Follicle Question

CinLauk

So earlier in my cycle day 2 my follicle was at 6cm then on day 5 it was at 7cm. I went back today and its still at 7cm but she tells me nothing is going on and I have no follicles. I dont understand this. I really didnt ask to many questions cause I was really upset. Is there a medication to take to help the follicle develop? If anyone has any info on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much

It's hard to answer because you have not posted anything about what treatments you're undergoing? Are you taking Clomid? There are a lot of medications to stimulate follicle growth. Have you had blood tests yet, like FSH to see what your egg reserve is, etc?

I agree with nelle. There are many meds that can stimulate the ovaries to grow follicles.
I don't understand how she can give you measurements and then say there are no follicles. Can you give us a little more information?

Maybe you doctor meant you have no viable follicles. They like for them to be between 18-22mm otherwise they probably won't mature and produce an egg. Are you taking stimulation medication? Injectables? clomid?

I was giving Bravelle but they wanted to wait for me to see how it went. I am not currently taking anything at this time.

My understaind is that anything under 10 is too small to produce an egg. I am not sure what Bravelle is but hopefully they can give you something else to stimulate follicle growth.

This cycle I did Gonal F which is an FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone. Follitisim is another FSH. I hope that helps some.

    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...
