Blah.

I’m disappointed. I have five follicles on my right and six on my left. I was hoping for more than this…like twice as many as this.

Can I hope to get more still or do I basically get what I have now and watch them grow bigger?

The good news is that they are all pretty uniform in size. Hopefully I don’t need to worry about a dominant follicle.

Now the waiting by the phone game.

Edited to add: We have kicked it up a few notches from 1 Bravelle, 1 Menopur to 2 Bravelle, 3 Menopur. That should get those babies producing! I go back on Saturday.

I think there are many instances when the early scans aren't reflective of the final egg count - it could definitely go up. But 11 is still very good! Hang in there...

I think it is a little early, but that it is a good number of follicles. It is better to take your time getting to the finish line, and having less eggs of better quality than many eggs that are immature.

Fingers crossed that the increased meds wake up some more follicles!

I totally understand how you're feeling. During my IVF cycle, I never had more than 10 or so follicles. Somehow, though, it still worked for me, so I'm hoping you get the same result!

Rock it Lu. Consistency says a lot across all those follicles.

Sorry you're feeling disappointed...
It's wonderful news though that they are consistent size!
And I will repeat what so many people have told me...quality is more important than quantity, and it just takes one good egg for this to work.
That said, I know for me it felt like the more eggs the better the chances.
Hope to hear good news on Saturday!
