1st Follie scan... What day did you have yours?

[arielle]

Hi Kimmi
When I did my first ever IVF cycle my FS wanted to be cautious and do an early scan (day 5 of stims if I remember rightly?), as I have polycystic appearing ovaries (no PCOS, just ovaries that look a little polycystic, which apparently up to 50% of women do). If you have polycystic ovaries, or particulary if you have PCOS you are at a greater risk of OHSS and so they will often want to monitor you more closely when doing your first cycle.

Not sure if you too have PCO or PCOS, but if you don't your FS might just be being extra cautious anyways, wanting to check things earlier to see how you're responding.

Good luck with it all

I can't actually remember, but I thik they'd be wanting to get an indication of how you're responding to the meds (particularly for a first cycle).
Good luck!

Thanks ladies...

I do in fact have PCOS, so I believe my FS was being cautious. LUCKY, because I wasn't responding to the dose he had originally prescribed.

I've now upped my dose and will be heading back tomorrow for another scan
to see if anything has changed,
