fun with e2

i'm waiting on today's level, which is likely to be in excess of 6,000. how can this be, since i stopped stims yesterday and am essentially coasting? because this morning there were 45 (!!!!) follicles between 10 and 18. i had 30 on the right (up from 18 follies two days ago)
2--18
4--17
1--16
2--15
2--14
and a bunch smaller.

the left, which had 8 two days ago, has 15.
2--17's
2--15's
2--14's
1--13
1--11
6--10's
1--9

they are going to call me tonight with the plan, but i picked up an ant.agon shot...has anyone ever used this to lower e2?

at least no one mentioned cancellation which i am of course really worried about. ptu! ptu! ptu! ward off the evil eye.

--------------
i actually mostly feel ok except my abdomen feels bloated and tender. like, when my right heel hits the floor when i'm walking, i can feel it in my right lower abdomen. same on the left. also the weight gain, and general slovenliness. but i'm trying not to complain or say anything because i DONT WANT THE CYCLE *whispers* cancelled . PLeasE! i don't even know if i can explain how devastated i would be. :(

I am usually a reader, not a commenter, but Holy Follicles Batman! During my last cycle I did use antagon to slow down my overachieving follies. Hopefully the plan stays on track and there is no cancellation.

In a short-stim cycle, antagon is used to prevent ovulation while letting the follicles grow some more. I used it in my IVFs and DE cycle.

Your ovaries are quite busy. Make sure you keep hydrated to ward off any OHSS symptoms.

Are you in any pain? I had one follicle and I felt puffy and sore. I don't argue that I am a wimp - but Holy Cow Woman - 45!!!
