Dr. Potter --- do you think you can help me?
I will try to make this brief. I am in the middle of the second IVF/PGD cycle and it looks like this one may be cancelled. With my first round, we did Long Lupron and used HMG to stim, at doses of 300-375 IU QD. I had 12 follicles the day of trigger, but yielded only 3 mature eggs at ER. Those 3 eggs did fertilize and grow and I transferred 1 fair quality XX. There was never a definitive answer as to whether I ovulated prematurely or WHAT happened. For this cycle, I was changed to the antagonist protocol and stimmed with Follistim 375 IU and Menopur 75 IU QD. I began Ganirelix on day 8. I've had 10 follicles all along, with 1 lead follicle. My E2 was 400 after 4 days of stims, and only 590 after 7 days of stims. Day 8 progesterone was 1.7, so Ganirelix was began. As of this morning (day 9), the lead follicle is GONE on u/s. Won't have a definitive answer as to what is going on until the E2 and progesterone from this morning come back, but it sounds to ME as if I have ovulated that lead follicle. --- Updated: E2 was 682 and progesterone was 2.59. Cycle cancelled.
All that being said…do you think I have any shot of being successful with a cycle with you? I am definitely changing REs after this happening a SECOND time. I don't believe I should have ovulated ONCE during an IVF cycle, much less TWICE. I no longer have faith in my RE but I am not sure I should have faith in my body at this point either.
Any advice? :confused:
