Hi Ladies,
I received a call today from my doctor that my donor freaked out a bit today at her appt, worrying that she is being over-stimulated. Another Dr. was covering today for my regular dr and when she was told she has 55 follicles she got very upset. She is habing her rerieval Saturday so we are close to the finish line. My regular doctor who I trust very much told me, she is absoultely fine and "She has 55 follicles but only about 20 are growing well.Her estrogen was about 4500 but cannot be avoided in someone with a baseline follicle count of over 80. She is very fertile and he assures me that is not out of the ordinary she will be ok, because they are triggering her with Lupron rather than HCG, and that tremendously diminishes any risk of hyperstim.
So... anyway, I called my agency and they told me they spoke to her and she seems ok now, but of course I feel worried and upset. She is going in again tomorrow to see my regular Dr. ( he will be in office) and then will trigger. It seems she might of been thrown off that there was a covering Dr., and feels bloated and uncomfortable. After all my IVF's I know a few days before retrievel is the hard part. She has done one other cycle before, (in the Fall) but this one seems harder for her. Anyone dealt with this before? Just when I thought all was going well. I'm worried, but Dr assured me this happens from time to time, and he thinks it will be ok, and she will pull thru. Sigh.
Any words of wisdom appreciated...
