Neptune - Only thing I noticed when taking syneral was that my head felt very congested and had a mild headache. This was after a few weeks of takig it though. Initially I didnt feel anything.
KateB - Sorry to hear about your work situation. I havent told them abotu IVF at work, so I am just trying to work around things for now. We have flexible working conditions at my work, so I guess that makes it much easier also. As for this cycle. I wish you the best of luck! I really hope that you get lots of follies this time! The IVF experience is very frustrating...
Kaydee - Yes we are very close this cycle. I was on 225 for 5 days but this morning doc told me to increase to 450!
Kahlan - sounds like you are a little stressed now, sometimes that effects ovulation, so just "try" and let yourself relax a little. I know that is usually easier said then done though
AFM Had my U/S this morning. There were 4 follies and my FS said that is not good enough, we need more. So he increased my gonal-f from 225 to 450. I have to take that for 5 days and have another U/S with him on Wednesday. I asked when Egg collection would be and he said late next week/early week after.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? FS seems to think more will grow with the higer dosage. I feel a little down this morning, after my visit. Reason why we are doing IVF is b/c of DH's sperm, perhaps there is also an issue with myself that I am not aware of? Sorry for the winge, I just feel let down this morning, maybe I am expecting too much! Anyway time will tell, and we'll see what happens on Wednesday.
LS, it can be disappointing when there aren't as many follies present as you were hoping. Sounds like you dr is giving you a chance to get some more follies going this month though. The opportunity to produce follies and eggs can vary from month to month even if you are a fertile woman with no problems. While they try to get as many as they can within safe bounds, it does also come down to quality as well.
One of our members also with male IF issues, didn't get too many eggs on her first cycle but fell pg straight away with one of the two embies they got. She is now in her 2nd tri!
The other reason your FS will have increased your stim to 450 is to help get you producing more estrogen to support the eggs you are growing. I have had this happen several times to help kick start things along.
Welcome all the newbies and wishing you all BFPs
