Just started follistim 3 days ago! (trigger warning baby mentioned)

edited February 2016 in Infertility
Hello everyone! I conceived a healthy baby girl 2 years ago on my own, but ever since I have have not gotten my period. We have been trying for over a year now with no success. I have a history of an eating disorder and my RE did a bunch of tests and I have hypothalamic amenorrhea. My estrogen was 42 for my baseline bloodwork and my ultrasound showed a very thin lining. I have been on 75IU of follistim and will have another ultrasound on Sunday. Any success stories or tips for me? Thanks everyone!

  • Hi and welcome.

    A little trigger warning when mentioning a child is recommended as most women here never gotten that far and like to screen posts.

    No success story from me. But as a tip; don't be to hard on yourself. I've noticed since I joined this board that we women are our worst enemies and are extremely hard on ourself when not getting that BFP right away,
    Do change some unhealthy life choices by healthy ones, but don't get all angry when enjoying yourself with bag of crisps and wine. 
    I would recommend to take steps in your own time, if you need a break, take one. If you have questions, ask. If you are worried, tell someone. 

    GL on your journey, you can do this!

  • I am currently on follistim injections my third round and final iui. I would just say this have fun trying to make the baby. This journey of making a baby may take awhile or for some it can happen the first time. Stay positive and keep yourself busy as to not focus on the process and the TWW. 
  • Oh no no, don't be sorry. I didn't mention it to make you feel bad :(

  • I just feel bad, I know now, thank you!
  • Hi @Shopaholic42488!  I've been on follistim for two different cycles now (125 iu) and I always produce many follicles quickly on it.  Both times I've had at least 2 mature follicles by CD 11.  Everyone's body is different though, so the monitoring via ultrasound is important.  Good luck to you!

    PS. The "visitors: please read this first before posting" thread at the top of the forum goes over the trigger warnings to include in your subject line in order to be sensitive to the community!  I would recommend editing your post and adding the appropriate warning, and then just add a little mention in your post about why you edited as well. :)
