Re: one ovary smaller than the other?
I do. My right ovary is teeny tiny compared to my left. It also doesn't produce nearly as many follicles as my left. I'm still not sure what that all means... but you're definitely not the only one!
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!!!!
Hope you don't mind me responding. It is normal for there to be some variation in size from month to month depending on how many antral follicles each ovary produced that month.
It is also possible for one to be substantially smaller and may indiciate that the smaller ovary is aging prematurely. That turned out to be the case for me. My right ovary is half the size of my left and almost never produces measurable follicles, which is partly responsible for my DOR diagnosis.
But if you have PCOS, that's probably not the issue for you. More likely one was just more active during your last cycle than the other.
