So frustrated!

I am on my second cycle of Follistim right now, and things have been going really well. I only had one follie last time, and I seemed to be growing a lot more and faster this time around, so I have been pleased. The RE didn't want me to over-stimulate, so he dropped my dose steadily from 225 to 125. Needless to say, my US today showed that I had little to no growth since Friday.. My 13mm is still 13mm, but one other grew to 14mm from 11mm, I think. Last time he started me on 150, and i didn't respond, so WHY did he go down so low again?! He said to bump back up to 200 today and tomorrow, then back for an US on Wednesday. And basically, the nurse said if I am not ready for the Ovidril on Wednesday, they will want to scrap the whole cycle. Can't believe that this has gone so poorly! It is driving me crazy. Keeping my fingers crossed that things will work out after upping the dose.

    Well, I had a 17mm follicle today so I will do one more night of 200, and then trigger tomorrow. Here's to hoping for good news!
