Update on slow response to estrogen priming protocol

in Success after IF

Hey ladies....I posted last Thursday about my first ivf and how I was probably getting cancelled. Several of you took the time to respond and offer words of wisdom and encouragement so I wanted to post a quick update.

I am on day 14 of stims today...I finally have some measurable follies....eight measuring 10 and two measuring 11.  The dr isnt going to cancel me yet. I go back on Wed for another check. He is keeping my meds at 300 of menopur and 300 of bravelle, 5 of lupron.  He did mention that extended stimming could result in lower egg quality so I guess that is something to be concerned about but right now I am feeling hopeful. 

Thanks for all of your encouragement last week and if you have a similar story that was successful I would love to hear it. TIA. Smile

    I am glad to hear that your cycle wasn't cancelled.  I have to say the IVF where I stimmed the longest, I had the least amount of eggs fertilize, but it is the one where we got our BFP.  We transferred 4 and 3 took and we lost one at 8 weeks.  Hang in there:)

    I am surprised though he is keeping you on lupron.  It seems completely strange to me.  We didn't do any lupron at all for our EPP because it surpresses you.

    Hey there!  Yay for them coming along!  I have to say, my first two I only stimmed for 9 days and only had 4 mature eggs and both BFN's.  For #3, I stimmed for 16 days and ended up with 7 mature eggs and a BFP.  Hopefully the longer stimming works for you, too.  Good luck!

    -butting in- I think the lupron at this point is overkill. I just had a 2nd opinion appt to rev my chem preg cycle and was told "no wonder you had so many immature, you were on 40 IU OF LUPRON for 10 DAYS".  I know 5 is no where near that but with women with response issues/elevated fsh/ama whatever the issue may be, we cannot be in danger of being oversuppressed. GL though and I will be following your progress on TTTC!

    Thanks so much for the encouragement & sharing your success stories!  I asked several times today if I should stay on the lupron and the nurse kept telling me the dr said yes. I am so tempted to reduce it by half or something like that...but who am I kidding...I am not a dr. I really hope this guy knows what he is doing!
