Yep 60 follicles is correct i have 36 on my right ovary and 24 on the left one. The biggest of them is between 14-16mm and im not quite sure about the size of the smallest. OHSS is what i was worried about but they didnt mention it and my doctor told me to stay on the same doses as i am on and to just start taking the pregnyl every 3 days. Hopefully monday will answer alot of my q's, what happens if you do get OHSS does the cycle get cancelled?
I have never had OHSS but I have read about women having cycles cancelled due to it...I guess it depends on how bad it is.
Do you have PCOS because I have that many follies when my PCOS is active (ie. not when I am doing IVF and on stims).
Normally they want the dominant follie to get to 20mm or thereabouts before you trigger. Maybe they are using the pregnyl to get a few dominant follies quickly so they can do the pickup sooner rather than later ?????
I would ring your clinic today and ask some questions.
I had OHSS with 21 follicles so 60 is an astonishing figure!!!!
If you are at risk of severe OHSS then it is better that the cycle is cancelled IMO, its just too dangerous. Especially as if you do get pregnant the symptoms get worse before they get better. The fact that you have PCOS may result in different answers than what Im saying though.
Not sure about the Pregnyl, not the protocol when we were going through IVF (may have been a different clinic too, obviously).
Wow, That's a huge amount. Are you feeling ok??
Did you call?? Take it easy & the 1st signs of OHSS you should head off to the hospital. I suppose the pregnyl is to rein the couple of larger ones so they can do an epu ASAP. Your a follicle machine. I mean that in the nicest way.
Take care of yourself n best of luck. Will be thinking of you keep us updated
