IVF'ers... weigh in on follie size/E2 on stims?
I'm on day 8 of stims and going in for my next follie check/E2 tomorrow morning. My E2 was 680 yesterday and I have 16-20 follies ranging from 11-16 mm, with most being 12-14 mm. My E2 seems low to me, but they had me stick at the same meds dose.
Any input? I'd love to hear where you were at this point in your cycle.

I had about 20-24 follies ranging from about 14-24 mm, with most being around 16-18. I i stimmed for another 2 days. I think my e2 was over a thousand. On day 9 (when we thought i would trigger) my e2 was just over 2000, so we stimmed for one more day until the e2 rose a little more.
Bah! I feel so behind. Stupid 680 E2 and little 12-14 mm follies. I'm going to be stimming until 2012 at this rate!
On day 8 of stims from my IVF cyle my E2 was 2756 and my follies were 20-21mm. But, I have PCOS and respond pretty quickly to fairly low doses of the stims. Not sure if you should compare your response to mine.
I would think that if you were not responding the way they wanted you to they would have upped your stim dose for tonight. I almost feel like low and slow is the way to go (hey that rhymed). I think I stimmed way to fast and had a few lead follies rather than them all being the same size. Then ended up having out of the 12 eggs they retrieved, only 4 that were mature. Good luck!
Slow and steady wins the race!!! Remember that!
I stim really fast and the first IVF i had i had to coast etc (e2 over 7200). We got 14 eggs, only 11 of which were mature.
This time i stimmed 10 days (2 more than the first) and i got 22 eggs all of which were mature. i had a few lead follies that we were going to let go if need be.
ANd remember this.....all you need is that one golden egg!
good luck!
