Follicle sizes...

Hi all,

Me again. I had my day 8 scan yesterday and the doctor sounded a bit disappointed with the medication doses and response rate. My dose has been increased again in the hope they can retrieve either Thursday or Saturday. The bigger follicles are 15 and 16 with others between 9-12. Have any of you had similar experiences? Did the slower ones catch up?

I’m a little nervous. In my mind I have time but her response of “mmmhh some of your follicles are not responding and others are growing too fast” is making me worry.

Any advise to ease my nerves would help. I can’t seem to concentrate at work. This has consumed my energy and I’m trying my best to relax.

Thanks all ❤️ Sending love to all those waiting, starting, in the middle, and those celebrating.

Hi Stam,

After they increased the dose my scan 2 nights ago was better so they’ve decided to do the EC today (Thursday). I really hope the outcome is good.

Sending you lots of love on your journey !!

Good luck, as said above - it only takes one egg (and it sounds like you will have a few) xx
