Baseline yesterday...long w/ questions

soon2Bmrs.AGEE

I went in on CD 5 yesterday for my baseline appointment. I still had a 13mm follie, or pocket, not sure what to call it. The nurse said it was fine, probably the side I oed from. I didn't have that the cycle prior.

Bloodwork came back at baseline. I will be doing femara again. She talked to me about injectables too. I responded to the femara but didn't get pregnant so they are beginning to look into that. I will still take the femara but be ready with the injects just in case I don't respond enough. Anyone else do femara and injects in the same cycle?

Also, my appointment was supposed to be last Friday but they called and needed to push it to yesterday because it is IVF time for them and they were crazy busy. Will starting femara on CD5 push back O? Last cycle I started it on CD2. I worry that I won't have enough time to respond to it by next Wed when I go for my follie scan? Maybe that's why we are doing injects?

Final question, I was given the option on follistim or bravelle based on which my ins covered. She said the follistim is easier because it is a prefilled pen. Which do you prefer? Does one hurt more than the other?

Thanks!! If you made it this far I applaud you!!

I did use femara and follistim in the same cycle. I didn't respond to the femera, so they moved me right to injects during that cycle. I actually got pregnant that cycle, but lost the baby. I have never used bravelle, but the follistim pen is very easy and almost painless.
