Im on day 7 of 300 follistim and just got a positive opk. Nurse told me not to do Ovidrel and go to RE office in the morning. I had 2 12's and an 11 on Friday and Im worried that without Ovidrel only 1 follicle will release. Anyone know if this is the case? To make matters worse I told him we have to BD today and he tells me he just "did it" himself! Im so pi**ed off! Now I have to wait a few hours and hope he can produce something.Timing sucks!

I'm not on nearly as much Follistim as you are...but I ovualted early on my last cycle. My follies (5 of them) all under 12....so we canceled IUI and tried the old fashioned way...although I did use my Ovidrel. HTH!
Everything should release...it does normally for you, right? If you're prone to get cysts, I could see your concern. But really the ovidrel is mainly used to time the ovulation better so your chances increase. Its not that it makes all the follies go...in fact I think I have seen ladies use ovidrel and still get a cyst the next cycle. Maybe next cycle you should discuss getting something to stop you from ovulating until your follies all get the right size. Just remember you will ovulate all including all the little ones that aren't mature...that happens every cycle of your life...its just the meds make more of those little follies mature instead of normally just having 1 dominant one.
Thanks Jcombs! When I saw you were on I was hoping I would get an answer from you. Im pretty upset with my RE because I tend to O early so last month I asked my RE if I could use something to keep this from happening and he said no.

Ask your RE what ganilrex does then? If it doesn't hold off ovulation, then I guess a lot of us ladies on here are taking an expensive medication for absolutely no reason!
