How much will Ganirilex affect follicle growth?

Just curious, I started my ganirilex yesterday morning, and did my second today. I have two more doses left as we expect to trigger potentially Saturday. I'm still doing my normal doses of Menapur and Folistim at night as well. So how much, if any, will the ganirilex or similar injections slow down follicle growth these last 4 days?

*Siggy Warning*

TTC since 11/11. 10 months natural= 10 BFN 8/12 First appt with RE 4 semen anaylsis later 1.9 million count, 21% motility and very poor morphology Me- bloodwork, 2 ultrasounds, HSG exam =I'm fine / 3 months of testosterone treatments = 3 more BFN DH bloodwork after 3 months treatment= no change/  

RE says we can continue with hormone treatment for MIF, RE says we can try IUI but doesn't expect the results to be good based on severe MIF/ 

 IVFw/ICSI Cycle #1 1/11/13 Antagonist Protocol IVF Cycle #1 Canceled due to poor response and lead follicle problems. 1/18/13 started Provera to get body back to baseline / take a break to re-evaluate and recoop finances

    I am pretty sure the only thing Ganirelix does is prevent ovulation. I could be wrong, but I don't think it does anything to your follicle growth/sizes. They add it into the mix once your follicles reach a certain size, so that your body doesn't ovulate the eggs. Hope that helps!

    Mine too - it shouldn't affect growth.
