Follie Check??

kimmy06

I had a follie check this morning.  I am on cd 8 with 5 days on Gonal F.  The nurse said that there are 3 measurable follicles, ranging from 11-15 and 4 smaller ones.  I only have 1 ovary, so I knew that I would not get a ton of eggs, but this seems really low to me.  Do you think there is a chance that this cycle will be canceled due to poor response?

It's way to early to tell. You could get a growth spurt later in the game. Anyway, you have at least 3, which the minimum for many clinics to proceed.

7 on one side is about average. You can't compare yourself to girls here with huge hauls, especially those that have PCOS.

Sending lots of grow vibes.

No way this would be considered a poor response.  Like others said, 7 is average per ovary.  I am 31 years old, do not have pcos, and I ended up with 15 total.  I, too, had lots of smaller follicles after 5 days and was worried but they caught up.  As hard as it is, try to relax and trust your RE.  GL!

Thank you all for the advice.  You were right.  My cycle was not canceled and we go back on Sat. for another u/s and bloodwork.  Hopefully the others will catch up!
