Too many follicles

Hi, I’m new here, but seeking advice. We’re on a medicated ovulation induction cycle, scan shows 6 large follicles so the cycle is cancelled (no trigger shot) and we’ve been told to abstain. Part of me wants to ignore the doctors as it seems very unlikely to me that a) I’ll ovulate without the trigger (I don’t ovulate myself), b) even if I did, all 6 follicles would contain an egg/release an egg/ all eggs get fertilised. Anyone ignored doctors orders? I know the risks of multiples are higher.

I would heed their advise! While it’s tempting it could also be dangerous. X

Six follicle quiet less ,it's better you cancelled ,it will be waste of money

Try next cycle and am sure you will have more than 9 follicles

Don't worry you will be pregnant next cycle.
