Had / have a bit of a scare since yesterday. After the ultrasound yesterday, the dr instructed me to start the Ganirelix today (5/7). However, later in the day yesterday I had an egg-whitish discharge and suddenly felt like all the swelling had gone down. Typical signs of ovulation. Ganirelix is a drug to keep me from ovulating and hold on the follicles as they increase in size. Of course its the weekend and its not really an emergency because if it did happen they can't really do anything about it.
I posted a question in the IVF group on Facebook and several other woman have had this happen and they did NOT ovulate. They said the discharge could be because of my rising estrogen levels. My estrogen level did skyrocket in the last few days so maybe that's it, but it doesn't account for the complete lack of discomfort.
I'm going to be so angry if we've spend 4K on drugs and all this pain and I've ovulated early. For now, we're continuing with the prescribed drugs including the Ganirelix and I'll see what Monday's scan reveals.
Such an emotional roller coaster.
The Dr. increased my Follistim again to 400
Ganirelix in AM
150 Menopur in the PM
Getting stabbed 3-4 times a day is so fun! :)
