Getting nowhere - incorrect dosage

I’ve had two rounds of IVF so far. And haven’t got anywhere near transfer so looking for some advice and to see if anyone has experienced difficulty getting the drug dose right?

First round, I was given 150 menopur and the last two days my does was increased to 300. At egg collection they got only took 4 eggs, however there were lots of smaller immature follicles. Unfortunately none of the 4 mature were fertilised.

Second round they said they would increase to 300 menopur straight away. All looked like it was going well and on track for 10+ eggs for collection then my bloods came back with increasing high levels. They coasted me for 2 days but then decided to cancel my egg collection at the risk of OHSS. They didn’t want to freeze the eggs either as they would have been coasted for four days so would be mature but starved of menopur.

I’m waiting for a doctor to call me and discuss what happened. My round was cancelled on Friday so it’s frustrating not to hear any advice back yet. The nurse said I will have to wait a few months before starting again. Which suggests 3 long months wait. Is this right?

Has anyone had this issue with getting the dosage just right?

I naively thought this was the easy bit.

I had 24 follicles in the end and they didn’t stop my cycle, maybe they are really sensitive to ohs being triggered? Be interesting to see what the plan is for your next cycle. I had an iui cycle cancels due to ohss and had to wait a while to start again, cycle cancelled sept and started again and had transfer in Nov x
