Do you know if they checked your LH throughout your cycle? I was reading through my file and during my two other cycles, both long protocol so lots of suppression from the get go, they only checked E2, at least that's all that's in my file. So I'm curious to know if they checked your LH, Dr.McT just keeps talking about starting the Cetrotide when my follicles reach 14mm and when I asked the nurse yesterday about checking my LH she just said we'd see where things were on Friday. I really hope they plan on checking it as every woman ovulates at different sizes dry.png

I don't think mine was checked.  Ours also had a policy of starting Cetrotide at 14mm.

 

GOod luck on your cycle!

On both my cycles my LH level was DEFINITELY checked  as part of my routine bloodwork every time I went in for a follicle check.

Thanks ladies for your resposes. From the places I've asked thus far it varies per clinic, so do some don't but I'll definitely be requesting it for peace of mind.

No mine wasn't checked until the day after my trigger shot to be sure I responded and produced an LH surge. I think it's smart to check it with each estrogen after a certain point. I'd sure want to know if I'd started to ovulate so I could pull out of the cycle and save the majority of the cycle cost. I'll be requesting it next time even though I don't think it was an issue with my previous cycle. More information never hurts..

Me -29 31 - unexplained poor egg quality.  I was told I had endometriomas.....but repeat ultrasounds at other clinics have said no sign of endometriomas. Maybe PCOS-like ovaries, but no PCOS - AMH, AFC are great. No one can explain why my eggs are so poor sad.png

DH 30 - severe teratospermia, count and motility are excellent.  

 

May 2014 - 2.5mg femara - BFN (ovulated night before)

June 2014 - IUI with 5mg femara - BFN (ovulated night before)

August 2014 -  IVF with ICSI - Antagonist protocol, 150Bravelle, 75 menopur, stimmed 8 days

                      - 19 follicles (all 15-22mm at trigger), 12 eggs retrieved, 7 mature,, 5 fertilized with ICSI sad.png

                      - only 7 mature eggs with an estrogen of 20000?! wtf?! Sigh...Freeze All

                       -only one BB Blast made it. Freeze "all" became "freeze one".  All others arrested between day 3 and 4 sad.png

 

January 2015 - FET of lone embryo  - c'mon little figher

                      - BFP!!! Beta 1 475 at 10dp5dt , Beta 2 - 1495 at 12dp5dt

Thanks watermelon, that was my thought too. I'll be asking on Friday if we can track it.
