30 follicles CD 3 - started stims today

Could anyone further along in the process advise whether they have experienced this? I’m starting to get anxious that I am going to be over stimulated really quickly and the whole cycle will be ruined.

I have 15 follicles on each side, How many follicles is too many? I don’t have PCOS

@honey1989 I have 33 follicles! I was on a really low does of bemfola and cetrotide and had to have bloods taken everytime I went for a scan! It was going well until the last blood test when my hormones went to high and had to trigger using buserelin and not a hcg trigger and had freeze all due to risk of OHSS I got 16 eggs 15 mature 9 fertilised and 3 made it to day 5 and two were frozen at day 3 which I will be allowing to go to day 5 for my 2nd fet on the hope that are of good quality

Hope that helps xx

I had about this many. I was on a lowish dose of Gonal F(250) and was already planned to have Buserelin as trigger and freeze (because I was having genetic testing). I drank 3 litres of water every day and never became uncomfortable. I ended up with 27 eggs, 25 mature, 19 fertilised and 15 at day 5 (11 didn't have the gene we tested for). I was fine and recovered super fast.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
I was wondering how you were getting on?
Do you know when you'll be able to do the FET? X

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 03/09/2019 08:28

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted I was thinking the same about you! Yes I am starting my medicated fet on Thursday of this week so hopefully transfer will be on about 4-5 weeks depending on af! When are you starting your next round must be soon? Xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
I'm good I start stims end of next week hopefully but will be doing a freeze all as we have decided to do PGS testing this time

If we get any through PGS testing then I don't think we ll be able to transfer until early November at earliest

Did you do another full cycle with Create or are you just going into another FET?

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 03/09/2019 08:48

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Not to long for you to get started then! Did the clinic advise you to do that testing?

No we are just doing another fet we’ve got 4 Frosties 2 day threes which we will be defrosting and letting them go to day five and hopefully they will be good quality and one will be used and the other refrozen if they not good quality then we will use one of he two remaining day 5’s we have!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
PGS testing is the only thing we haven't ticked off now so it was sort of a natural progression - we always said we would do one cycle without and then would consider it on the next one and Create agreed with that

We talked through lots of other tests like karyotyping and sperm dna fragmentation but as DH has been on pre conception for so long they said no point on the DNA one
As the treatment is the same as what's in the vitamins. Also me changing my supplements to Proceive Max has on the face of it made a big difference

I am terrified about PGS though as seen so many posts where they all came back abnormal and it's still a relatively new science x
