Is it too early to have a 16 mm follicle on CD 8 already?? UPDATE: It's a cyst :P

I'm at work and on mobile so I'm gonna make this as quick as I can. I went in today and I have one follicle that's 16mm and another that is 12mm. I'm only on CD 8 so to me this seems really fast, especially for the 16mm! I know this cycle I started Puregon (Follistim) but still. They told me to pick up my Ovidrel from the pharmacy tonight just in case. What the???

    I'm sure you'll hear from more knowledgeable people about your specific meds, but I did just have to cancel an IUI because I ovulated on my own on CD12 after taking clomid 50mg. (I usually ovulate CD15 on my own, so the RE's nurses scheduled me for a u/s on CD13… during which I found out that it was too late to do the IUI.) Anyway, the nurse told me it was a big one (something about it being in the process of "collapsing")--which would mean that it was probably already pretty big on CD8. So--not unheard of!

    Being prepared with the Ovidrel is probably a good idea. And it's great that your RE's office scheduled you for the u/s early to catch this! Good luck to you!

    Sounds pretty awesome to me! Natural cycles even, it's possible to ovulate normally around CD7-8, so hopefully this is just an amazing, helpful little egg moving your cycle along nicely. :)

    I'm pretty sure my first scans were on CD8 with my IUIs on Follistim.  I had some pretty close to being mature, and even triggered on CD9 a few times.

    I go back in tomorrow so I don't know what my blood work results are. I had an ultrasound on Friday and I had 15 follicles all measuring less then 8mm. I didn't think any of them would have grown 8 mm in 3 days! I picked up the Ovidrel so I'm ready to go whenever they tell me to go!

    This is my first round of Gonal f which is FSH, I have no experience with Follistism. I go tomorrow for CD 8 ultrasound...at CD 6 I had an 11 and a couple 10's and a 9 and an 8. They reduced my dosage, did they mention maybe doing that?

    Today's ultrasound shows that 16mm follicle wasn't a follicle at all. It's a cyst. They said its small so I shouldn't have to worry about it. Right now the 12 mm follicle from yesterday is now 15 mm, and I have 2 other follicles that are both 8 mm.

    maybe it wasn't there at baseline and the cyst is from the Puregon injects? I'm just guessing I didn't think to ask when I was there.
