I started with an antral follicle count of 8 (3 rgt, 5 left). This was the lowest I've ever had. I had 12-16 last Summer/Fall...ugh.
After four days of stims I have 11 (6 rgt, 5 left). My RE seemed ok with it and said I will probably go a little slow and to continue the dosage (450 follistim, 150 menopur). The largest was almost 10mm. Thoughts? Experiences?
Going to acupuncture today...thanks ladies and Happy Wednesday!
Update: my e2 was 149...re said it matched what she saw on u/s...who knows...
Re: Back from monitoring appt UPDATE E2
Ditto!
Ok, thanks...Yes, my 11 follies are no where near mature, they are pretty much still resting. Only one measured almost 10mm. I think "mature" is when they get to at least 15mm. ??
Hoping for a steady rise...
Wow, those are great numbers! Without stims I had three total. After a week of them, I have five on one side and two on the other. It has been a very long week of slow growth to get to my trigger. My E2 levels were like yours as well. I triggered last night with a 21 and a 16, the rest are much smaller.
So you are way ahead of the game with your numbers! Slow and steady isn't a bad thing. FX for you!!

Great update!!! 11 follies is SUPER!!! So happy to hear you are progressing and everything is going well!!!
My current RE triggers when 4-5 follies are between 18-22. The first RE I was with would trigger at 16-20... seems like they all do something a little different

Thanks Bakermom...I guess it's a wait and see how they will mature. My next monitoring appointment is tomorrow morning and she kept my dose the same. It's all the numbers that drive me crazy. I can't control anything so why do I freak at e2 levels or whatever else they are testing. I gotta just let go and let be...
Waiting for your update too...thanks again!
