Follistim success-anyone care to share? have questions

[erica75]

was on 200mg of clomid and didnt respond very well, did produce 16 total follies. they were very small so RE put me on 150iu of follistim to help with the growth. started my 1st shot on cd12 and will be done on cd18. have another scan on Feb 8th, which will be cd20. my biggest follies were 6 and 4. do i have good chances that they will grow to where they need to be in 7 days? anyone have small ones like me? i'm hoping for 2-3 to improve my chances. dh has very good sperm count of 646mill with 84% mobility, which me RE said that was outstanding and does improve my chances alot. i have no problems with my tubes or have no cysts, thank god. anyways just been wondering off and on about all this and hope everything goes good. if my scan looks good then i will get the trigger shot and bd that night and thursday. i've read alot of different things about whether you can ovulate all the time with getting the trigger shot. soo confused and just need to hear some good success stories to make me feel like theres hope for me. this is my 1st cycle but i know it can still happen. SSBD to all, congrats to all the BFP and for the BFN stay strong and have faith it will happen. thank you for anyone that can share their story or give me any comments...

I had really good luck getting my folicles to grow with follistem. I've used it for two cycles. I believe I was on 225 per day and got some as large as size 17 and 18. Good luck to you. I hope you get your BFP soon!

Hi everyone.

I've recently turned 32 and had my ET on Thursday 26th January 2012.
I haven't had any medical issues to be the cause of my infertility, and I just sense that my body is a bit lazy and needed a helping hand.

So, I had a day 3 transfer of 2 '4+6' cell embies, with my day 14 being the 8th February 2012 when I've been told to test on. I am on day 13 post transfer.
For the past week I've been feeling occasional cramps and pains around my stomach area accompanied with fleeting dizziness. The headaches are the worst part, I've had a headached non stop for the past few days, managing it with yoga and x2 paracetamol. I should add that throughout this 2ww I've been super tired and irritable. While these could be period symptoms as well as pregnancy the suspense has been killing me so I took at HPT on day 9 post ET and it was negative. Yesterday morning when I went to the toilet first thing, there was a slight pink shade to my urine on the tissue (not had anymore spotting / shading since), so this morning the devil in me forced me to do another HPT, which again was negative.
I feel too embaressed to call the nurse and get reassurance because I feel that I have done really badly with the 2 HPT's which I was told not to do until the 8th February.
As to whether I 'feel pregnant', I can't say, I've never been pregnant before to know how it feels to feel pregnant, but I will say that I do feel changes happening in my body, my breast have been changing in size and colour (areola) and my nipples have been very sensitive.

I have driving myself nutty reading, reading and more reading from this and other sites to get see if anyone else has been experience similar mental and emotional struggles?
