My first post in the new forum.

I started my IVF Cycle.
CD 3 Ultrasound reveals a whopping 6 antral follicles. Not so great but what can I expect I am 40 going on 41 in May. (I had also read that being on Birth Control makes those antrals really tiny and they can be missed on U/S heres hoping for one or two more!)

FSH 6.6 LH 3.8 E2 <20 (from being on the pills)
Im doing Micro dose lupron because the last time I was on full strength lupron it supressed me so badly my E2 was not rising and threw me into a mini menopause. OMG the constant headache for 10 days almost killed me and the cycle cancelled to boot.

SO Micro dose is 10 units twice a day. First and second day horrible headache today not bad, I think because the follicles are growing and my estrogen is going up. (hopefully!)

Nurse said my retrieval should be the week of the 6th. She said they usually do 3dt for older women. Embies like the uterus better than a dish. Younger women they like to grow em out to blastocysts (5dt) as they are less fragile.

Gonal f 150units AM 225units PM

Menopur 75units AM (HOLY BURN)

Accupuncture once or twice a week depending on symptoms. I had an extra session yesterday due to the headache from hell.

Praying for a good egg! :D

    I forgot to tell you that Menopur burns :( It just does. :( Sorry. And I'm sorry about the headaches.
    Honestly, after you get your BFP you'll forget all about those injections and headaches. Well, okay, maybe not forget...but it is SO worth it. I'm very excited for you!
