Are my follicles growing too slowly?

Hi 👋🏻

We’re at the beginning of our first ever IVF cycle. I had my first monitoring scan this morning, cycle day 6, day 5 of 150IU Bemfola. The Dr said she could see plenty of follicles and was happy with the numbers but the growth was a little slower than she’d like. She kept reading out the numbers 5 and 6 which I assume were the follicle sizes. They have decided not to up my dosage, I’m assuming because I have PCOS and my AMH is 50.4. Should I be concerned about the size of the follicles? How quickly will they get where they should be? Any advice or experiences of this would be greatly appreciated as my anxiety is in overdrive right now! Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

Early days yet still time for growth to happen and as you say probably not upping your dose because of your history Good luck for next scan Remember if unsure of anything re treatment just ask and they should be able to explain it all to you
