Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - Oct 2007 #2

Dusty,

I had the pregnyl in my last 2 cycles.. every 2nd day to help with the Gonal F, and then 3 times during the 2ww to support the crinone.... the messing around with snapping the vials, etc is a little daunting at first, but you get used to it!

I found I had much more EWCM with the pregnyl... and a lot more discomfort in regards to the ovaries feeling really swollen.
(But it was worth it - it was the difference between getting 5 and 7 eggs the first 2 cycles, and 18 eggs in the last 2 cycles)
Make sure you're drinking bucketloads of water!!!
... Oh, and you have LOTS of packets of liners in the house

thanks holly for that info.
i rang the clinic and they said that the pregnyl supports the LH in women that haven't responded well to stims in the past. this is why i am on a flare cycle as we think the down reg protocol suppressed my LH too much.
your example of your increase in egg numbers is fabulous. thanks for sharing. i have only been able to get 3 and 4 in my EPU's before. i am heartened to think i may get more this time around! btw i went and got some water as soon as i read your post. i need to tie a bottle on my waist with something like a daggy 1980s bumbag!
