Re-Intro/jumping back in!

[fairfax]

Hi all! I’ve taken a break for a few months but I’m about 6 days into the stims for our first egg retrieval and thought I would jump back in!

How exciting to see all the BFPs, retrievals and transfers - good luck everyone!

Welcome back! Good luck on your stim cycle! Do you have an estimated retrieval date yet? There’s a whole bunch of us cycling and it’s so nice to have the company.

They had thought retreival would be around July 4, but with the results of my follicle check today I think it will be pushed back. I only had 1 follicle over 6 mm on each side, and a handful more that were almost 5. I go back Saturday for another check.

First monitoring appt was this morning - not great results but i go back Saturday.

I’m on 10 IU of microdose Lupron and 300 Follistim in the morning, then 10 IU microdose Lupron and 150 Menopur in the evening. I have no idea if that’s a lot or a medium amount or what, lol!

Good luck at your next check!! My follicles grew slowly at the beginning and then all of a sudden there they were. It was nerve wracking waiting for them to pop.

Welcome back and good luck with your cycle!

300 of follistim and 150 of menopur are higher doses, but not the highest I've seen. 2 doses of lupron, I've never seen before, and I've never seen 20u daily of lupron during stims. Usually 10 or 5. However, I'm not an infertility provider (yet).

[compassrose]

I hope yours 'pop' like seeyalater52's did!

I was on 300 follistim and 75 menopur, so it sounds normal to me (although I'm not sure about the Lupron).

When I did microdose lupron flare, I did lupron am and pm, but I don't remember the dose. I also did 450IU of FSH, which is what you're doing - it was the max my clinic would prescribe. Good luck! Hope your appt on Saturday goes well.
