Disappointing Day

I had my first round of meds and had my follicles checked today and they were too small.
Very disappointing day.
I'm very worried that I have waited to long.  I turn 41 in 9 days.
Any successes out there in your 40's?

That will help mature your eggs.  Good luck! As long as you have a few eggs >18mm towards the end, you should be fine.

This is my first try. I took Femura for 5 days, then they did the ultrasound 5 days after that.  I was supposed to have IUI Wednesday.  So I guess now the dr is going to put me on injections.
I'm clueless about all of it.

Hi,

How long have you been stimming before your scan? I was told that they don't really expect follies to be in any measurable size after 3 days.  Don't worry too much, plus you only need one good one.
