Could you be producing high numbers of low quality follicles, and the meds just help you produce low numbers of high quality ones? That's just a random stab in the dark. The fine line that balances these meds is so tricky... Good luck to you!

Lupron will suppress your follicles and prevent you from ovulating. I don't know much about Follistim, but I think it stimulates follicle production and also helps them to mature before being fertilized..I would phone your doctor, I'm sure he could answer this better. I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about.

A REs primary concern, as I'm told, is to get the best quality follies like MsH was talking about. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Are they 14 low quality vs. 2 high quality? I know a few women that got pg on only 2 good follies. My RE also says that he wants low numbers concerning follies. Now this might just be my RE but the more follies the higher chance at large multiples and no RE likes that. Lots of risks and complications. Try to keep positive, it only takes one - seriously - and don't be afraid to tell your RE "I don't understand." Best thing I ever did!

My Dr will not keep me on Lupron for more than 5 days. I have done 20 units each night since Friday, and tonight is my last night. I am also taking 300mg of Bravelle and 300mg of Menapur daily, so I don't know if too many meds is the reason? Ask the reason behind lupron for so many days. . .good luck to you!
