[quote=Anonymous]It is my understanding that the IVF process encourages more follicles to grow into eggs but it cannot increase the number of available follicles. I am 41 yo; my AFC was 6 on day 2 of my cycle. My Dr called it "respectable" (How depressing). Yesterday was day 5 of stim meds and today they counted 10 follicles at my first ultrasound appt since they did AFC. I dont understand how that squares with my understanding that the IVF meds cannot create new follicles. Is it that follicles are so small when they do AFC that they miss some? Can anyone explain? This is not my first IVF but my first with this clinic -- i am encouraged bc this is a higher number of follicles than at the same point in previous cycles. [/quote]
