Starting second cycle - Disappointing follicle count on baseline scan and dominant follicle before ici cycle

Hey everyone - hope you are well :)

Dont know what I’m expecting anyone to say but these posts feel slightly habitual to me now and have been a real help, source of support and information.

Just had baseline scan. Day two of period bleed after norethisterone. Will start fostimon 225 and Meriofert 75 this evening. Folicle count was 5 on left and 1 on right - they said the right looks slightly enlarged and could be dominant.

Last treatment cycle I had one which was dominant on the left I feel like it grew too large and prevented the growth of others.

They have tested for oestrogen and if it’s less than 200 it is not in danger of ruining the cycle which they said might need to be canceled in the worst case. I have waited three month for this cycle.

I’m a bit gutted about the number of follicles present as this is my worst count yet - previously I had

feb 2023 3,5

august - 8,4 (this cycle I only got three eggs)

October 6-2 (this is the cycle I was given a protocol for then got cancelled before it started due to them finding fault with fsh last minute)
