[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may already know this but sometimes they simply do not have a clear view of the ovary because your bowels are full or you have gas.... One time I went and no matter what she could only find 5 follicles on my left ovary when there were 9 the time before and the time after....this was at SGFC. [/quote]

Op here - Yes, I understand that. What worries me is that they base retrievals on the monitoring. So, if your physician is under the impression you have 5 follicles he may not look for 9 that are truly there. Unless I am mistaken? They start with a clean slate at retrieval and trust their own judgment?[/quote]

You should ask your doctor. My experience, after 4 banking retrievals is that they always (at SG) take whatever follicles/ eggs they can find at retrieval. I end up with a bunch of immature ones that were never measured in addition to the ones we expect. The big issue with not measuring the follicle count, I imagine, would be the timing of the trigger, as they generally want a certain amount of estrogen per mature follicle....however i am guessing that the lead follicle would determine the trigger more than estrogen/ follicle. Anyway, i'll end how I started this post. Ask your doctor. [/quote]
