Day 6 of stimming scan

I had my day 6 stimming scan today, currently on 225 Menapur.

I was told I have 7 follicles 13-8 and 4 small ones.

This seems low to me? I’m worried now.

I’ve been told to keep stimming for another 3 days then scan again.

Any thoughts?

Am the same as u, had my 6 day scan on 225 Menopur.

I have 2 follicles at 6-8 and 7 smaller ones, I have now not to return till Monday.

Everyone’s journey is different and everyone’s body reacts differently so try not to worry and compare yourself to others.

Wishing u luck xx

Hi Stacey

Great to hear from you, I've got to go back on Friday for a scan and they think egg collection on Monday or Thurs next week but just doesn't seem like enough is happening.

Are you getting much pain or anything?I

i was fine till day 5 but now feel like I'm having period pains on and off through the day.

Wishing you the best of luck xxx

It can seem like that at times, I was extremely disappointed yesterday with only 2 follicles growing but trying to not stress which is so hard at times.

Am due back on Monday with egg collection possibly Wednesday or Friday.

I have had period like cramps for a few days, nausea and feeling exhausted too. I have read on here that a hot water bottle on ur tummy is meant to help the follicles grow, have u been doing that? Xxx

Thank you for your message.

I know we are all different and all want to do our best.

no I haven’t heard of that regarding the hot water bottle, having hot flushes too so would probably throwing the hot water bottle off me half the time, ha.

May look into this though 🙂xxx

It sounds like a good number! Hopefully some of the smaller ones will catch up. Good luck xxx

Thank you for your message.

I know I shouldn’t compare to others but reading people have 14 plus at 6 days made me feel very behind.

Hopefully the small ones will catch up.

Thank you xxx

I've just had my day 10 scan and was very surprised by the growth of follicles. Some have gone from 13 to 20. Please don't look worry about it, hopefully you'll get a nice surprise. I had nothing on left ovary because I need it removed. Today I had 4 on left with biggest being 20, that's grown alot in 6 days. EC for me on Friday. Sending you big hugs and lots of luck xxxx
