24 follicles - 13 eggs
I just had my second retrieval. The first I had 20 follicles at my last scan and they retrieved 18 eggs, 16 mature. This time I responded better to the meds (possibly because I was not on birth control before stuns). I had 24 follicles at my last scan before trigger but they only collected 13 eggs

Canker Sores & Endo - Help!
Hi Everyone, I'm using this as a last resort because I wanted to know if anyone else deals with the same problem. I've had endometriosis for years, but in the last two years I've been dealing with constant canker sores (mouth ulcers). They happen throughout the month and are so painful. Sometimes
