Follicules at Fist Scan

[Lilacfi]

Hi,

I went for my first scan today (day 6 of injections). I was told that 8 follicles were showing signs of growth. The nurse wasn’t the most reassuring and now I’m worried that we won’t collect enough.

Anyone been in a similar situation? I also have PCO so I know I have many follicles but I was surprised that only a few had grown.

I also had 8 at day 6 and have PCOS. We ended up collecting 20! And that was with me having to reduce my dosage as my estrogen got too high.

I had 8 follicles and ended up with 5 embryos! Good luck xx

Hi Lilacfi - first egg collection 9 showed and they actually collected 11, second egg collection I decided to stop as only had 2 growing but I had been really ill with COVID 6 weeks beforehand and Dr has had other clients abandon cycles when catching flu so if you've been ill with a physiological response this might explain it. But I was told to drink at least 3 litres of water a day as follicles are greedy xx

8 follicles showing signs of growth at this stage is still promising. Sometimes follicles can surprise you by catching up later

Sending you lots of good vibes and hoping for the best outcome for you!

Hi. That’s not such a bad result. Few more days should make all the difference, fingers crossed. If you can get four or five decent eggs to fertilise. Thinking of you. Diane
