gargy - i too have PCOS - and had to be on doses of 150-200 to get even a minimal response. i think it's more common for PCOS sufferers to need higher doses - although not everyone has to!!! i guess it's just another of those nasty little implications of PCOS! how rude!

i got 1 dominant follie at 150 (resulted in chemical pregnancy), 1 at 175, 3 at 200 - have now moved to IVF - and got 22 eggs at 300iu - but something along the lines of 60 follies - so was super uncomfy!!

good luck with it - i just read your boo hoo - and to be honest, i would think it's best to either tell her it's not possible for her to stay due to work commitments, or tell her you have to have some tests or something, and would prefer the time alone to recover. as far as most people know, i had minor surgery that resulted in complications when i had the IVF EPU - no need for them to know i chose to have time off to deal with it all! if we ever have to do another epu i'll again take time off work - but to be honest, i found i was fine through the IUI's - had to juggle work a bit, but no one guessed that anything was going on, so you may find you're ok... if insemination isn't til the 21st, you won't know results til the first week of feb anyway - might be better to get the visit out of the way!
