Hi everyone
By starting this post I guess it's pretty obvious I plan on having another crack at it. #-o
I know from previous posts in here that a lot of you have a lot of knowledge of drugs and dosages etc. I chose to be ignorant this cycle as I used to obsess about everything on my previous cycles. Now I'm sorry. I know I'm 8 years older now than my last stim cycle but I only ended up with 1 good egg this time out of 7 follies. 4 of them were 20mm? I still ovulate lock clockwork naturally and have 5 days of EWCM (sorry if that's TMI).
I was on Synarel (twice a day), Gonal-F (300), Ovidrel for trigger, then Crinone (one at night). From reading some of your posts, I think I was under hormonised (I think I made that word up). During the cycle I had no side effects and thought that was great. Now, I'm questioning if that was because my dosage wasn't high enough?
My first stim cycle (1995 SIVF) I was on Lucrin (15 u?), Metrodin (3 amps?), Pregnyl (10000iu) for trigger then Pregnyl (2000iu) twice post procedure. The dosage was reduced though as I started to get sick. 20 follies and 10 eggs.
My second stim cycle (1997 - CityWest) I was on Synarel (twice a day), Metrodin (225), Profasi for trigger then Profasi (2000iu) every 3 days x 4 times post procedure. 22 follies and 10 eggs.
If anyone out there can help me about dosages etc, I'd really appreciate it before I meet with my specialist next week.
I am also thinking of changing clinics - anyone out there with Hunter IVF (affiliate of Monash) or Monash? I've had very positive feedback from HunterIVF about my situation as well as FertilityFirst (Hurstville is a bit too far to travel from here).
