Just curious, but what is the “concentration” of your lupron, and are you doing 10 units on the syringe (ie, .1 ml) twice a day?

I did the conversion on my first two IVFs where I had great follicle counts, fert & retrieval rates, etc..and I was shooting up 80mcg of lupron a day.

My most recent cycle they put me on 100mcg a day (25% more) and it was a dismal cycle until I dicked with my lupron and lowered it back down to 80mcg a day.

I sometimes wonder if it’s key to reduce lupron rather than increase stims?

Keep your head up. I am sure that is not easy with extra hormones circulating through your body.

I have some nun friends. I may be able to get some donations if you need them.

Well, shit. I was oversuppressed on Lupron, had to convert to a useless IUI cycle and try something else next time (Micro Lupron, then Ganirelix). I’ll be sending some healthy “get off your lazy asses” vibes to your follies from now until your scan tomorrow!

Ah bollocks and here was I worried about you overstimming. Wake up you follicles!

Argh! Is a textbook cycle too much to ask for? And I mean the ‘good’ example from the text book, not the other examples.

My E2 was low low low and it all worked out in the end – it just took longer. I think it was b/c they started with such a low dose b/c of the PCOS/OHSS fears. I’m just saying, it’s not over yet. (I’d have to check the archives, but I think my first two E2 readings were really low, then it rose slowly.)

I don’t have pie, but I do have brownines, if that will help. Seriously, I’m hoping that changing the dosage helps get your E2 up where it should be. Appendages crossed for you.

Oh, Alexa. That just sucks. At least they can generally do more about too low than too high (for PCOS patients especially, I would think?). I’m hoping you get a nice turnaround on the new dose.

I do think that upping the dose will kick those girls into action. Poor things – I guess they were so cowed by all of us thinking subduing thoughts at them they didn’t realize that now was the time to get back into action. So I will send lots of jumpstarting thoughts at them now. Go, girls, go!!!
