[quote=Anonymous]I just finished my first retrieval cycle at SG, and from my experience, the time that the techs spent tracking down and measuring each follicle dramatically increased as I approached the end of my stims.  My ovaries love to hide, so my counts were all over the place during my first few ultrasounds.  (And I completely understand your worry -- I went on an emotional dive the day that I suddenly "lost" 8 follicles -- but then at my next appointment, they found them again!)

Once I got close to "triggering size," the techs were routinely referring to the previous day's count and trying to make sure they were all accounted for, so I would give it a few more days and see if your tech's counts don't get more specific the closer you get to triggering.

Also, I had a great tech who understood my worries and told me that since you are sedated during retrieval, they will actually be much more aggressive with the pressure they use while doing the ultrasound during your retrieval so they can make sure they get every last follicle.

Good luck and don't be shy about asking for details. Everyone's information comfort level is a little different and chances are, if your team knows you need more info to feel confident, they will start giving it to you.
Good luck!!![/quote]
