[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand and share you concern regarding the follicle count when you have lower numbers like that bc ive been in the same boat. I just learned this cycle (my 3rd) that your body produces new follicles throughout your cycle so that could be the reason for the larger number at the last appt (but not for the random dip in the middle).  The key thing is that they have to trigger when the leading follicles are ready to go so sometimes those late developing ones wont be ready in time. I have also struggled with getting precise information (exact follicle counts and measurements or embryo cell counts or grading) and clear explanations about what is happening. It drives me nuts when I hear medical professionals spout back those truisms that lay people use "it only takes one," etc. [/quote]

OP here - thank you. It is comforting to know I am not the only one who feels this way. Were you with SGF or elsewhere? I am trying to gauge if this the case across the clinics or just at SGF. I think that proper medications dosing, precise monitoring, and good lab are keys to success. From what I understand from PP before you monitoring at GW might be of better quality. I am wondering if they are as good with medications dosing and lab protocols. Before switching over I want to make sure I am not going to another place that does not place emphasis on what matters to me.[/quote]

I used Columbia fert for IVF but SGF for IUIs. At Columbia your Dr (not rotating Drs) does all monitoring but I found Dr. Sacks glossed over precise numbers. I found that at most practices — even when news was not terrific I wanted to know bc information helped me manage expectations. [/quote]
