I think you are doing a cycle much like my doctor was going to do with me. They told me that when your estrodial gets to a certain point, you start the Ganirelex to keep you from ovulating too early, and you continue the stims so that they can get the folicles to a nice healthy size. Sounds like things are going just like they are supposed to, Good luck!
I started my IVF on Friday and by Wedensday, I was using Ganarelix too for the same reason as you. I had 18 retreived, 17 mature and 15 fertilized-I wish you LUCK!!!
Thanks girls!!! I just got BW today E2 is 980. I still continue stims and Gan. But I only had 2 follicles over 10 (12 and 13) as of Yesterday am. I go again tomorrow am. The nurse said don't worry- they start popping up and growing really fast. Is this true? Did you have 18 big follicles to get 18 eggs?
Thanks!
Sounds like we are on the same cycle almost. This is my first IVF. I am on day 8 of stims. I started taking synarel (prevents ovulation) before I started injections and continue with it during stims until harvesting. My BW/US yesterday was in the 1900's for estrogen and there were 11 follicles in total they are watching around 12mm. Sounds like you are progressing well. My RE said it is a longer slower process --to expect 16-18 days of stims until harvesting. When I did IUI it was 10days of stims. Good luck to you!
