And My Response Sucks...

My E2 level yesterday after 3 days of stims was 410 which I didn't think was too bad (better than last time). The RE had me up my dosage though which worried me (I am now on the max my clinic allows). So, I was apprehensive to see what my follie response would be today. It's not good--it may even be worse than last time. I had 11 on the right (none bigger then 10 only 4 which she measured) and 5 on the left (only 2 which she measured). My lining is a dismal 4.3. Sigh....I'm so, so disappointed. There was no talk of cancel this time--probably because I've already used $5k in drugs. Of course, I'm stressed to the max though because few eggs=small chance of there being a normal one that develops correctly. I also don't understand how an antral follicle count as strong as mine can elicit such a crappy response. So down right now.

    Oh shit! I hope that you are still able to get a few good ones. Even if you just get enough to make one good embryo...fingers crossed!!!

    They gave me estridol suppositories when my lining was thin, they are pretty cheap too. That should help your lining....Hang in there girl!

    UGH. Just be patient, you never know what will happen between scans. Way easier said than done, I know. My lining was at a 6 shortly after starting stims and doubled to a 12 before retrieval. Lots of love.

    My numbers were not high either after only 3 days of stims. A lot can change I will be thinking about you! I totally understand your disappointment, we want and need all the eggs we can get because of the balanced translocation. Hang in there.

    Yeah try not to get too discouraged. It's still early. I am a low responder too so I understand the feeling. It sounds like you and I are at about the same point in our cycle. I just had my first sono today after starting stims.

    also, I know very little about this other than it exists, but is in-vitro maturation an option?

    I'm so sorry it's not going as you'd hoped. But as the other posters have said, it's still early and there are still options for ways to improve your response. Hang in there.
