Hi ladies my DH and I have been TTC for 10 years. Yes 10 years. I have NEVER been pregnant in my life. Needless to say, the problem is me. I have a blocked Fallopian tube from endometriosis. We are currently on our first cycle of IVF. I am 34, and he is 36. I have been stimming since 12/3 CD 3. Had follicular ultrasound yesterday, and results are not what the RE expected. She has me continuing on my current doseage follistim aq 225 and menopur 75 and wants me to inject IM in the arm versus the thigh to allow for better absorption. I am trying to stay positive. I have nobody to talk to about this besides my DH, and I don't want to bother him to death. Thanks for reading.

I just had my first IVF in November, and started of very very slow.
Got extra check ups and they did not like the slow progress.
At the end I had only 6 follicles bigger than 12mm, but they took out 16 eggs!
I ended up being overstimulated.
So don't loose your positive attitude, at least try not to.
Luckily for us our doctors have done this before and know how it works.
As it is your first try they have to see how you react on the medication. They rather start you off with a lower dose to increase its volume with the next check-up.
Which means that you are right on track
Do 'bother' your DH, he'll be fine, he's in it with you and would be more than happy to help out by listening, as there isn't much else he can do.
But of course, there are lots of lovely ladies on this site that are happy to help! So do write when you need advice, let out steam or just feel like saying hi!
I know I've had quit some comfort/help from these lovely ladies.
Best of luck, I'll keep my FX for you!

Lots of us have gone through IVF before (myself included) and are here to answer questions or just tell you you're not crazy for whatever you are feeling at different points in the cycle (its quite a roller coaster).
