Lucky - my FS told me that he was aiming for between 6 - 12 eggs. I ended up with 6 eggs at EPU of which 4 were mature, fertilised, grown to day 5 - 1 transferred back and 3 frozen. He said it was a good result and that sometimes the quality of the eggs can be compromised if there are a lot of eggs. (I don't know if he was just saying that to make me feel better - I was expecting to get a lot more eggs).
But, in saying that it was also my first ever stim cycle and he did tell me that they can't always get the dose perfect first time.
I was on 150 of Puregon for 8 days when he bumped the does up to 200 for a further 6 days. I know it's not as big a jump as yours, but I still was worried that they would stop the cycle due to lack of stimulation or something.
My oestrogen levels were not fantastic and that was the main reason for increasing the dose rather than the size or number (I think). Once I got the increased dose my oestrogen levels quadrupled in 4 days.
I don?t think it?s anything to worry about. I reckon if you are still concerned talk to one of the nurses and ask them if they think it?s normal?
To everyone else ? I hope you are all going well at whatever stage you are currently at. I?m keeping to myself a bit at the moment. Nearing the end of my TWW and starting to get the inevitable jitters. Anyway, it?s out of my hands now.
