Follicle size question for IVF.

Ok so I went for my 1st u/s since I started my STIM meds on the 19th, & so far the doc is a little worried I might over stimulate, She said I am an over achiever..lol she says I already have 14 follicles in my rt ovary the 3 largest being 1.1 & two that are 1 (I am assuming mm?? lol) & 10 follicles in my Lt the 3 largest are 1.2, 1, & 0.9.  I have no idea what this means yet..lol I was too nervous to ask questions!  They are calling me later to tell me todays dose of meds after my BW comes back. Do you know what size they want things?  Anyway, my next appt is on Sun so I hope to know more then.  If anyone has any info to let me know if these numbers are good or not it would be very appreciated!  Today will be day 7 of STIMS. Thanks ladies!!!!!

I think yours are in cm where 10mm=1 cm.  Mine were around 8 mm at this stage.
They grow about 2mm per day, I think

You are doing so well!!!

Size sounds very similar to what mine were at that time if I remember correctly. Wow you have a lot of follicles. I only had 9 total.

I know very little about the meds you're on and the procedures you're going through, but I wanted to say good luck. Your attitude sounds great. I love that you have a sense of humor through it all. Sending lots of SSBD your way!

My RE always measured follicles like 12,14,15,20 and so on. Anything beyond 16 or 18 for him was matured, probably your 1.2 is 12.

ok so they called me back & said my estradiol level is at 2782 pmol/L  which they said is high for this stage, so  am only to take my Gonal F today, not luvaris, and my gonal F dose is decreased from 112.5 to 100.  So I hope things continue to grow nicely, they said follicles grow at about 0.2 per 24hrs...& the want them to be 1.8, so I guess we will see how things are on Sun.  Thank ladies.
