I’m unique. That’s what I am. A very, very special snowflake.
Apparently, my nurse has never seen the clinic allow someone with such a clearly dominant single follicle push through a cycle. They always cancel and/or convert to IUI.
But not me. They’re letting me push through. SuperNurse said she’s really excited because she’s always been curious to see what would happen if someone pushed through a cycle with a single dominant follicle, but multiple smaller follicles.
I don’t like being the exception. It does not give me warm fuzzies; it makes me nervous. I think I might cry.

I’m sorry, sweetie. You’re right, it sucks to be ‘special’ in this instance. Or to be a science experiment. Hang in there.
I with you on not wanting to be the exception – wouldn’t we like to be normal for just once?
I’m glad they’re letting you push through. I’m remaining hopeful for you – one of us has to succeed!
Never a dull moment…but hopefully this will all work out and your exceptional persona will culminate with that final baby that you desire!
Hello there –
I’m pretty much *exactly* where you are today as a matter of fact. I have on 13.3 and nothing else >10 (not many <10 for that matter). It's a clomid/follistim+menopur cycle and today will be day 5 of injectibles and they are already putting me on ganirelix. Oh the joy.
I wish you luck and will be watching!
Textbook boring – wouldn't that be nice.
I don’t like being the exception either. I much prefer to follow the crowd. Hope that the being special ends up being a good thing here though.
Well, we know your ovaries like to be the exception sometimes… so I am VERY hopeful for you. Don’t worry, no platitudes.
I am catching up on your whole cycle- what a whirlwind! I am a big fan of Antagonist cycles, so let’s hope this is the one. Things are getting excited at Casa Perky! (Like they already aren’t, right?)
Hugs!
I’ve decided that your ovaries really weren’t ever perky. They were just oppositional. They knew that you wanted just a few follicles during those IUI’s so they decided to show you who was boss. And now that you want those nice perky ovs, they’re again showing you who’s really in charge? Can ovaries have oppositional defiant disorder?? Maybe ask Superdoc and see what he says?
Seriously though, it sucks to be the exception, especially since we’re already the exception by needing to go there in the first place. I’m placing my trust in superdoc. Good luck and I’m keeping you in my thoughts
Hang in there…maybe your super dominate will be your super embrie…and then…
I’ll hold out hope for you. Thursday is our day…with my one dominate on one side and a straggler or two to keep it company.
wow.. what a rollercoaster.. well, i know that eSET is what you want anyway, so maybe it’s really meant to be that you are still making this an IVF.. IUI would be too risky, no?
i’m pulling for you!
I hope that this cycle surprises you. And not with monozygotic trips.
the fun just doesn’t end. still hoping for you.
Ugh, just what you want to be – an exception. F*. That drove me crazy on my first cycle and third cycle when they were so SHOCKED by how my body reacted. It’s “pleasant” when they’re shocked… downright “pleasant”…
Fuck. I’m sorry. Doesn’t make sense, does it?
I am really sorry this is so difficult. No advice, just some empathy.
