[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.[b] I think that proper medications dosing, precise monitoring, and good lab are keys to success. [/b]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]

It takes more than that for success.

I'm not sure how many cycles you have gone through with SGF. You seem fixated with the monitoring at SGF and think that having doctors monitor makes a difference. I truly don't think they hire technicians who are unable to measure correctly since that is literally all they do, everyday with hundreds of patients. I did one cycle with SGF and I didn't go into the nitty gritty details of the exact size of each follicle and I just let them do their work. The measurements are reviewed by your physician. If these sort of details are important to you, perhaps communicate with your physician and express your concern. [/quote]
