Stressed not responding to menopur as well as i should

[Lyn84]

Had my scan yesterday my follicles aren't big enough for collection so have to have another scan on monday they said to carry on menopur over weekend but i don't have enough menopur for tomorrow so am stressing my follicles won't be big enough for monday and to top it off i messed up my dosage last night and couldn't correct it with me having no spare medication after the disaster with my injections last night i broke down crying to my partner as I've lost all positivity I don't know how any of you find the strength to go through this over and over again especially so quickly I thought i was feeling quite strong but the last few days have been hard between the side effects and things not going smoothly

Ahh Lyn, this whole process really is a rollercoaster of emotions as well as the physical ups and downs. Sorry to hear you were feeling so down yesterday.

Are your clinic open today? Could you try calling them to get some more menopur?

Every time I’ve been at the stage of the first scan I’ve needed to carry on for another two or three days then another scan before I was ready for egg collection. I think it’s pretty normal and the first one is to just check progress.

Try and hang in there, you’re nearly at the final stage and doing amazing to get this far. It’s ok to be finding it tough though, it is a difficult, draining process but with the support of your partner and us on here you can do this 💪🏻

Hi Lyn, it’s such a roller coaster isn’t it. I completely ran out of cetrotide one evening -i’d been so fixated on running out of menopur- and had even been at the pharmacy to collect more menopur that day!- that I hadn’t even looked at how many cetrotides I had left 🙈. I managed to get some that same evening.

Try phoning your clinic as they will be able to help you out. I felt so embarrassed doing it but the nurses were great and said it does happen- but do get it sorted.

Lots of luck, hang on in there, you can do it xxx

So sorry you’re feeling stressed, it’s a really emotional time for you and the hormones don’t help with how you’re feeling. It does get better I promise. I didn’t respond that well, I ended up having 4 scans before I was ready for collection, but they collected 12 eggs in the end. I know it’s hard but just trust that they know best and want you to have the best chance possible. I agree with Franco can you ring the clinic and get some more medication? You’ve done so well so far just keep going it will all be worth it xx

Hey your clinic should have some Menopur in hand you can buy off them. Give them a buzz first thing x

Hi lovely. I'm sorry to read you're having a tough time. It's a bliming rollercoaster of a ride isn't it?

I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry about the size of your follicles. My clinic want me in for scanning after 6 days on menopur (which will be monday) and then the following Wednesday and Friday. I thought it was pretty normal to have several scans before EC. 🤷🏼‍♀️

With your medication running low I would give your clinic a quick call. Mine asked me how much buserelin I had left as had a few extra days of injections and they said they could top me.

Sending you a big hug 😘 you've got this lovely. Be proud of how far you've come x x x x x x x

You're full of hormones and its a stressful process at the best of times. These logistic problems can seem insurmountable but they're probably not, you're just lacking the emotional energy to deal with this right now - quite naturally!! Can you delegate your OH to get on the case and contact the clinic to try and chase up some extra doses while you focus on yourself a little bit?

My brother saved the day and picked me up more as my partners car broke down last night
