Hey, I didnt have that many follcles on my day 7 scans but I was unfortunately at the highest dose my clinic give - Im much older than you though! Hopefully once they adjust your menopur then they will be popping out, its also amazing what a difference a repeat scan in a few days time can make!xx

I have a repeat scan on Friday so fingers crossed, I only have 2 responding & 3 small ones. Was you on menopur? I think they definetly going to increase my dose I'm just waiting on a call back later today x

Yes I was on menopur 300 per evening so Im sure your clinic will bump your dose up which can make quite a difference!xx

I'm on 150..... but they are looking to increase my to 300. It was just so disappointing to here I'm not responding as they hoped especially for my age that's why I had bloods taken too to check my hormone level xx

I can totally relate!! 😔 We had a poor baseline scan last Mon with only 2 follicles - y'day they found 6 or poss 7 so they're hopeful I'm responding to meds, but they were very small!! Now just having to pray for some growth - next scan is Fri!! 🙏🤞🏻

I'm on the highest Gonal meds my clinic will give tho!!

Hopefully you will be given an increased dose and you'll see a big difference at next scan!! 😊🍀xx

I really hope so, baseline had no concerns today was a week later to only find 2 responding & some small ones...I hoping she phones to say increase meds & have scan booked for Friday anyway so hopefully will be looking better.... EC was meant to be 21st but I'm guessing that may get put back x

Scan update ....our 2 larger follicules have grown & 4 smaller ones are catching up we have the following measurement

20, 18, 15, 13, 11, 10

So doubling the menopur for the last 3 injections has been working😊, another scan in the morning & possible scan Monday or EC. Hope your scan goes ok today x

I started on 450mg so you've still got a way to go on increasing that dose. Alot can change with an increase in the stims and easier said than done but try not to worry x

Thank u I really appreciate it, I've got a follow up scan on Friday by then I will have done 300 3 times, not sure if that will be too early to expect to see a difference? Xx

Hey

I was started on 300 of menopur daily which was increased to 375 after my 1st scan at 7days. I remained on that throughout it did make a difference though. We managed to get a 1 transferred unfortunately a BFN but we've also got 3 frostie blasts. My EC was delayed by a couple of days but I preferred it that way xx
