How many follicles is normal?

How many follicles is normal?

I have my egg retrieval on Thursday, today my RE saw about 9 good sized follicles (mostly around 13mm). Should I have more by now, I started stims on Oct 4th & I though I'd have more by now. Is this number typical?

I had 8 follicles when I was at your stage.  Then, 2 days before retrieval I had 11 and in the end 15 mature eggs were retrieved.  Some of those follicles may be hiding...

Good luck!

I agree with Helen.  For both my IVF's they counted lower follicles than what they retreived.  Good luck!
