Just had my scan....5 follicles on the left ovary....5 on my right ovary = TEN all up. Wooo hooo! :clap: SUCH a relief. Dr said that between 6-10 follicles is the number they aim for. Glad I'm on the high side.

Each follicle may not necessarily contain an egg....but I'll know that on Thursday when they go inside to collect the eggs out of the follicles. Then there is about a 75% fertilisation rate. Then I get my best embryo put back inside next Monday/Tuesday.

So excited!! :mrgreen: :D :mrgreen:
