Day 29 update .... low follicle count

[Rol81]

So today is day 29, been on Meriofert 9 days.

Unfortunately I have only got 8 small follicles. Ideally the minimum they like to see is between 10-15. They were disappointed not to see more. I’m on the highest dose so they expected me to respond better.

Next scan is in 2 days, hopefully the few follicles I have will have grown a bit more.

A bit upset but I’m trying to stay positive and think quality not quantity . Will update again on Wednesday .

Hope everyone else is getting on well 🤞x

@rol81 I’mSo sorry to hear that they are on the smaller side. Fingers crossed for you they grow just that extra bit more & yess it’s definitely quality over quantity anyway! X

Hi, I had 2 promising follicles they could see and only one was the size they wanted around 4-5 days before my transfer. They went ahead with it despite warning me that our chances were next to none. We got four mature egg in the end and sperm issues too. I’m sitting on the floor watching my four month old boy who was our only fertilised egg from that cycle. Hang in there... you just need one follicle to produce a mature egg and you’re in the game. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s so disheartening but you only need one embryo. Thinking of you xx

Hey, please don’t be too hard on yourself. I was in exactly the same position as you. On my first follicle scan I only had 4, so stayed on the injections for another 2 days and when I had my next scan, I had 8 follicles 😀.. those extra two days made a massive difference and they had also grown in size.. ended up with one being 26mm and 2 x being 20mm... wishing you the best of luck and I will say a little pray for you 🙏🏻 X

Forgot to add, I was on injections for a total of 12 days x

Hello. Thanks so much for your message.

Only 5 good follicles today ! I have another scan on Friday too. So hopefully these 5 stay growing .

Unfortunately they found some cysts or something in my muscle of the uterus. So they are thinking if I do manage to get any good eggs that it’s better I freeze and wait a few months for transfer .x
