Ivf stims day 8

Hi today's my 8th night taking stims I'm on ovaleap 150iu. I had my ultrasound today and felt really upset by it and I'm not sure if I have reason to be disappointed or if I should feel more positive They basically said I'm not ready for egg collection due another scan Friday and will look at egg collection Monday or Wednesday next week. I have 1 follicle at 14mm and 4 more around 12 -13 I think so they said they're hoping those 5 continue to grow. They didn't mention any more during our consultation but showed me on my ultrasound I had lots more little one. I think under 10mm I did ask if these are likely to grow and they said they might but that didn't sound very hopeful for me. Can anyone offer any advice I feel like 5 is obviously good that I've got something but I felt like numbers would be a lot stronger. They have also kept my medication at same dose.

Completely understand why you feel that way but numbers aren’t always everything. On my first egg collection we got 17 but failed to fertilise so didn’t create any embryos and then for the second they collected 9 and only 6 were mature. I felt quite defeated especially because of the previous 17 but we managed to get 4 blastocyats from the 6 eggs. Try and stay positive 🫶

@Kerry thank you did your numbers chnage much over your scans ? x

They aren't that far behind which is good news. It would be worse if you had a greater range in size. I had my us on cd9 and they kept me on gonal f for one extra day of growth before epu. I understand being disappointed by smaller follicle numbers though. My last I only had 4 and 2 ended up being too big. Fingers crossed for you.

My last IVF cycle I had 5 follicles and they produced my son and an embryo in the freezer :) x

My number did gradually increase over the days and I was on ovaleap 150 xx

@Lauren I have 2 that are big, do they not tend to use them? 🥺

@Sammy ❤️ what size x

I think she said 17mm and I'm only on day 5

Update, I went from 4 follicles to 9 on my second scan and they've moved my egg collection back to normal, they seem to be developing well, just need the smaller ones to catch up 🥰
