while i am here, anyone get only one follicle on injectibles?

i did 75iu of gonal F and responded quickly, but only with one good follicle.  while i am scared of multiples, two would have been nice to get that extra target in.

my RE was being conservative, which I am ok with, but I am now thinking this was not much better than my clomid cycles where I only got one good one too.  I did my IUI today, so i guess i will know in two weeks ugh.

    I did 5 fays of Clomid followed by 2 days of Follistim 25IU and had 3.

    Femara + Menopur gave me 2 follicles for IUI #1, 1 follicle for IUI #2 and 3 for #3. Same dose each time.

    Yes, I only had one follie on 75 units. I had 3 on 150 and then just had 8 mature eggs during our IVF on 375 units.

    GL next time. Smile

    I only got one this cycle. My RE is going to add Lupron next time to try to get more to mature.

    I only had one on injectables. 

     

    I think one argument with injects is that they may produce a better quality egg than drugs like Clomid as Clo doesn't directly stimulate follicular growth while injects do. IDK if this is true or not.

    I know there is also a similar argument for Femara. Again, this is just stuff that I've read, not sure if it's true.

    I only had one on Gonal-f as well.  My RE was very conservative w/ my dosage, and said he'd up the dosage next time, if there is a next time!!  Good luck.  We are both in the 2ww!

    300 iu/day gave me one big follie, and I got pregnant, but miscarried.  

    Another time, a lower dose got us four follies... every cycle is different.

    On the off chance you come back to this thread...I only had one good follicle after 4 days of 300 and 6 days 450 of gonal f and our IVF was cancelled. RE is confident I was over suppressed from lupron.  GL!
