I have seen the RE twice now without updating...shame on me. I will update by appointment:
Tuesday Sept 1st:
Still have those follicles hanging around, now they measure in and around 14mm, keep meds the same Tuesday, Decrease Gonal F to 150IU and Increase Repronex to 150IU Wednesday, return for another check on Thursday.
Thursday Sept 3rd:
Still 20ish follicles, now measuring 17-18mm on average, some lagging at 13, some ahead at 20,21. Decrease Gonal F to 75IU, increase Repronex to 225IU, return for another check on the growth tomorrow.
So I will update here again tomorrow. I am suspicious that they will trigger tomorrow night for a Sunday retrieval....this came SO FAST...the first part of the IVF goes so slow, but once the stims came it happened so quickly.
I am also suffering some mild OHSS already, so I have been drinking the gatorade like its going out of style, they also said to drink a lot of water and eat salty foods, so I have been trying. I have bloating, and my ovaries are very sore. I think with action on this now, hopefully we can have it gone or prevent it from really getting any worse by retrieval.

Hope you can get the OHSS under control - coconut water has more electrolytes than gatorade, so you could always give that a try. It has less sodium though than gatorade (but also less sugar).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with trigger and retrieval :)
fingers crossed that you keep the OHSS at bay and that things go well!!!! cant wait for your updates!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, good luck, good luck! I am so hoping you are puking over pregnancy and not IVF meds very soon!!!
