Toby - I too have endo and it was severe. I had a 10cm cyst on my left ovary which in turn squashed my uretha and I had cysts on my bowel too. I had an emergency laparotomy in Feb last year due to severe pain in which they chopped the top of the cyst only hoping it would go away but it didnt. I then went to Endo Care Assoc Aust and the dr there was terrific. After many scans he advised another laparotomy to remove my ovary with the cyst on it, I then had a stent put into my uretha by a urologist and had a bowel surgeon remove the cysts on my bowel. The op took just over 5 hrs with 3 surgeons working on me. I am feeling lots better now (pain free!!!) and my dr fixed my anatomy ready for IVF. He told me before the op that IVF just wouldnt work so had to have the surgery first. I hope this has helped. If you need any more info, just message me. Good luck.
Hello to everyone else.
AFM, went for my scan this morning. They found 8 follies but only 2 of a good size. There is 1 at 12mm which they are HOPING may grow before EPU. I trigger tomorrow night with EPU on Thursday. I was hoping for a better result as I am on such a high doseage of Gonal. Does anyone know what the highest doseage is???? Im on 450. Work isnt being very supportive partically my boss so am feeling quite low. When I told him I was going into hospital on Thursday, he was like "just the morning"? I was like nooooooo, I need the whole day off. Mind you this will be my 3rd EPU so have told him before that they put me under. I hate his ignorance and I feel even more alone than ever. If it wasnt for this site and you girls, I dont know how I would cope. Thank-you. Sorry to vent but Im just angry with my boss at his lack of understanding.
Think 450 might be the highest dosage for Gonal F. Did you ask if they can wait a bit longer with EPU just wondering since they normally want the follicles to be at least 18mm and they usually grow only 2mm per day. That said they usually grow better once you've done the trigger as that gives them some extra power.
I have 2 ready to go, one at 22mm and the other at 17mm so they cant delay trigger unfortunately. I have 2 at 10mm and 3 at 9mm so they have no hope but hoping the
12mm grows some more. Going by your stats, it should grow to about 18mm by Thursday fingers crossed! Im having another injection tonight so hope that helps too.
I thought 450 would be the highest doseage. That doesnt give me much comfort.
