CD13: Follistim Day 9 Response (Cycle #2)

Written by Arpee on July 20, 2008 – 11:59 pm -

The leading follicle last Thursday really grew and it is ripe for the picking!

I don’t have ultrasound image to show today though because in my excitement, I forgot to remind Dr H to print it for me.

Endometrial Lining = 7.1 -> 10.2 -> 10.5
Right Ovary = 10: 7, 6/3, 5/5, 4 -> 6: 11, 10/3, 8, 7 -> 5: 16, 15, 14/2, 10
Left Ovary = 9: 8, 7, 6/4, 5, 4/2 -> 5: 14, 10, 9, 8/2 -> 5: 20, 15, 13, 11/2
Estradiol = 91 -> 380 -> ?

(For those who are new here - You can go to Follistim response in the top tabs to see the tabulation of all my stats summary from both cycles.)

Dr H said she’ll print an ultrasound image tomorrow. Maybe, it will not show up as big anymore though since I injected Ovidrel this afternoon. She also mentioned that the other 3 next biggest would be candidates too. So potentially I will ovulate 1-4 eggs. Yaiikkks -potentially, quadrups?

So… we will be going in for our very first IUI tomorrow !!!

When I asked Dr H about the probability of conception for IUI, I initially got the “it depends on the quality of the egg”. I eventually got some quantity: 20-25%. This is about the same as the IVF success rates (live birth) they have for my age range.

We then asked about what the effect of SA low morphology to this probability and she said that post-count wash count was more important that morphology. The desired level is 10million count. I better go take care of the boys now. :)

Meanwhile, say a prayer for us!

Where Are You Buying Your Follistim?

Last month, I had my first cycle of Follistim. The Texas Fertility Clinic had a couple of brochures from different pharmacies where I could possibly get them from. One of the staff members though mentioned that I could get it at the lowest price at a certain pharmacy. Read more »
