I know I posted this earlier but I hope some of you girls get back on today. How much of each stim have you girls been using. I am looking for a rough estimate just in case my insurance doesn't cover any of them.

Thanks!!!

Only three people that I know of have started stims with this trial. Melanee was on 75IUI of Gonal-F/75 IUI of Menopur daily. I think Heather was on 150 IUI of Gonal-F and 150 IUI of Menopur daily. I don't know what the other Heather was on (it might be in her siggy). I will be on 225 Gonal-F in the morning and 150 IUI Gonal-F in the evening/75 IUI Menopur in the evening (Stimming usually lasts around 10 days). Everyone is going to be different, so I don't know what to tell you unfortunately .

Oops! Marcia and Tomeka also have been on stims. Not sure Tomeka is monitoring this thread anymore, but Marcia probably is.

Thanks Janice!!
The ring is not bad, I can't even feel it at all. I put the first one in today at CORM and then Maryanne and Serena checked to make sure it was in properly and they had us watch a little movie about it and thats it! I will replace it next Tuesday and then a week after that on Tuesday again. So basically you change it every 7 days. They will also have me take it out before the egg transfer on Saturday as well and then afterwards I will put it back in.

Melanee - Holy SMOKES! Congrats on your Embabies!!!!!

Ok call me crazy, but I thought we were not supposed to let Serena or Maryanne know we have it... Is it still considered a single-blind study if they know? I agree - I think I would like the ring too - less mess...icky!
