Smallest follicle size for collection?

[ivfjourneyandme]

Hi,
First timer and in a few threads which I’m finding so helpful!
Just wondering has anyone been told what the smallest size follicle is they’ll accept for collection? Or do they still drain all?

Thanks

No advice but wishing you all the best for tomorrow! @ivfjourneyandme fingers crossed you will be ready for trigger 🥚 💫

@Cosyseason1234 thank you!! Day 13 of injections stung like a b tonight!! How are you doing?

@ivfjourneyandme you are an absolute warrior,hopefully just a couple to go now 🤞 all ok here,my consultant app this morning about my FET was abit confusing but then isn’t everything IVF related 😂 I’m a control freak and I just want to get on with it 🤣

@Cosyseason1234 oh, I get that! I’ve asked for every scan report so can have it neatly in my files 😂😂

Pretty sure my clinic wanted them above 18mm at last scan before confirming trigger date. Good luck!

They will drain all follicles at egg collection. Smaller follicles might have immature eggs in the which cannot be collected though. Good luck!

Hi, my clinic (CRGH) the criteria is that they will look to administer the trigger when at least 2 follicles are above 16mm. With collection then being 36-37 hours later it’s likely other follicles will be over 16mm anyway but they told me that when they collect they will actually try to take anything over 12mm, but recognise that those on the smaller end are less likely to be mature and fertilise.
