I went for a blood test and a scan this morning. The nurse rang back with the results around 12pm to tell me that my body was just not responding to the higher dose of puregon, and that Dr Lok couldnt understand why this was the case.
At this point (day 12 Puregon), I should be growing numerous amounts of follicles (around 16) that should be around 16mm in size. Instead i had a low number (3 or 4) that where tiny in size (under 6mm).
She quizzed me on how i was taking the injections, what time i was taking them, if they were being stored in the fridge etc. and was completely baffled as to why my body hadnt responded. This is very unusual as i am considered "young", and pretty much i should be ready for an Egg PickUp because i have been doing everything correctly, but clearly i am not.
I need to take Puregon for another two days and go in for a blood test on Tuesday morning. If the tests show no signs of growth (to the sizes they need them) then this IVF cycle will be cancelled.
I have spent the day crying about it, feeling pretty sorry for myself. Dh has been lovely and understanding, but i just feel he really doesnt understand the implications of it for me :(
Needless to say, today was a pretty devastating day for me.
