My body is seriously ****ed up. Last cycle, we did a long down reg and started really slowly. I stimmed for 13 days and my E2 never got over 3200. At EPU, we got 4 eggs.
This cycle, I am on microdose flare with a much higher starting dose of Puregon. I have been on stims for 5 days now and my E2 is already a whopping 7000 . I go back tomorrow for a scan and more bloods.
Can anyone give me any idea what we are looking at here? Has anyone gotten off to this much of a riproaring start and not been cancelled? The last few months have been pretty crap and I am terrified of having to start all over again. At what point would a clinic call a cycle off due to potential OHSS? Is freeze-all going to be an option or am I already too far gone for this after 5 days?
Any help would be awesome.
Cheers
Melissa

Hey Melissa
I don't know that I can be particularly enlightening. I do EPU tomorrow. Fri (after 9 days on Puregon) I was at 7783 (E2) and yesterday I was at 9861 but they are still happy (with a half dose trigger) for me to get the pick-up. They did say that if the OHSS flared they'd freeze all until I was recovered. Friday they were talking about coasting me if the E2 was higher.
Good luck- and may your oestradiol come into line!
Best of luck for your EPU tomorrow - hope you get loads of beautiful little eggies
Thanks for your reply. Today, I had a day 6 E2 which was 11000 and my scan showed 12 decent sized follicles and loads of little ones. My FS said in all the years that he has been doing this job, he has never seen follicles grow so much after only 6 days of stims - hahaha I am special!!! Anywho, no Puregon tonight, I have to do another E2 tomorrow and providing it is not over 15000, they will go ahead and do EPU on Friday. I think it is very much experimental as a)he's never seen this happen so quickly before and b) can eggs really mature after only 6 days? We figure we have nothing to lose as he said that if I don't end up preggers, we will not be out of pocket at all. I think because I was given a dose by another FS WAY higher than it should have been, he feels that the clinic is at fault. Either way, we will gladly take a freebie. Hmmmmm, he didn't seem particularly worried about OHSS either.
Oooh! I'm so suppressed excited for you! Its such a tricky balance, finding just the right amount of response. I too wonder if 6 days is enough- fingers are crossed that it is.
That whole thing of the FS giving the too high dose just reminds me that you really have to own your health- you can't just sit back and go for the ride- even when it feels totally out of your control... I think I'm telling myself that.
I've had one nurse really concerned about OHSS and one not- obviously I went with the concerned one!
Fingers are crossed for well cooked eggs- let us know how you go.
We got 17- 8 icsi, 6 got to hang out in a dish with some swimmers, a few too immature and 7 winners today. Implant tomorrow providing nausea decreases overnight (nervous/ excited!)
Have you had another blood test? How are things going?
Can't get my Puregon right
. I go back tomorrow for a scan and more bloods.
