Hi ladies

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me out I'm on my first cycle of ivf day 5 of stimming was taking 350ml of bemfola and to start 250ml of cetrotide tonight I had bloods this morning and my nurse messaged me saying to up my bemfola to the max of 450ml as my estrogen is still low I'm booked in to have my first scan on Friday and she said we will know more then I didnt get a chance to ask her my levels or anything else, has anyone else had this happen what should I be expecting I'm now starting to think all the worst things will it end in a cancelled cycle. I know the first round is such a trial and error but I have no other known problems except low amh for my age of 28 it's at 14% we have Male infertility factor I guess I was just hoping our chances of it all going to plan first go would be good please let me know your thoughts

Hi SME1. Just to say I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you have improved by Friday. They may leave you another couple of days if you haven't, otherwise it could be that you need to try a different protocol. Thinking of you, and let's hope all goes well. Diane
