I have been for scan today and i have 16 large follicles and a hand full of small ones so I am going in for egg retrieval on Wednesday, I am so nervous about this, it is very hard to think positive as me and my partner have been trying for 5 years for a baby. Any advice would be greatly received xxxxxx

Hi Jill

is this your first ivf and are you on long protocol?

i am both of the above and really scared about it all, how many weeks did u take the injections? I have to go in on friday as this is my 6th day for them to check everyhing , im only on 150 menopur so not sure if they up this dose or does it all depend on how you respond?

Good luck huni xx

Good luck!! Xx the egg retrieval takes a lot out of you especially if you have lots of eggs I had mine on the Monday and got 23 eggs and took the whole week off I had mine put back in the Friday make sure you have lots of rest after xxxx

Hi weemex,

Yes this is my first IVF and yes i am on long protocol, I was injecting for 5 and a half weeks. My dosage stayed the same but that might just of been because of how i was responding. I wish you loads of luck xxxx
