Over stim? (injects)

AKB090609

Hi ladies! Tonight I have a question for you well actually a few, so let me get them started:

1) what was your initial dose of follistim?

2) is it possible to over stim after only 3 shots?

3) what did/does it feel like to over stim?

4)if you did IUI with follistim how many total days did you stim and at what dose?

5) what cycle day did you have your IUI?

Can you tell I've been over thinking things today.. Oh well at least I know that you always provide the answers I need!

Hi ladies! Tonight I have a question for you well actually a few, so let me get them started:

1) what was your initial dose of follistim?

I started with 75 for the first IUI.  ( I did 3 days at 112.5) = BFN

The second IUI was 112.5 the whole time= BFP but c/p

Third was 150 (I overstimmed so it got cancelled)

2) is it possible to over stim after only 3 shots?

Im not sure.  I assume so if they start you too high.

3) what did/does it feel like to over stim?

I was really tired this whole cycle and since i now have 13 mature follies my ovaries feel like they weigh 50 pounds.  I just found out yesterday that I am overstimming and today I had some pain, but nothing too bad.  I dont think you can really tell that you are overstimming until you ovulate them?  RE warned me that when I do ovulate, its going to be really uncomfortable

4)if you did IUI with follistim how many total days did you stim and at what dose?

I ranged 8-10 days stimming.  This last cycle when I overstimmed it was 7 days.

5) what cycle day did you have your IUI?

12 and 13

I hope this helps, but really everyone responds differently to stims since we all have such different *problems*.  I naturally produce a lot of follicles on my own, I need help growing them into maturity.  I also got pg with a follicle that was under 18mm so they consider smaller follicles *mature* for me.

Can you tell I've been over thinking things today.. Oh well at least I know that you always provide the answers I need!  I think we all over think these things.  It sucks b/c over thinking and obsessing are the only things we have control over with IF.
