Longest cycle ever...going crazy!

[jla018]

Has anyone else ever experience this? How did it work out?

I was due for my egg retrieval this past Monday, but my follicles are not growing fast enough on the right side.
I've now been on the Gonal-F for almost 2 weeks and the Lupron for about a month and am super physically uncomfortable!

Apparently, they are being super cautious, since last time, I almost went into OHSS and all of my eggs arrested.
They've had me on 10 units of Lupron with no decrease the entire cycle. The Gonal-F started off low dropped to almost nothing and then shot back up to the highest dose. I am going nuts. I have been in for frequent monitoring almost every day since labor day. Now, the follicles on my left side at all set, but the ones on the right are still only at 13!

I am scared they will cancel the cycle or that my eggs will arrest again.

So, if you have been through this and it has worked out, please let me know! I need some hope!

Thanks! /vent over/

During my two fresh cycles, they were both extended by a day or two and I was definitely uncomfortable. I can just imagine how uncomfortable you are right. I just wanted to say that I hope it isn’t too much longer for you but I understand why they are taking it slow to prevent OHSS. Sorry I couldn’t add more but I just wanted to send some support your way.
