I have follicles ranging from 7-13mm (about 9 on one ovary and 4 on the other).

What size would you expect them to be on day 8 of stims?

thank you x

@Bobo9 I don't have day 8 measurements but my days 9s we're between 2-12mm!

Thank you @wtawtaw - how many eggs did they collect (assuming you’ve had an egg collection already)?

@Bobo9 I had 29 follicles and out of those they colllected 17 eggs, 16 were mature. Have they given you any concern?

Sounds good! Not concerned at this stage but after having my day 8 scan, they have decided to reduced my stim dose and are thinking of delaying my collection by a few days. Because of this, I wasn’t sure if this meant I’m ahead or behind what they would expect at this stage.

Everywhere I read it talks about increasing the stim dose, not reducing it (I’m already on a fairly low dose)🤔

@Bobo9 I had to have my dose reduced on day 8 too due to risk of OHSS. I was on 225 Meriofert for 8 days and then 150 for day 9 and 75 for days 9 and 10! Day 11 they told me not to take anything! I too was worried how it would all turn out as I also read about people upping their dose only!
