::sigh::
I've been concerned since last Wednesday when I had my baseline appointment and my AFC was half of what it usually is. It was 6. I've been on Lupron since Friday and stims since Sunday. My lining is still thin and the follicles are still small. Likely looking at a med increase tonight based on what my bloodwork looks like.
Did the BCPs suppress me? Does Lupron suppress, too? What are the chances of actually turning this cycle around? FUIF.

Re: Talk to me about oversuppression
Sounds like you still have time to move forward. You would rather be oversuppressed adn take longer to stim than to have OHSS. Try to stay positive, they can adjust your meds and your follicles will wake up.
Sept '11-April '13 ~ Testing, failed multiple MFI treatments, saving & TONS of praying
January 2014 ~ IVF/ICSI & PGS ~ no response to stims ~ converted to IUI ~ BFN
February 2014 ~ On to donor embyros ~ 5 blasts!!!
March 2014 ~ FET #1 ~ Transferred 2 blasts ~ BFN
July 2014 ~ Kliman's mock cycle with endometrial function test
Sample too small for EFT, HE slide showed immature cells
New protocol planned, saving for another biopsy for EFT
January 2015 ~ Considering adoption options
April 2015 ~ Privately arranged adoption of planned pregnancy
DD#1 ~ Lillyana Violet Marie born 6/15/16, Finalized adoption 12/20/16
July 13, 2018 ~ BFP....WTF?!?!
7/16 Beta #1 ~ 466...7/18 Beta #2 ~ 1,077...7/23 Beta #3 ~ 5,291
7/23 US #1 ~ 1 gestational sac seen and yolk sac
7/30 US #2 and 1st OB appt ~ 1 perfectly round gestational sac, 1 perfect yolk sac and 1 teeny tiny heart beat seen!!!
Hang in there - it is still early.
Yes, Lupron can oversuppress. I'm pretty sure that is often why REs switch to a different protocol if a cycle fails. That was the case for me - it was part of my protocol for IVF#1.
Don't lose hope. Things can turn around!!
Thanks gals. Lupron is the only new addition to this month's cycle, so that must be the culprit.
I'll play along until Friday, but the appointment this morning was pretty disheartening.
Another question: If my ovaries do wake up, can they recruit more follicles at this point? The point of switching from Antagonist to MDLF was to recruit a few more follicles and so far I've cut the amount of potentials in half. I'd rather cancel and try again next month, rather than hope those 5 follicles all contain mature eggs at ER.

I was really oversupressed on Lupron my first cycle. Details from that cycle are in my siggy. Unfortunately my previous RE never changed my meds and what I started with med wise he kept and never upped my meds. I don't think you can get anymore follicles but I think if they up your meds you can get the follicles to grow. My E2 level before trigger was 977 - I never made it above 1,000. My new RE is trying the antagnostic approach - he thinks the long lupron protocol suppressed me and he didn't want to chance it again. Hang in there I think if they up your meds you have a really good chance of turning this around. Fx for you.
