I just read...OK, I am not stalking you, I promise! I just read several of your older posts, including your first one. <BR/><BR/>So we did Antagonist with our 1st cycle, but we used BCP's. Lead follicles, converted to IUI. Then we did Lupron Flare and had worse results, again with BCP's. This last round, we did estrogen priming (just took estrogen pills) with antagonist, and had better luck. <BR/><BR/>They think the BCP's suppressed me too much. <BR/><BR/>It also takes me forever to ovulate after an IVF cycle.

Hopefully we'll both have some luck before the end of the year, and have that too.<BR/><BR/>The meds are what kills me. Our center has this "shared risk" program which we are in. We paid $23,500 (number etched in my brain), and that covers four tries. Our two cancelled cycles aren't included because we didn't get to retrieval. That covers everything but the meds. Which, have been between 2-3 grand a cycle. Sucky! <BR/><BR/>I have TONS, I mean TONS of needles left because my dosages were so high. And now, I'm starting from scratch on the meds.Paula Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545620300368378897noreply@blogger.com
