CD7 Follicles?

The nurse said it's still to soon to see follicles.  Is this normal?  When should you begin seeing small ones (ie. 7-12 mm)?
March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
    3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
    IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
    IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
    IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!

    Huh? They count my follies at every cd3 scan so I bet that you can "see" them. I know that at my GYN they only counted the ones over 1 cm and I usually had some by cd10 or 12.

    What? During my monitoring for IUI, I usually start monitoring CD 6 and I always have a bunch of small follies and at least 1-2 that are "dominant." Monday, which was CD6 of this cycle (IUI #2), I had 1 follie measuring 14mm and 1 measuring 11mm, I also had several smaller follies on each side.

    So that means you had done 3 days of drugs before this morning's scan?  

    If the nurse was talking about MEASURABLE follicles (>10mm usually), I don't think it's unreasonable to see nothing after 3 days of stimulation.  For both my IVF cycles there was nothing to measure at the first monitoring appointment (3-4 days after the start of stimulation).  In general, though, there should be some small (<10 mm) follicles that they'd still be counting, just not measuring. 

    Does the help?  Good luck!
