If slow and steady wins the race than I am a looser!

I have been in for my monitoring appointments every day this week. They have me on 20 units of Lupron am and pm, baby aspirin, and 450 units of Follistim. When I went in for my first US on Tuesday the doctor said that I was going fast. My follicles were measuring double what he expected. WTF does that mean. I was a little confused. The RE doing the US is the old man dr that doesn’t really say much so I left with minimal information. I was assuming they would back off my meds if I was going that fast but I was wrong. They kept me on the 450 of Follistim. The next morning at my US I asked the old man RE what the deal was. I asked if going too fast meant bad egg quality or if they were going to cancel me. He said…and I quote “fast is good, super fast is bad and you are just fast.” So I guess I am ok? They have not reduced my meds yet. My ER date has moved from next Thursday (27th) to this Sunday or Monday. I guess that’s ok with me…my ovaries are hurting already and I am so bloated. I can’t wait to spend the weekend in sweat pants! I think they will retrieve about the same number as last time. 15ish…with about 10 or so being mature. Not too bad…I just hope they are good quality.




Happy Weekend to everyone! I will let you know how my ER goes!

  2. Wow! 450 units of Follistim is a lot. I was on 150 units! Sounds like things are going good, though! Definitely giving you positive thoughts and praying those little eggies of yours are good quality! :)

  3. It's so fascinating to read each person's protcol. I'm not on stims yet, so I don't know what my dosage will be, but my Lupron is only 10 units per day... Supposedly because of my OPCOS, I will be an above average responder - AKA: very likely to over-stimulate...Awesome.

    Wishing you the best! (Enjoy your sweatpants!)

  4. I'm glad you're moving along and that you're gonna be making some embies in the next few days - how exciting!!

    I hope all continues to go smoothly and that the injections go easier for you than they did during the debacle. Too funny.

  8. The same thing happened to me. My follicles were huge and they told me that they didn't want them to get any bigger, yet they didn't change my medicine. It was very confusing. Good luck to you!!! Hope this is your year!
