Fellow IVFers - how long did you stim for?
I'm on day 8 of stimulation and they aren't big at all. I've been monitored every single morning with bloodwork and sonos from day 2.
I've been on 1 repronex and 150 follistism and 5 cc lupron every day for 8 days. This is my first cycle - is this high or low dosage?
Just trying to gauge my progress...TIA!
The only thing I know is I have a choc. cyst that is larger than any of my eggs :(
editing to add:
I"m 26, on my first cycle, petite in height and weight and have stage 4 endometriosis.

Re: Fellow IVFers - how long did you stim for?
I stimmed for 16 days....my follies were slow growers. Not sure if your dosage is right, because I was on Bravelle and 5 cc of lupron. Every couple of days after my bloodwork they would up my Bravelle....toward the end of the 16 days I was on 4 powder viles (originally started out on 1).
Good luck to you.

Re: Fellow IVFers - how long did you stim for?
Usually 14-16 days...on 450 Follistim and 150 Repronex
I'm obviously a slow and poor responder

I stimmed for 7 days - but I have PCOS, so we are dealing with the opposite problem - once mine start growing at all they take off and I end up with tons of eggs and hyperstimulation.

Re: Fellow IVFers - how long did you stim for?
Just got a call. I go back again tomorrow. They lowered my follistim by 30, but no big changes. I guess I'm just a bad/slow responder?
I wish my eggs would grow like my cysts do!

Re: Fellow IVFers - how long did you stim for?
I stimmed for about 15 days doses sound OK but everyone is different they may lower or higher this week depending on your numbers (I've done 3 IVF already) hang in there...good luck
