What dose of Gonal F were you on for your first cycle?

Hi,

I have no PCOS or any other know fertility issues. I am 36 and had a natural conception and pregnancy when I was 22/23 (I got pregnant when we were using contraception and only having sex once a fortnight so I was obviously very fertile then - my daughter is now 13). I am going through IVF because after a year of donor insemination I have not had a positive preg test. I think due to having had a successful pregnancy in the past my doctor thinks there is no reason to think I shouldn't get pregnant fairly easily (though the past year of donor insemination and crazy cycles have me worried).

I have been put on 225 but now had my cycle delayed due to them not telling me I had low Rubella immunity (they had the results for 6 weeks before they told me I should get reimmunised). Now won't start on my injections for another 3 weeks.

When I was doing donor insemination I was on clomid but my body didn't respond to it so I had my dosage increased and still only got one dominant follicle. I know the injections are quite different but I don't think my body would respond well to a low dose.

it really depends on each doctors protocol where you start off. I started on 75, the moved to 112.5, but neither amount did anything for my body - even with PCOS. But then i ended up with OHSS on 225... so your body can be a fickle thing at times!
