On what CD were you ready to trigger? I am going in on Thursday CD 8 for a follie check. Tonight is day 3 of Follistim. My dosage is 50 per night. I was just curious on how many days I may be doing this.
Thanks!

on a straight follistim cycle I was only able to stim for 6 days. I started at 75IU and dropped down to 50IU after 2 days. I'm usually a pretty fast responder, but I had to trigger about 2 days earlier than they wanted b/c my e2 was off the charts. GL!
My IVF twins born at 33w6days by c-section due to twin A being IUGR
Rylan born at 2:54pm weighing 2lb 8oz, 14.5 inches
Emma born at 2:55pm weighing 5lb 5oz, 18 inches
When I did Follistim w/my IUIs, I stimmed cds 8-12, so five nights of follistim, triggered on day 13, then I went in for my IUI the morning of the 15th.
Thanks ladies. It sounds like they are starting me off slowly with a smaller dosage than what some of you had taken. I will have stimmed for 5 days before going in for u/s and blood work. I guess I will have more answers after Thursday!

Sorry, I'm late getting here but I, like you, am being started off slowly. I'm currently on 50ui and I went in for my b/w today and my E2 level was still too low. Today is day 8 of stims. I go back on Thurs morning for more b/w. GL!
