Small follicle on day 10 of Gonal f.

[angel_jacy31]

I am completely new to this forum. I was really devastated after my first scan this morning - day 10 on Gonal f. I was informed by the nurse that my follicles are very small. I was heart broken. This is my first ivf cycle and have been praying and hoping that everything goes in my favour. My medication has been increased to 450 units and another scan booked for Wednesday. 

Please, has anyone had this odd experience in the past? I am completely shaken to my bones. I think I am loosing the will to fight on. All I can think about now is how I would react if the size of the follicles have not increased by Wednesday. Someone please, help me out

I am really sorry to hear that. I am on day 9 today of gonal-f. After my first blood test my dr increase any dose to 450 and I was really worried. Mu body responded to the dose increase. Hopefully, by increasing your dose the growth will accelerate. There is nothing else you can do, so try not to worry. Good luck.

Hopefully the increased dosage will do the trick. Apply some heat to your tummy, eat loads of protein and drink lots of water. Fingers crossed the follicles will sprout by tomorrow. Be strong angel jacy31 💜 x x
