Need to take a break...
I just got off the phone with the NP at the RE's office and they have said the blood work came out okay, the estrogen level is at 501 which she said was good (although I don't believe her) but they want to back off on the Bravelle a bit. So, new stim/injection changed to 3 Bravelle, 2 Menopur and 1 Ganrilex (sp?) for the next couple of days. Took at minute to ask her about the follicles; 3 on one side and 2 on the other which is only 5 total. What gives? She advised that it would be extremely surprising to see anymore pop up with this cycle and that they would cancel it if there were less than 3. How depressing...I really just want to throw in the towel on this one, get a pack of cigarettes and throw caution to the wind.

Hang in there, you never know what can happen. You can\'t get stressed out at this point. Try and think positively, I know its hard. I will pray for you!

I am sorry it is frustrating, miracles do happen. Hoping for the best for you.
hold on sweetie, please be patient most of the times when we feel a cycle is not going to work and we want to give up we end up pregnant. So hang in there and relax, I know it\'s easier said than done but try your best.
I am sorry. A few more could pop up between now and ER day. It has happened to me a few times. But, if you do have 5 there is still a chance. I know women on here who got pregnant with less so it does happen and can happen for you. This whole process is draining. Try to take good care of yourself. I will keep you in my prayers!
I am late coming in to read and comment, and it seems you have found support in people who have more knowledge in IVF than I do (having no experience in it yet)...
As difficult as it is to stay positive... try focusing on those folicles and send them some good vibes!
