Hi. Have you had your drugs increased? I can't remember how many follicles I had at 8 weeks but I only had 4 when we went for the egg retrieval. I was put on the highest dose possible and kept our fingers crossed. Good luck.

Hi pumpkin - prior to this scan I had my drugs increased from 300 to 375. Next scan is Tuesday when they will decide wether to remove the follicles out not depending on size and numbers. I'm so worried I won't get to this stage and come Tuesday it's game over. Hopefully over the weekend il have some serious growth !!!

Hi. Keeping everything crossed hat your follicles get to a decent size in order to perform egg retrieval on Tuesday. A few days can make all the difference, so there is hope. Regards Diane

Bad news today ... Only one follicle and a potential cyst. Going to go ahead with transfer on Thursday even though the odds are now against us. Devastated.

Good luck. I had the worse final IVF ever! All that could go wrong did, including having to have wisdom tooth out on transfer day. I only had 1 fertilised embryo transferred, and thought that was it, after 11 years of trying it was over. But luck was on my side and that little bundle of cells is 15 this year. Wishing you all the best, fingerscrossed! xx
