HA! I know what u were all thinking.....i'm talking about follicle size! I am on day 6 of stims, RE apt today said showed good follicles, one at 13, one at 12, few at 9 and 10. ER not till next week, so do these numbers sound good so far? This is my first IVF, sorry to sound paranoid! -Stacy

They want to make sure that your follies are all around the same size; that one's not way ahead of the rest. So that's good. You may still have more show up before next week, too.

Good luck and baby dust to you!

Yes, they seem good to me. Usually they want them all to be around 18. They grow quick and more can show up.
I had 9 on day ten of stim and the day of ER there were 19!

Good Luck, Baby Dust to you!

They look for follies between 18-22mm. Sometimes one will get away from the others but that's ok. Yours sound like they are growing together just fine.
So ya size matters..hehe
Under 18mm and it may not be mature enough to fertilize.
Good Luck!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
