I'm drinking water and herbal tea constantly now sammy. Thanks for the warning.

loopylou1984 · 25/02/2016 15:50

Boris I had 21 follicles, 18 eggs retrieved and got ohss. I seriously think it was a lack of water intake, so please drink as much as you can. I had no symptoms until after egg collection though, so thought I was fine. Drink milk too if you can! Xx

What was you AMH out of interest Boris? That might give you an idea of pcos or not?

Wow Boris, 35! I wasn't very good at paying attention to numbers and sizes of follicles but I have the number 21 in my head for some reason and I had 16 eggs collected and mild OHSS. I have pco so was on a low dose of Gonal-F (150) and only stimmed for 10 days as my egg collection was brought forward.

Great that you've got your scan tomorrow Sammy.

I've got 2 at 11 mm on one side and 1 at 11 mm and 1 at 10 mm on the other side. The rest are under 10mm so not measured.

What sort of sizes were they Boris? Are a lot of them small? For me I only ever get 8 follicles but someone with good fertility might have 15-20. Those with pcos tend to have a lot more but I'm sure they would have picked that up if you have it.

My clinic said in the info pack the average number of eggs retrieved was 10

Anything over 20 you're getting into hyper stimulation territory....

BorisIsBack · 25/02/2016 13:43

Just out of interest what would a more normal number of follicles be??

bananafish81 · 25/02/2016 13:38

Holy moly Boris!! I hope Reprofit will advise - might need your dosage dropped so your ovaries don't go off like rockets. You're an egg laying machine!!! Like sammy I am well jell of your lovely thick lining - cor!!!

BorisIsBack · 25/02/2016 13:38

I don't have diagnosed pcos although I sometimes think I might as I have some of the symptoms.

BorisIsBack · 25/02/2016 13:37

I'm thinking I should now set myself up as a human egg farm. Make some money back.

Wow 35 follicles Boris?!?! Do you have pcos? You are going to have to be very careful you don't get ohss with that many.

loopylou1984 · 25/02/2016 13:31

35 follicles Boris??! Wow! Make sure you're drinking gallons of water! 8mm - I'm so jealous. My lining is never that thick :(. Glad your on track though, keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

BorisIsBack · 25/02/2016 12:58

Banana Shock crazy. Hope you are ok.

Ok so scan was good. The sonographer said in on track. I think I understood her to say it shows lining at 8mm, 35 folicles growing 2 on each side growing more than the rest, at about 11mm each. She also confirmed that the fibroids are not going to cause me complications. And now I can breath again. I have to go back to work now and sit in a big formal meeting with the leaders of my company and try to be professional....

bananafish81 · 25/02/2016 10:54

Oh and I'm also with you on wishing I'd not worked out the cost of my stims jabs. At the start of my cycle it was £175 a night!!

I worked out that my Gonal-F was drop for drop more expensive than vintage champagne, at something like £233 per ml. Shock

loopylou1984 · 25/02/2016 09:43

And thanks Banana, love that! Xx

loopylou1984 · 25/02/2016 09:43

My baseline is booked for tomorrow at 1pm. Was surprised as they normally leave it later, but I guess they don't really want extras on a Saturday! Xx

bananafish81 · 25/02/2016 09:27

Good luck today Boris

And an extra hug to Sammy. Rosie the Riveter has been my IVF icon:
