Sprinkling some Miracle Grow on your follies

FJL

Had my scan today and while my follicles have grown a bit, still not what my FS had hoped.

He wants me to have another scan and BT on Wednesday and I think that will be the deciding day...if not, Friday for sure.

Not looking good though

The nurse told me tonight that they want at least 3 (but preferably 6+) follies that are between 18-20mm. Today, my biggest one was 13mm and I only have 1. I have 3 at 12mm, 2 at 11mm and its all downhill from there.

I feel really pissed off at my body. I know this is out of my control but I feel like my body has failed me somehow

Thanks for your well wishes girls, and wannabemum, thankyou for your thread, for some reason it wouldn't let me reply, but I reall appreciated it

Sorry they havent grown as much as you were hoping.
They have grown though, I will be willing them to put on an extra growth spurt over the next two days. Wishing you lots of and

I assume there's nothing you cna do to help influence it, that it's just either going to grow or not? That miraclegro sounds like a good idea

They HAVE grown though, maybe they'll put on a late spurt. is Friday the last chance then, would they then cancel?

FJL

Well the thing is that they're supposed to grow 2mm everyday, and mine seem to be around 1mm at this stage.

Loula, if they still think there is a chance on Wed, then i'm guessing i'll have another scan and BT on Friday and that will be the final decider.

I just want to know one way or another you know?

As far as things I can do to make them grow, not much I don't think, but I did read the other day that a high protein, low carb diet can help low responders. I will cook myself a big steak tomorrow night!!!

Hi FJL, Yes, Proteins are really good for the ovaries inc. meat, chick, fish, cottage cheese, beans, nuts etc. When I get my scan I'm supposed to go in on CD 12 and they are never big enough so I always now book for CD13 but the couple of times when I have been there on CD13 they are still not big enough. I just think that I'm a slow starter(with everything) or maybe it was 'cos I took clomid on CD3or 4 instead of CD2. When did you take yours (I assume your taking clomid)

Anyways, good luck and keep munching on thoses proteins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh what a marathon you are going through at the moment.

I really hope things come good over the next few days and it's all systems go for you. You deserve it after this roller-coaster!

and some of this for the follicles:

FJL

Pixielou - no, i'm not on clomid, i'm on an agonist + FSH shots.

Thanks Helen, hopefully i'll have better news to report tomorrow.
