First scan - Day 7 - One good follicle on the right and 3 smaller ones on the left. I know I should be happy I've at least got some follicles ... But damn I'm disappointed there isn't more. Here I am thinking I needed to worry about OHSS and it turns out I'm a low responder! So the FS has doubled my dose to 300ui of Puregon and I start the antagonist tomorrow morning.
Honestly ... All week I've felt a little tender and swollen, so naturally I've been imagining all these little follicles growing and competing for space down there, and instead I find one camped out in it's own private penthouse and 3 others snoozing on the job next door! Where's the party that's meant to be going on in my ovaries??? Next scan is on Friday and I'm just hoping and praying these follicles find their friends and fatten up real fast otherwise we've just flushed a shit load of money down the toilet.
On a side note ... I am unaware of puregon having any documented side effects that cause one to become suddenly vague, forgetful and/or seemingly unaware of what you're doing half the time ... But this is how I've been for the past week. On Monday morning, after attending Scout's nan's 86th birthday party the night before, someone else's leftovers mysteriously appeared on the passenger side car floor where I'd been sitting the night before. People had been searching for these leftovers at the party right before we left and we discover them the next day in our car on the floor where I was sitting ... Weird ... And embarrassing. How we managed to drive the hour home with Chinese in the car and not smell it I have no idea. Then yesterday I lost both my pen and mobile phone in a shop and when I went back they were randomly sitting on a chair somewhere. And today I left work, drove home and discovered confidential documents that aren't meant to leave the building sitting on the passenger seat! I am starting to get a little concerned that I'm loosing the plot! And that's all since I've been on 150ui of Puregon - I'm alittle scared what 300ui is going to do to me. The last thing I need right now is to be driving off without paying for petrol or leaving my kids somewhere! I need eggs from this stuff, not a ticket to crazy town.

holy forgetfulness, that sounds like such an interesting experience. sorry your ovaries aren't doing as their told, but as we all know, it only takes one good one to get prego. crossing my fingers that the increased meds work well!
