I don`t know what i`m writing , i am crying all the time , i`m very sad , please ladies i need help ,

as you all know I started this cycle taking follistim but i`ll not do IUI , i will do natural intercourse , okay , after 8 days of follistim my Estorgen level reached 2015 and about 35 follicles , around 20 of them from 14 to 22 , then the 9th day they told me no follistim more and take antagon in the monring to prevent ovulation and to get the Estrogen down because if you take the HCG with this high Estrogen will be a disaster and u will need to go hospitals and will get really tired , okay ladies , and then in the 9th day taking antagon only they found my Estrogen reached 2300 , and the 10th day they found my Estrogen drop to 677, ahhhh i forgot in the 6th day of follistim the nurse told me that the doctor before leaving me with my husband naturally has to suck some follicles because you have alot , they called me yesterday and told me that you are ready to take the HCG as your Estorgen is 677 , and we will suck this follicles tomorrow (friday) , my question now is about the estrogen in comparison to all that huge number of follilces , is that an indicator that my eggs are bad, and i am too scared from this operation tomorrow , they told me that i have to be on anesthesia , i didn`t tried that before , I am soooooo upset and have a great feelings that this eggs is too bad and also great feelings that this operation will be useless ,

I need help ladies ,

SMSM-
Unfortunately I don't have the words to comfort you, but I just want to extend a hug to you. (((SMSM)))
I'm sure things are fine - perhaps you should call the nurse with your concerns, this is what they are there for and maybe you'll feel better after talking to them.

SMSM,

I also do not have the answers you are looking for but you have to have faith in your Dr. and believe that he knows what is right. You are scared right now and plus you have those crazy hormones going through your body which make you very emotional. And now to top it off you are worried. Try calling the Dr. or his nurse and see if they can put your mind at ease. I am sending you a (((hug))). Hope you feel better. Crying might make you feel better too!!

I also had a high number of follies and my estrogen was over 2500. I had the HCG shot and only had cramping for two days afterward. It was not a disaster for me. Now I did IVF and not IUI, but wanted to let you know that I had a high estrogen and lots of follies and it was fine. Now with the cut in the estrogen, it could be because you stopped the follistim. With taking out some of you follies, with IVF they do that and I had cramping for about 2 days because my ovaries were so big, its very likely that yours are as well. The operation is not bad at all

Think positive and God bless you!

I don't have any advice either; but I did want to tell you good luck.
