Follicle Scan
Posted on: Sunday, July 13, 2008
As always, I have another three days of injections to go prior to the trigger.
Seeings how I was using Clomid instead of Synarel I have to take two extra injections of Orgalutran (antagonist) to avoid premature ovulation. I think from memory (from what my doctor said) the Synarel inhibits your pituitary gland whilst the clomid stimultates it. I’m still on the Gonal-F as usual though – but a smaller dose of only 300iu per day. One good thing I may not have mentioned earlier is that I did not have the contraception pill with this cycle. They’ll call me today with my trigger time … such excitement! This is how it looks this cycle.
Day 1 …
Day 2 …
Day 3 … 2 Clomid tablets
Day 4 … 2 Clomid tablets and 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 5 … 2 Clomid tablets and 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 6 … 2 Clomid tablets and 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 7 … 2 Clomid tablets and 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 8 … 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 9 … 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 10 … 300iu Gonal-F injection
Day 11 … 300iu Gonal-F injection and Orgalutran injection
Day 12 … 300iu Gonal-F injection and Orgalutran injection
Day 13 … Trigger (July 13)
Day 14 …
Day 15 … Egg Pickup (July 15)
Day 16 …
Day 17 … Embryo transfer (July 17 – fingers crossed!)
Oh, and I forgot to say the most important bit! I have six follicles on one side and three on the other. Let’s see if egg quality is improved.

Great lot of follicles. I was on the Orgalutran this time too.
Hope the trigger goes well and the eggs are top quality.

That is an impressive number of follicles. I will be keeping everything crossed for you this round.
Good luck!!
