Ladies on/or were on injectables

Last month I don't think I responded very well on my first round of Follistum. I o'd, but in the end only had three follies in total. The dr. says that's great, you o'd and there were at least two, but I thought I'd have more.

Yesterday (my 2nd cycle on Follistum, 5th iui in total) I had 8. I only hope and pray that they mature together and I have a few for the spermies.

Can I ask, do you remember how many follies you produced on the injectables?

and by the way...I have had cramps since yesterday and it's only day 6 of my cycle. I think this will be a very long cycle.

Re: Ladies on/or were on injectables

I never had more than 5 follies on injectibles in a given month But I did get cycts each month on injectables and decided to switch back to clomid. There really wasn't much of a difference for me between the 2

Re: Ladies on/or were on injectables

I had mixed reactions. I either overstimmed or produced somewhere in the area of six follies.
You don't want too many or they will cancel the cycle due to the risk of multiples. Usually somewhere between two and five is optimal.

Re: Ladies on/or were on injectables

On my first round with Follistim I had between 8-10 follies. Suprisingly my doctor went ahead with the IUI.

On the 2nd and third rounds I had between 3-5 which is what the doctor considered normal.

Re: Ladies on/or were on injectables

My first round of follistim resulted in 12 eggs. We were doing IVF so when we got the fertility report back we were told that 10 were mature.

Good luck!!!!
