Day 5 of stims

[Hells18]

Hello lady’s, I’m on day 5 of stims and got a scan booked for Friday what are they looking for in measure measurements to book the retrieval? And also this time round I’m crying over everything way more than my other rounds 😂 could it be because of a higher dose?

Hi! They're looking to see how many follicles do you have and how big they are but it's too early for the egg retrieval. I had a scan on day 6 of stim and after that they lowered my dose because I was having too many and after that I started to take another shot but with Fyremadel so I won't ovulate. And on day 10 I went again for another scan and they were big enough to book the egg retrieval, the follicles need to be around 18mm before they trigger ovulation and in 36 hours you have the egg collection.

Aww thank you 😊 I’m getting myself all in a bother for no reason I think it’s my last round on the nhs xx

I hope this time everything goes well for you. Fingers crossed you'll have many healthy eggs. Please keep me updated. My 1st round none of our eggs made it to day 5 but in our 2nd things changed and got 2 blastocysts frozen. We can't change how things happen, the only thing we can do is to have faith and hope for the best and in the same way be prepared for anything. Try to be relaxed, my 2nd time I was grateful for every day of my treatment, eat anything that makes you feel better.🥰🥰🥰

Hi Hells. Usually over 10mm. 9days 17-20mm. Those are the largest follicles. Good luck! Diane
