Slow growth?

Amirasmommy

How frustrated should I be? I'm CD12 after Letrozole 5mg CD3-7. I had a scan today and he said I have 2-10mm follies and a lining that's light but on track with follie size. I have to go back next wednesday for another scan. They said to take OPK once a day starting Monday and call if I get a +. Is this typical? Am I way behind? Or do you think I might be out this cycle? Anyone had experience like this? I'm kinda frustrated! But at least I didn't O early like I thought. :cross: For some growth when I go in on Wednesday.

Amirasmommy,
Slow growth is not a bad thing. The question would be estrrogen level. Did he happen to check that? My follicles alsways grow fast when they grow, but it would be better if they grew slower. My doc takes my estrogen levels now and if the estrogen is over 100 then we continue for the month. My understanding is if the estrogen is going up then the eggs are developing and healthy. Again just my understanding and I may have it wrong. When my follicles didn't grow I get an estrogen of 50 or below. Once it was 20. Those are the months we don't continue. I wouldn't worry to much. They still have time to grow. Remember naturally our cycles should be 14 to 16 days after the first day of af. So going a little longer is ok.

Hope this helps! Keep thinking positive 10 and 11 isn't bad! They are there! Mine were at 11 and 12mm. I go back in on Sunday but I am on injectibles so that makes a difference about when I go back. I know other ladies are sometimes on injections for 12 days so take a deep breath, keep the positive thoughts going and talk to the follicles to get them to grow. I talk to mine a couple times a dayn they are kinda like plants because they are part of a seed right?! That's my thought any way!

Sending lots of sticky baby dust to you!

Thanks Robin! That helps. I guess I'll try to relax and talk to my follies. Thanks for the baby dust! I think I'm gonna need it.
