NY4thtry--- 22 is low, but it might go up rapidly. Ghost always said that early low numbers were not always a bad sign! I am hoping to goes up! My fingers are crossed for you!


Hey Kelly what are the details of your EPP? How are you doing it? Are u on BCPs, are you testing for ovulation? I am very curious to see how our protocols differ and how they go for each of us.

NY -- Sad news...try to keep your chin up. You got very close and hopefully will get it to work next try. So frustrating!

Elida - Great beta!!!!


Kelly - Tell me you protocol -- I am dying to know!



So I had my follies measured today. We found out I had a bi-lobed ovary which explains some follies that have disappeared before. And maybe some that were not retrieved! YIKES! I guess its hard to see the other lobe.

So the right side is still just sitt'n and spin'n:

8, 9, 10 (my sonographer thinks they *might* be committed to growing)

Left side:

12, 13, 13, 14, 7

Estrogen is 350!

SO went 35 - 75 - 150 - 350

This is good as they want it to double or a bit more every two days!!!

So I am hoping to get those 4 on the left and maybe a couple more! And hoping we got some quality in here! As usual, another two days before I know more... Back on Friday!

Lynnie they are sending my calender to me in the mail. It will detail my protocol (i guess). I will get my meds tomorrow so i will at least know what drugs i will be on. I am on estrace 4mg per day. I think i will be on that until they have me bring on af with the progesterone then i will start the other meds. I think i will be using follistim, ganarelix, luveris (i think) and ovidrel.

Did they go up on your stims? At least the follies are still there and they haven't died off so maybe with enough juice you can get them all to grow. I sure hope so. I can't wait for the next update.
