She said it could be removed however there are risks in removing it, because if they did try and caught something it could cause bleeding and possibly the loss of the ovary and the tube. But she said removal was my choice and it's not necessary so we're leaving it be. And I know it would probably be a long wait for removal on the NHS.
There were a couple of follicles in that ovary but the risk of using them (I'm going straight to IVF). would be similar to the removal of the cyst. I had already assumed that ovary wouldn't be used anyway because of the cyst, so I was happy to move forward with collection from the left ovary understanding I may not get as many eggs. But I did have seven follicles in my left ovary, which is more than the first scan.
Next steps were also discussed and the next thing I need to do is have implications counselling. Once that's done, I can order sperm to be delivered to the clinic and wait to find out when I can start treatment. So, am waiting for them contact me about that. She took the predicted dates for next three periods too, said my amh looks good, and explained how it works. It's not a definitive timeline but it all feels a little more tangible.
Yesterday I checked my chosen donors page and he's sold out of MOT20 sperm, which I was hoping to purchase. He has MOT10 available and my debating on whether I should purchase it now before implications counselling appointment and have it stored there until I need because I really want to go with him. Should I go for it?
