My 1st monitoring appointment for this cycle, since I began the stimulation meds on Monday, was this morning and it went well. The tech found 12 follicles that were under 10mm, so in those cases they don’t report measurements for each follicle, only if there were any over 9-10mm. There will likely be some measurable […]
