Hi all
Jackie can't believe you have such good weather. It's not fair. :( It is absolutely miserable here. We have had nothing but rain for days and STILL we have a hosepipe ban ! Hoping the days are passing a bit more quickly for you. When is AF due?

Good luck to Jen with EC on Thursday. Fingers crossed for you

Nothing to report from me. Just waiting for a donor to be found so I can stop bc pills and start oestrogen patches. I imagine this won't be for a couple of weeks yet. How do you make the days pass more quickly? Any suggestions?

PMA to all
Bye for now

high estrogen small follicles

Post by wescat »

Hi - I've also had an issue getting my follicles to grow. For the longest time they were about 11mm and my estrogen about 200. was about to cencel cycle but upped my dose of gonal f to 150 and my estrogen has been climbing since - 800, then 1030. doctor was very encouraged and hoped to see mature follicles start to appear, but depite all this estrogen my follices haven't grown - about 3 on each side -the b iggest is 12. Been stimming for 3 weeks now. Anyone had the same or any ideas???

Hi Wescat, welcome to this thread!
Sorry to see your news. I'm afraid I don't think I can help you with your question. My dr only let me stimm for 10 days and my oestrogen was so low they cancelled my cycle. Reading posts on the forum it is clear that drs have different views and everyone responds differently to the meds. How big does your dr want the follies to be before they will go for EC?
I'm sure someone here will read your post and be able to offer some advice. Good luck with your tmt

Hi to Jen, Jackie, MLG, Dizzie and Rachel, hope all is well

hi anna - thanks for your reply. Yes - i gues doctors all have different views - it's all very confusing. I spend half my time on google trying to figure it all out for myself! he wants my follicles to be at least 18. I just find it so bizarre that they haven;t grwon despite the estrogen - i keep thinking the nurses mustn't be looking properly (wishful thinking!). Sorry to hera about your cancelled cycle and thanks for your well wishes.

Hi everyone,

I just started vacation. I am off for the next week. I will work in the yard and relax before AF comes. Then I will start the journey again.

I am going to get my hair cut now. I will check back with everyone later.

Have a great day.

Hi Ladies, hope all OK with everyone today.
Jackie, you sound full of PMA and very relaxed! Enjoy your vacation. I too am on holiday this week. It's great not to be at work. Am planning lots of time with friends and family. The weather is looking up, at last!!

Jen how are you? Hoping all went well with ET and you are resting. It really does only take one. Your little embie sounds like a fighter. Everything crossed for you x

Wescat, how are you? Are you still stimming? Hope those follies do their thing and grow, grow , grow!! Best of luck.

Hi all,

Another great day here. Sunny and 85!! Sure am enjoying my week off.

DH is laying on the couch being a bum, but I guess that's what vacations are for.

Anna,

What do you have planned for your holiday? Hope your weather behaves for you.

Jen,

I hope you feel better soon and the time passes by quickly. Good luck to you!! :D

Wescat,

Let us know how you are stimming. I hope they grow, grow, grow for you!!

I start AF on Friday( I hope) and we will begin the BCP's.

Good luck to all,

Jackie

Hi all, how is everyone today?

Jackie, I am so jealous of your weather. The sun is trying to shine here but failing miserably! Not that it is stopping me enjoy my holiday. Hoping AF behaves and arrives as planned. Am doing a jig for you!

Jen, hope you are Ok and are feeling a little less icky. Fingers crossed for you and your little embie.

Wescat, any news? Are those follies behaving themselves?

As for me..... I took my last bc pill this morning. Now waiting for Af. I will then use oestrogen patches to prepare my lining, then it's back to Barcelona for ET. Trying not to get too excited! Am off to the gym today and meeting friends for lunch, just wishing the days away!!!

Hugs to all here
bye for now
