So Much for Optimism

I felt a lot like my cat this week, when she's all puffed up and confident. Now I feel like my cat when she slinks under the bed to hide.

All that certainty and bravado about how well this Follistim thing was going to go? Gone. After three days of stims, absolutely nothing in terms of follicular development. In a way, I'm not surprised: I had 2 weeks of luteal phase (with estrace), 1 week of BCP, 1 week of Ganirelix. Shut me down that long, and my ovaries just don't restart. Not surprisingly, this looks a lot like IVF Take 1.

Granted, if I get the 2 follicles I ended up with on that cycle, I'd be in a pretty good place for an IUI. Someone tell me not to take my leftover Femara to ramp things up...
