How accurate is the follicle count at monitoring appts? I have about 12 on one side and 4 on the other. The four are smaller also so I don’t think they’re gonna make it to retrieval. Can anyone else share their follicle count experience? I’m on day 6

I honestly didn’t pay too much attention to these numbers since I knew it wouldn’t do anything but stress me out, and it doesn’t tell you how many (if any) euploids you’ll have at the end. My doctor wouldn’t mention the follicle count at each appt and they wouldn’t load any documentation with those details into my portal. They’d say something like “everything looks great, I see several follicles on this side, a few more on the other side, we’ll see you again in a few days” and leave it at that.

I am on my fourth retrieval and it’s varied for me. I just had a retrieval two days ago. They were tracking 10 follicles throughout the process and retrieved 10 eggs (although not all ended up maturing/fertilizing). The cycle I did in February consistently had low follicle counts. I think ~3 follicles and they ended up retrieving 10 eggs. I would say overall it’s usually pretty close, but there are anomalies.

I was told to pay more attention to the e2 level - 200~300 per mature egg usually.

By e2 level do you mean estrogen?

They retrieved 17 and 12 were mature (8 fertilized, 7 made it to blast), I had a small cluster show midway those probs the ones that weren’t mature.

Mine were mostly on left side my right ovary is lazy due to a reconstruction. Even the smaller ones they will likely retrieve but doesn’t mean they are mature.

Good luck!

Hi everyone, need some advice.
A local b d / ria has an opening for an Advisor. We provide the leads in the form of current abandoned brokerage clients and the advisor just needs to build relationships and grow the business.

For a candidate with 12+ years of experience what would be an appropriate compensation structure (base plus commission %)
Thank you in advance for your help.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
