Infertility

Follies not growing

I've been to the RE 5 times already.  Usually I only have to go 3 visits and my follies are exactly where they need to be.  This month though, I was asked to take clomid 1 every 12 hours when I usually take them together, and they gave me a lower dose of injectables than they usually do.  My RE has a partner whom we had never seen until this cycle.  Due to personal reasons, my RE has been out twice already and we've had to see his partner.  She explains things well but she was the one who prescribed my meds differently.  Yesterday when I went, my follies were only at 13.  She told me if they don't go beyond 14 by tomorrow, we'll have to cancel they cycle.  I'm so bummed and stressed and tired of this whole cycle.  Thanks for letting me vent.

  • That sucks.   I would be frustrated too.  Didn't she look at your history at all?

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  • She did and I told her I usually take my meds differently but she said she wanted to try it this way this month.  I told my  DH from the very beginning I wasn't too keen on this but I guess they're supposed to know what they're doing.  Now I'm so upset that my follies aren't responding the way they usually do and I guess in my hurting rage, I'm wanting to make that one of the reasons.

  • I'm sorry. That just stinks. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that things improve. :)

  • my follies were VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY slow to grow. I did injectables and had to stim for 16 days! They stalled out around 10-11 mm for days. and then they finally grew. That's too bad that your doctor will cancel your cycle? I eventually had a mature follie on day 19 and triggered that night. Good luck.
