Hi,
Thanks for the reply and sharing your story. You are absolutely right because when I asked the clinic if it was too low and whether I should be worried they said exactly what you said - they prefer to start me slowly and up it if needed rather than risk the total bust that occurred last time. Apparently it is also better for egg quality to start slowly and increase the dose than to start too fast and back off.

Last time they checked me on CD3 and then not again until CD8. At CD 3 I was 458 (which was in the normal range I am told) but then by CD8 I had rocketed to over 10 000. So, they reduced my Puregon to 150 but by CD10 I had managed to get to 24000 and was feeling pretty terrible and so was cancelled L At least cancelling avoided what would have inevitable landed me up in hospital with OHSS had they done an EPU though, so I guess I knew it was the right call.

Anyway, so we're back to the drawing board at half dose (100) and am hoping I start to take off a little so that by the time I do the BT and U/S on Friday (CD7) things are looking good. If not hopefully it isn’t too late to up the dose and then monitor me closely to make sure I don’t start taking off exponentially again. It is such a guessing game hey!

Thanks again for answering my post and good luck with your snow bubs J
