How many days were you on FSH?

Is this your partners first ever cycle of stims?

[Baby Dreamtime]

Hi TwoMums,
I agree with Nixon, every woman is different, please don't be disheartened, and think of the fact it is better to have quality not quantity. My first EPU I got 19 eggs, 15 fertilised, but they were all crap quality. I did 3 FETs (day 3 transfers) with these embroys, they were all slow growing and fragmented, about 5 or 6 cells by day 3. All BFN. So numbers don't mean anything.

I hope Kim's next scan show more going on and her E2 levels pick up, and hope you go on to get some great embies. Best of luck

Nixon - No unfortunately. Kim did a cycle of stims to become an egg donor to me in 2006. She was on 150iu Gonal F for about 5 days and she had about 5 follicles. By day 11she had 7 follicles. Then by EPU she had already ovulated (Synarel did not work on her, hence why we are using Lucrin this time) and we only got 3 immature eggs.

Since then she has had about 10 cycles of IUI using either Clomid or Clomid plus Puregon. She usually responds well! Thats why we cannot understand why she didnt have any follicles by day 6 of stims this time. Especially seen as how she is on 225iu of Gonal F this time around.

Our next ultrasound is tomorrow morning, so not long to wait to find out if this cycle is going ahead or not.

Two mums,

Good luck with your scan tomorrow. Lets hope there are some good sized follicles there

Kim's results sound very similar to my 2nd stim cycle. I too didnt respond well after being on 225 iui of gonal even though I responded well the 1st time on 187.5 It all doesnt make sense unfortunately and it hard to understand.

for you both.

Take care,

Tania

Well we went for our scan and she has 3 on one side and 2 and a couple of smaller ones on the other side. Still need to take the gonal f and lucrin until the next scan on tuesday and he has upped the dose to 300iu. He said we wont get any more follies than what we have now. So we have 5 plus a couple of maybe's at this stage. Hopefully it will be quality over quantity hey girls! He will call us with our E2 levels at lunch time, so will come back with those shortly.

Ok her E2 levels are 450, is this bad?
