Dh had a low sperm count. last october 2004 we start our first attempt on our treatment but it has to be stopped due to producing over 40 small follicles and about to head up toward OHSS.

Hi there Victoria

Welcome to the boards. You'll soon settle in here, feel at home, and wonder how you ever managed in your previous non-board life !

People tend to post mostly on the General Forum. There are usually a few girls going through treatment each month, so they set up a thread for that particular month, so every can share their experiences/thoughts etc .. The current thread is called either "January" or "January/Feb" buddies - I can't remember .... you need to go back to the General Forum list of threads and scroll down. ... I'm sure they won't mind you joining them.

Forty follicles - gosh ! It's a wonder you didn't pop. Seriously though, you must have been in agony ? Last cycle I had about 22 I think, and felt terrible.

Fingers crossed for you this time :)
