Hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm new to Belly Belly and wanted to say hello to you all. It's been lovely reading all your stories and sharing in your journeys. I'm in the middle of my first IVF/ICSI cycle. Started on 150 Puregon. My FS only found a couple of follicles first scan and increased dosage to 250. Had my 2nd scan yesterday and only have 3 follicles. FS has increased dose to 450 and thinks we still have a fighting chance so we've decided to go for it. I knew the first cycle would be experimental, but can't help but feel disappointed. I know 3 follicles at this stage is better than none, but logic says 3 follicles means lower chance of eggs which means an even lower chance of a good embie. I cry at the drop of a hat these days, blaaah. I have my next scan on Monday and have fingers crossed we're good to go for EPU on Wed or Fri.
Bye for now
