Question Dosage change questions??

I had an ultrasound today- it is day 7 of stims. They changed all my doses around just wanted to see if anyone thought it was normal?

I have been on 225 follistim, and 10 to 20 low dose hcg (did bcp's instead of lupron)

Only have one ovary, but all follicles he measured were between 15-17. (I think there are 7 or 8 of them). So they are having me add in ganirelix today, and up my Follistim to 300, and low dose hcg staying at 20. Tomorrow they split my follistim to 150 in the am and 150 in the pm?? Is this normal for this portion of the schedule? Tentative retrieval is Wednesday.

Thanks in advance!!
And good luck to all waiting for results!!

My RE did the same thing but he lowered mine because he didnt want to overstim me. He lowered me from 300 Follistim to 175 and from 2 vials of Menopur down to 1 half way through my stims. Sounds like your RE wants to give you an extra boost before retrieval. Good Luck
