Hi all!

Deanna, thanks so much for the information. They have never mentioned antral follicle counts. Is that when they look at your follies on the first u/s, day 3? Do you know what an average or normal number of antral follicles is?

bq: congrats! You give me a lot of hope! What was your protocol on IUI and IVF? I have had 6 IUI's and am on #7 now... we plan to do 2 more then move on to IVF next summer....I was asking about protocol because I have heard mention of becoming immune to the drugs (they dont work as well after a while) and I am fearful that if we keep doing IUI's and wait until next summer, then my body would not react well when we go to do IVF. Does that make sense? Anyway, congrats to you!! How far along?

Krista: What is the antagonist protocol?? Don't give up, I am here with you. I found out recently myself, and it has been hard accepting that this is all ME. I understand what you are going through.

jptobe: What did they suggest for you when they told you about DOR? My doc suggested moving on to IVF but we can't afford it right now.

Best wishes ladies!!!
