Took my last birth control pill last night and will go in for a suppression check on Thursday.
Since I have so many follicles (usually around 20 less than 10 on each side) they're starting me at only 150 IU gonal-f. Seeing as how I didn't even manage to get ONE follie with that much on my last IUIs I'm thinking that this is going to be a very loooong stim process. How long were you gals (particularly those of you with PCOS) on stims before ER?

Re: Last BCP last night...
Good luck tomorrow and on your cycle!
Good luck! I start stims on Wednesday so we're very close! Cycle buddies!
My first IVF, a year ago, I displayed much more PCOS symptoms....had 27 AFCs. I ended up only stimming for 8 nights and I was also started on a low does of meds and watched very closely. For whatever reason, my body has changed A LOT since last year and now I have very low AFCs. For IVF #2, I only had 9 and I ended up stimming for 10 nights. I'm expecting about the same for IVF#3.
Hope Thursday is all clear for you!

Good luck with everything - it's exciting to get started.
Thanks for responding! Even though I know everyone responds differently it's nice to have an idea.
And hooray for cycle buddies! Best of luck to you!
