Hi TwoMums,

On one cycle, I was on 75iu of FSH for a total of 14 days. I had a scan at Day 8 of injections and all my follies were 8 mm or less. They upped my dose to 100 and I ended up being on injections for an extra two days to get them to the right size. So it took a little longer. On a subsequent cycle and due to Xmas holidays etc, I had an early scan on Day 5 of injections, there was nothing much to see at all. From past experience they didn't change the dose, and by my Day 12 scan they had all caught up to the right size.

In both instances I went on to have approx 13 eggs at EPU. I have read that it is not a problem to be on the stims a little longer, in fact they also do something called 'coasting' (ie they lower the dose for a few days) if it looks like E2 levels are too high (I think this is normally due to PCOS ie too many follies producing too much E2 but follies still too small for EPU) or something like that. So some are on the stims for quite a while.

I hope I haven't confused you. I don't know if this helps, and I hope your CD13 scan shows lots of lovely follies. Hugs
