How Does This Happen??

Went in Friday... one 15mm follie on the right, nothing on the left. 

Went in Monday.... one 15mm follie on the right, nothing on the left.

Went in today..... one 11mm follie on the left, nothing on the right!

Can follies just disappear? What happened to the 15mm?

*He did mention that since I responded to the Clomid (though not well) that He may increase me to the max dosage (200mg) and add in some injects. This is a relief as before he said that if I don't respond to the Clomid then injects are not an option since I would over respond. At least it sounds like we get to try that now.  


DX PCOS June 2011, SA: low volume and concentration, 2% morph
June 2011 Clomid 50 mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
August 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
October 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = no response
January 2012- Clomid 150mg + metforming 750 mg ER + trigger + IUI #1 = Cancelled due to poor response. 
February 2012 - cancelled due to finaances
April 2012 - Jumped ship to a new RE 
May 2012 - New round of testing
June 2012 - starting supplements, saving for IVF
June 2013 - ready to start IVF, one more SA - all clear! Dr. Suggest starting with 50mg Clomid and Ovidrel instead. Have to resolve thryoid issues first. 
August 2013 - 50 mg. Clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
September 2013 - 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFP on Oct. 7th!
10.8.13 = 1st Beta 199
10.10.13 = 2nd Beta 502
10.14.13 = 3rd Beta 3,998
11.4.13 = 1 little bean measuring right on track with a heartbeat of 174!
12.2.13 = Genetic testing normal, It's a BOY!

    That is strange.  I didn't know that could happen.  Sorry that it happened to you but at least, like you said, the injects should help next time. (HUGS!)

    That happens sometimes but I'm not sure why.  Are you seeing an RE?  500 mg is a really low dose for PCOS.  The standard is usually at least 1500 mg to be considered therapeutic.  I just asked about your Dr because my OB had me on 1000 mg and I've seen a huge difference since the RE increased me to 2000 mg. 

    Also, why would he assume you'll over respond?  That's ridiculous.  I have follies for days (also PCOS) and have had 2 injects cycles were I responded perfectly and 1 where I over responded.  My RE just had to figure out what worked for me.

    Good luck!


    After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
    IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
    No heartbeat at 10w6d
    FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
    It's a boy!

    Yep, something similar happened to me when I was on Clomid. I didn't respond very well to it but one of the cycles I had 2 or 3 really great looking follies that were growing and all of a sudden when it got close to CD 14 not only had some of them stopped growing, but others shrunk!

    It was so frustrating. Injects might do the trick for you - they work for me better than the oral meds.
