question about follicles for IVF
by AndreaG, Jan 21, 2009 10:08AM
Hi all, I am going through my first IVF cycle and this whole follicle shmollicle thing is so confusing. The u/s tech is only measuring follicles that are greater than 10.5...I know that I have 6 that are getting close to mature (measuring around 15). BUT, I had one nurse tell me I had 11 and one nurse tell me I had 26. I am confused. Do they only retrieve only the largest ones? Will smaller size follicles fertilize? The good news is that I am not in any discomfort...which is a huge plus. Looks like retrieval will be Friday or Saturday...

Good luck
With me, they measured about 15 follicles (day of trigger) ranging from 12-17mm. At the retrieval they got 12 eggs, 10 mature and the other 2 werent. I believe they get everything they can but only the mature ones are fertilized. I hope you get a BFP soon.
