Thanks for the response Ghost! Yes have one frostie, but the nurse stated to me over the phone that the RE would prefer me to do the stimulation again. I assume because of the risk of the frostie not surviving the thaw. Plus wouldn't I have to prep my body for pregnancy again with the progest. and ...

Johanna,

I used Lupron 10units for 18 days than dropped to 5units for 8 more days before taking my final trigger shot 36 hrs before Egg Retrieval. It all depends on your blood tests and how your eggs are developing. I had 12 follicles and 11 were retrieved. How many follicles do you have? They ...
