Help - wtf is going on with my response to puregon?

[*beannaithe*]

Hiya

Bit of background on my first stim cycle. Hubby & I did our first down reg cycle last year with 150u Puregon and responded fantastically (borderline OHSS). We got 25 follies and 12 mature eggs after 11 days stims.

Today I had my first BT after 6 days of stims at 150u again yet my E2 was only 289. We, including our FS has no idea what is going on. My first E2 at the same stage last time was 2275.

My Puregon dose has been ramped up to 250u and I have 2 big questions about what happens next. Will my E2 levels bounce back to normal levels now that my Puregon has been upped or is this cycle doomed? Secondly, if all is not lost and my E2 does take off, what are the chances of overstimming given the higher dosage?

Please, please can anyone help, I am a teary big mess here

Oh, hun I can't answer your question but I wanted to come in & give you a huge hug.

Hopefully one of the IVF mummas can answer your question

Thanks love - why can't this ttc stuff be fun like its meant to be? AC is stressful enough without silly bodies throwing great big curveballs at us

Aww, I know it is crappy. I hope it is nothing to worry about though. Last time I did IUI it took a while for me to respond then all of a sudden my follies took off on no increase to puregon - go figure!

Have you had a scan at all?
It really sucks when **** like this happens - hope your cycle still works out.

Hey Marcellus

I go for a scan and another BT on Friday which feels like an absolute eternity away right now iykwim.

Hoping like mad that I am just a slow starter this time round.
