MRI Results and More

My MRI results are in! I have both kidneys and a possible rudimentary horn. A rudimentary horn occurs when the second mullerian duct begins to form the uterus and tube, but for some reason stops. Basically it is the other half of my uterus, but very small. At this point, they do not plan to remove the rudimentary horn

Tomorrow we have an appointment with a the chief of obstetrics to discuss the risks of pregnancy. I still need to schedule my salpingectomy, but am hoping to have it in February.

I was reading last night about vitrification for freezing embryos - the survival rate of the embryos is 95% compared to the usual freezing where only 50% of the embryos survive thawing. I really hope my clinic uses this technique, I'm gonna find out tomorrow. Also, I've been doing a bit of reading on whether to transfer embryos (day 3) or blastocysts (day 5). It seems like the blastocyst is the way to go. They're able to monitor the embryo two additional days, which is a big deal. Since I am having SET (single embryo transfer), I want to make sure I get the best quality possible! Will be discussing this with the doc tomorrow as well.

Having more blood drawn today and tomorrow....today is LH, FSH, and estradoil. Tomorrow my husband and I will be doing our pre-IVF blood tests (HIV, Hep B and C, Rubella, VLDR?, and blood type). I hate needles, so what a fun two days this will be!
