IVF ICSI Stimulations

Hi all, just one anxious lady after some advise and other stories here!
I started injecting on 12th August for long protocol IVF ICSI. It all seemed to be going wonderful but on day 12 of stims my follicles were very small in size and Meriofert was increased and again on day 14 there were a lot more but they were also not measuring big enough for egg retrieval to go ahead as planned on Thursday 😓
I’ve been told to carry on stims until day 16 and scan booked in for Friday to recheck and then hopefully collection Monday!

Has anyone else been a slow starter but come day 16 of stimulations follicles have been good enough for egg collection?

On stims day 12 I only had 8 follicles between both ovaries measuring at 11, 8, 6, 9, 6, 6 and 6. So all waaaay to small!

Follicles from stims day 14 scan show 17 follicles measuring the below…
Right 12, 8, 12, 12, 9, 11
Left 11, 10, 9, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11

They have improved but not quite there, really hoping over next couple of days they have a crazy growth spurt as I’m so scared it’s all been for nothing.

sending lots of love to all you wonderful humans currently going through this journey

Yes totally! My meds weren't adjusted but left ovary follicles didn't really start to increase in size, however overnight the right follicles doubled in size! So definitely give it time and rest and they will grow 🙏

Let us know how you get on xx

Excellent 🙏 good luck with fertilisation 🥳

sadly, we only had one embryo fertilise - our little Emmy was transfered on day 2. It was a good looking embryo for day 2, 6 cell grade 4/4 with few fragmentation. Currently 3dp2dt and extremely anxious for next 10days🤞🏼
