[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, I don't think I ever knew why the menopur was upped - I vaguely remember her telling me that the cetrotide was an "antagonist", and so to expect that the stims would be increased when I started the cetrotide. I do remember that the cetrotide was started when the follicles reached a certain diameter. Additionally, I remember her muttering about estrogen levels & trying to "make sure the estrogen matched" the number of follicles. I do vividly recall that the reason for all the menopur at the end was bc I took longer to stim than she expected & ran out of gonal-f. So last day of stims (day 10) she told me to just use up all of the menopur, which was all that I had left. I was kind of startled by that - didn't seem very scientific.

The whole time the doc seemed annoyed at me for not making enough follicles & then not responding well to stims. I didn't feel comfortable asking questions - just showed up & did what she told me to do & ran out of there as fast as I could. It was very strange and stressful & the whole thing passed in a haze. Though she got results, so I can't argue with that. I apologize for this long non-answer, and I hope that your new protocol works well.

P.s. My friend from work picked me up at the surgery center the day of the egg retrieval (adding to the stress, my husband was out of the country for work- the lab used a previously frozen sperm sample). My friend then dragged me to mcdonalds (yuck!) for lunch, and made me eat an egg mcmuffin in honor of the egg retrieval. She is 100% convinced to this day that the egg mcmuffin did the trick. So I guess that an egg sandwich after the egg retrieval can't hurt either![/quote]
