Stim day 7- follicle size?

[Anonymous]

Hi, my first cycle. My follicles are still between 10-12 mostly, one is 14. I have been on stims for 7 days. What is the longest stim cycle? I've heard up to 10 but I don't think they will be the right size in 10 days. Anyone stim longer?

Anyone else have similar sizes at this time? My estrogen on Monday was in the 600s... still waiting on todays.

Thanks

You can stim longer than 10 days, they told me to expect 10-12. I figure if I'm stimming an extra day or two, maybe that will give me an extra egg or two.

If you aren't doing the Lupron protocol, you should now be adding ganirelix to slow down the follicles. Your estrogen should be maybe 1200 today.

Follicles grow 1 - 1.5 per day. Also, they continue growth AFTER you trigger, so even if they trigger you Fri pm for a Sun a.m retrieval, you are still growing for the 2 days between Fri a.m. monitoring and Sun a.m. retrieval.

Yes, I've stimmed up to 12.

I know this is a way old post but ganirelix doesnt slow your growing, it stops you from ovulating....
