Good morning, ladies! I had an ultrsound and bloodwork yesterday for monitoring for IVF. I have around 40 follicles and my E2 is at 3258. I feel good though :-). My RE said to add a serving of Whey Protein to my food each day to help prevent OHSS. The Whey Protein helps absorb that extra fluid. Thought some of you might benefit from this info also! We got the vanilla flavor and added it to a smoothie. Couldn't even taste it!
Stopped BCPs December 2008
TTC since June 2009
6 unsuccessful Clomid cycles
Dx Annovulatory due to PCOS January 2010
DH-perfect
4 unsuccessful IUIs
Began Lupron July 7 for first IVF
IVF cancelled; overstimulation and coasting lead to huge drop in E2
New testing with an Endocrinologist...perhaps a new diagnosis...
So, not PCOS but Hashimoto's Thyroiditis November 2010
After a looong break, started seeing a new RE. Gearing up for IVF 1.2.
Beta 1=197!!
