I read your question and then looked at your profile and noticed you’re an egg donor! First let me say "Thank You". You are helping someone fill their dream of parenthood! What a kind and generous person you are!!

I wish I could answer your question, but all I know is years ago when I tried with my own eggs I responded very slowly so they increased my meds little by little. Slow is good, you don't want to hyper-stimulate.

Talk to the RE and ask lots of questions! Please keep us posted. I haven’t been active for months because I’m still waiting to do my last FET cycle, but I still keep an eye on what’s going on. I’d love to hear your outcome!

Allie -

I would like to reinforce Cheri's comment. Thank you for your help.

I also don't know the answer to your question. I do know that many women respond differently to the use of injectables. During my DE cycle, we actually a week window scheduled because of the variation between women. I would try to talk to the RE to get their impression. So long as you're taking the meds as directed, it isn't anything that you're doing.

Thank you again on behalf of another!

No one knows for sure....

You are an angel first of all. God bless you and thank you for helping people like me and many others. Everyones body reacts differently...at 33 on Clomid I made too many eggs and still did not get pregnant. (Male factor) At 38...my body just quit responding and my eggs just quit growing. For some this is an early obstacle and for others later and for even more...no issues at all. No matter what, if you produce one egg you will have your own baby one day and hopefully you will make enough to help some loving couple. You are special and thank you again.
