I know it's been a long time since I posted anything here (I made a re-intro a few months back as we were resuming treatment). This cycle was supposed to be Gonal-F, Ovidrel, and TI.
We've been through Femara cycles and Clomid cycles, but this current cycle was the first time we've had a response to anything. However, there were 6 follicles total (1 mature, 2 close behind it, and three that were large enough that they could also mature and release). We were given the option of going forward with the cycle and undergoing a selective reduction if we had success. We didn't feel comfortable with that option right now, so the cycle was called off. It's been pretty disappointing, I felt like this was the first time we'd actually have a chance.
The nurse did admit that raising my dose a second time was a mistake. So there should be a better treatment plan moving forward. I'm just worried, since this is common with PCOS, if keeping the dose lower will result in less follicles? I guess the dose increase could have them growing more rapidly, but going slower in a cycle with a lower dose just seems like it has the potential to produce a similar amount of follicles, just at a slower rate. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
We may be benched a month or two depending on whether or not these follicles become cysts. It is good that they have found something that works, but it still has been a disappointment nonetheless.
