Try not to worry, perhaps just ask when you go for your next scan. I usually had the same nurse scan me and on one occasion I saw the dr who counted less follicles. I panicked a bit and asked her. She said she was only counting follicles of a certain size and not all of the smaller ones. I didnt really understand why to be honest, but it all turned out ok in the end.

Its a difficult one cuz people scan differently some will scan even small follicles so ur count is more.

I always used to hate how they scanned my lining.. cuz one lady told me it was 5.5 and the day b4 it was 7.5 so i was worrying really bad..

Try not to worry Nuttybutt. When I go for my scans it's a different nurse every time usually. They all scan slightly differently and some don't write down the little ones, only the bigger ones. Sometimes the smaller ones come up and grow to a decent size still depending on how long you're stimming. What counts is how many follies have an egg in them on EC day. Good luck xxx
