Appointment 1.45pm.
I actually like Janet Brown the scanning lady now... not because she did anything special but I've got used to her.
My lining is good.
I still have 9 follicles growing! Well that is a real relief after last time... growing slowly but the nurse said this is better...
Next scan Friday.
Egg Retrieval probably Monday!

IVF2 : First follicle scan
1.30pm appointment today.
Had 4 days of 400iu of Puregon, also start second injection this evening, though forgot to ask how far apart these needed to be in time.
As for scan - Better result than when I started last cycle.
Left ovary - 2 follicles started (last cycle 1st scan there were 0)
Right ovary - 7 follicles started(last cycle 1st scan there were 3)
Think they were measuring about 1cm....(last time 11-12mm so about the same)
Wednesday appointment - 1.45pm
Friday appointment - 9am

Information on Drugs - Orgalutran® (ganirelix)
Orgalutran® is an innovative new product that reduces the time patients will be treated in IVF (in vitro fertilization) from 4 weeks to less than 2 weeks. As a result, patients given Orgalutran in the drug phase of their IVF program will have a much simpler procedure. Their exposure to drugs is reduced, as are the physical and emotional burdens associated with IVF treatment.
Shorter treatment duration makes treatment more convenient
Orgalutran prevents the premature rise in levels of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH), during specific infertility treatments such as IVF and ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). During stimulation of the growth of multiple follicles with gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a rise in LH at too early a time may have unfavorable effects on the eggs and the possibility of getting pregnant.
Two types of treatment regimens are being used to avoid an early rise in LH: Gn-RH-agonists and Gn-RH-antagonists (Gn-RH being gonadotropin-releasing hormone). Orgalutran is a Gn-RH-antagonist that has the ability to instantaneously shut down the body’s own hormone activity. It achieves immediately what Gn-RH-agonists can take 2-3 weeks to do, and is therefore only required during the final days of stimulation.

Information on Drugs - Puregon® (follitropin beta)
Puregon®, recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), is a pure gonadotropin widely used to treat infertility. The product was launched by Organon in 1996, the culmination of a 12-year research and development program.
Easy-to-use, flexible treatment of infertility with the Puregon Pen®, allowing tailored dosing
In women a course of Puregon treatment will stimulate the development of follicles in the ovary. Prior to IVF (in vitro fertilization), the ovaries are stimulated by Puregon so that several follicles develop to produce eggs. These can then be collected for fertilization in the laboratory. In infertile men a course of Puregon is indicated to create sperm cells and/or increase their number.
Puregon is available in various presentation forms, including vials, ampoules, and cartridges to use with a pen device. It can be administered at home, or in clinics by a nurse or doctor.
