Hi ladies

Just home from day 8 scan

Still only have 9 follicles, 6 on the right and 3 on the left

The largest one is 13mm and the rest are between 11 and 12mm

How does this sound?

To stay on gonal f tonight, Saturday and Sunday and next scan Monday am

To start vaginal cream tonight with EC going to be either Wednesday or Thursday next week

Getting more real now,

Hope everyone is ok

Hi isitonlyadream.  Still looking OK.  Fingers crossed another few days of Gonal F does the trick.  Good luck with your egg collection next week.  Diane

Hi Diane

Thank you for getting back to me.

They didn't seem worried and haven't upped the dose so I am hoping everything is as it should be.

thanks again,

Holly.

Hi isitonlyadream. Well that sounds encouraging.  They must feel that you are on track for egg collection probably towards the end of next week.  Thinking of you and huge luck!  Diane

Hi Diane

Yes they have said either Wednesday or Thursday for egg collection.

Only a few more days to go now.

Thanks again,

Holly.

Hi Holly.  Brilliant!  Try and enjoy some of this sunshine over the weekend if you can - lots of Vitamin D!!  I'm sure you must be getting anxious and excited all mixed up in one, but not too long to go now. Diane

Sounds very exciting but a bit nerve racking too, cant even imagine being at that stage yet!  All the best and good luck!x

Hi Holly,

I had my day 8 scan this morning and its showing 5 definite follicles and more emerging, I am happy with this as I am a poor responder and have low amh. I have to go back again on Sunday but looking like my egg collection will be Tue or Wed next week. Good Luck xxx

Hi Cinderella yes it's a bit scary but this is everything we have been working towards so it does feel good to be making progress!

Button that's great news, 5 is really good. Looks like we will both be in for collection next week then... 

Hope your scan on Sunday goes well

Lots of luck to you too
