Follicles

Hey all, had 7 day scan today - not as many follicles as last time ... 5 looking good at the mo with a few small ones even though I’m on a higher dose. So they’ve put me up to 375 menopur for next 4 days. (I was only on 225 last time and got 11 follicles at this point)

Anything I can do? Not do? To encourage growth before collection next week?

Thanks 😊

Hi, I’m afraid I don’t have any advice but they can grow so quick in such a short space of time!! Will they scan you again? Fingers crossed for you!

Oh we’re cycle twins! Is your egg collection hopefully Wednesday? Were your numbers similar then? Xx

Not sure on collection date I think it will be next week. I’m on day 7 of menopur and just started my cetrotide. I’ve got 4/5 bigger follicles and lots of small ones. Just want the smaller ones to catch up! How about you? Xx

Sounds very similar to my progress as I had 5 on Thursday and lots of smaller ones too. I hope yours catch up too! My egg collection is wed, good luck and keep me posted on your progress ❤️

Sounds like it's going in the right direction to me 🤞Check with your clinic or a professional first - but I think I have read on here about castor oil massages and heat pads. Good luck! Xx
