Checking the Follies

Had another appointment with Dr. W to check and see how things looked internally. He seemed surprised that we were down to 8 follicles though they were measuring at a good size and told me that I had a muted response from what he was expecting. Generally less than 6 is considered a poor response and more than 20 is considered hyper-stimulation. So most doctors would like to see you somewhere in that range. In addition each follicle may contain 1 or more eggs or it could contain NO eggs! Also not all eggs are of good quality which means they may not fertilize or could fertilize abnormally. This is why I believe Dr. W is showing concern. We are praying that each follicle contains at least 1 egg. 

Here is a close up of the above screen the larger the number the bigger the follicle and closer to maturity it is. My ovaries are still even showing 4 follicles on each side.
