Thanks Ghost - I started Ganerelix the same time in my last cycle. when one follie was 14, but my E2 numbers were consistently going up last time. I guess time will tell with this one.

thanks for your response.

Ghost -Question about E2 levels

I am a low responder on Day 12 of stims (Menopur only EPP). My E2 numbers are as follows: Day 6 – 28, Day 10 – 285, Day 12 – 204. I have 3 follies: 14, 12 and 11. The drop in E2 does not make sense to me, unless I am getting ready to ovulate on my own. Do you think this cycle is still salvageable? I ...

THanks for the reply - My RE did mention that he would like the cycle to be shorter than the last one which was 14 days.

Not sure how they are at freezing. Are those stats on SART? I have never produced enough to consider freezing so I have never paid attention to that.

Ghost Protocol Question

I am gearing up for cycle #5. My first 3 cycles were kind of wasted as the RE did not change protocols. First 2 were converted to iui, and I only ended up with one follicle that did not make it to transfer on the 3rd.

I changed RE's and had a much better cycle for #4. He tried EPP with high doses ...

Thanks so much for your response. I tried DHEA with cycle #3, took 75mg per day, for 3 months with no apparent affect.
I keep thinking that DE is the best option for us, especially since each failed cycle gets harder and harder to deal with emotionally. Kowning that my chances actually increase ...

Ghost, one more question

I asked you about the shortage of menpour the other day and wanted to say thanks for the reply.

I am on day 11 of stimming (my 3rd cycle of IVF). Still only 2 follies, one on each side, they are measuring 9 and 10… E2 doubled and is at 157

My last cycle was very similar to this and the follies ...

Question for Ghost

Hi, I am a poor responder on my 3rd cycle of IVF after 5 months on DHEA. I am currently on day 9 and only have 2 follies less than 7mm each.

I have been taking 4 amps of Brevelle and 4 amps of Menepour each day. It seems that there is a shortage of Menepour and none of the pharmacies in my area ...

Esperanza - I am sorry, but wanted to say don't give up yet... My situation is very different. heck they don't even know if I ovulated during this cycle and with dh's low motility, I really did not have a good chance.

You may have tested too early or your test may not be as strong and if it is in ...
