Oh also yes you can develop more follicles and they grow approx 2mm per day.  At least that's what I've been told:)

I am also on Gonal. This is my second cycle.  The first cycle I didn't have any side effect this time around my husband is telling me I'm very hormonal.  Kind of mean.  Tonight will be my 4th injection.  I just got back from the doctor and had an ultrasound I have 4 follicles on my right and 1 small one on my left.  The 4 on my right are pretty big 14mm 11mm 9mm 8mm I thought that seemed rather big for only 3 days on gonal but he said everthing looked perfect. He told me to take 150 units tonight 75 tomorrow and 150 Friday and go back for US on Sat.  He is also going to start me on progestrone in the 2nd half of my cycle.  I'm excited!  I hope it works!  Good luck to you and if you have any questions let me know:)
