Please don't be afraid to ask them anything. Ask when you are there or ring them later, even email them, but that's what they're there for; to help you. I asked questions at appointments and if I forgot something I could email the nurse team and they either email back or phone me.

Hi katiemiller94. You really need some more follicles, so that some of them can mature in order for eggs to get into ready for egg collection. Hopefully the increased dose will do the trick. This is a common problem, as some ladies are slow responders. However, usually, we can get you to co-operate better by upping the dose, which you may need for another 5-7 days. Thinking of you. Diane

Thank you Diane, my stomach has gone quite big and bloated so hopefully that's a sign I'm making more follicles 🙏 Xxxxx
