No response to meds?

runfast · July 2016

The past two cycles I responded quickly to femara and menopur. By day 10 I had a mature follicle. This time the doctor increased my menopur dose to recruit more follicles. Day 10 check and NOTHING! My biggest follicle was a 4.5 which is basically how they look at the beginning of the cycle. With the expense of menopur, I kind of just want to cancel, but they said to try 3 more days and come back. Anyone experience this and/or saw growth late in the cycle?

Thanks so much.

I never took either of those medications, but when I was on clomid I took I sometimes didn't have a mature follie until day 13. I would give it the 3 days and see what happens. Maybe your doc can change your medication regimen for next cycle. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck to you!

I had a slow start with my first IUI, they changed the doses and suddenly things happened.
I was on gonal-f, so different meds and they hadn't tried it me before..so might not be of any help.
Just try to keep having faith, a lot can happen in 3 days!

Thanks all. Ugh. I went for day 13 ultrasound and I now have 12 follicles between 7 and 10 mm. I don't get why this cycle is so different from all my others. If I were doing IVF this wouldn't be a concern, but for IUI it is!

I noticed every cycle was different @runfast. It is indeed frustrating, but you'll get there in the end. Just try to stay positive.
What are the doctors planning to do? Have they given you a game plan?

I just got the call that I could cancel or try 2 more days of meds. What happens if you cancel before ovulating? How do you get your period? I am so tired of all the delays, it's such a struggle to wait and wait and wait. Thanks so much for your response. I'm trying to stay positive!

If you cancel you will get your period on your normal time, give or take a few days. I always stayed very punctual even on meds.
Even though stopping this month and not try is one of the hardest part to do, you don't want to have a dreadful TWW for a almost definit BFN.
So when you try two more days, and it still didn't work, then try to let this month be what it is, and get going next month.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you
