Stims over 13 days???

For those following my journey know that I am playing ping pong with one follicle. The start of stims i lost a 14mm follicle on the right and one miraculously appeared on the left at 11mm. At my final scan today the follicle is at 16mm and they have extended my stims for a further 2 days making 16 days total. Has anyone ever done this? To keep myself sane I keep saying it only takes one - the journey ahead is very long still. One follicle, one egg, one chance.

I can't answer your question, but I somewhat understand. I had a scan today, and it appears only one of my ovaries has produced follicles, I'm still fairly early days, on day 8 but it's still quite an odd feeling.

I have also thought same as you, all it takes is one follicle one egg!

Fingers crossed for you, and I really hope the best 🍀🍀

I'm new to this IVF rollercoaster but I'm sure I have read that you can stim for longer.... Trust your doctors and yes, you only need one egg! Keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

I did three cycles... they always play with dose and day extension to get best size .. it should work. Don’t worry too much . They are specialist and they deal with many similar cases daily

I’m currently stimming for 17 days, but take my trigger shot tonight. Sadly I only have one follicle growing it’s 18mm today, egg collection Friday. I have one at 11mm and two small ones at 6&7mm but these three will be too small to collect Friday. Xx
