First follicle scan

7 Replies

I’ve been stimming 6 days, it’s my 7th injection tonight. Egg collection suppose to be Monday. Had my first scan today and have 10 follicles under 10mm on my right and 7 under 10mm on my left. I’m currently on 150ui of menopur and Doctor said to increase to 225ui. I have another scan on Friday.

Lining is 10mm

Has anyone else had this experience? I’m not sure what’s ‘normal’.

How long have you been stimming for? How big were your follicles measuring today? Did they mention how thick your lining was?

I wish the doctor had given me a range of what was deemed ‘good’ at this stage!

How are you feeling now?

Hi Jhenderson. Good womb lining, and you will be surprised at the difference in your follicles when you go back on Friday. Keeping everything crossed for you. Diane

Thank you Diane for your reassuring words, I came out of the appointment worried. I was trying to tag you in my post but my ict skills don’t stretch that far. Fingers crossed for Friday then 🤞🏼

Hi I’m feeling ok but defo hormonal and keep getting headache Iv been injecting since last Thursday and have 5 follicles no idea about lining

The nurse did say it was different to my last cycle but apparently every cycle is different and it’s quality not quantity so I’m not going to stress.

Yes you’re absolutely right. Every cycle and every women is different sorry to hear about your symptoms. I haven’t experienced headaches, like you have, yet but I have experienced a noticeable increase in my sex drive! 🤣 Mr Henderson was apprehensive about starting IVF he was worried about my mood swings! If we do need to have another cycle, I really hope we don’t, I don’t think he will have the same reservations! 🤣

When your next scan? Hope everything goes well. Keep me posted x
