Today went to see Dr F for follicle scan to see the follicle growth rate. As usual, it took Dr F a long time to scan the left side, and seems to be ever so shy. I could see black circle round dot, but am not sure if it is because it's so faint. And it's really weird that my left side seems to be so shy! :( The right side remains with one and only follicle, though it's slightly bigger at 0.9mm but it's still not a ideal size. Dr F said at this stage the follicles are suppose to be at least 1.2-1.4mm and there should be more. One on each side is still not very positive.
Dr F gave us options:
1 - Stop the treatment now
2 - Continue with the treatment in hope that during the next visit there will be positive news
The thing is, the dosage is already increased to the max but the effect seems to be no difference from previous treatment. If we stop the treatment now, the one and only follicle (albeit small) will not have any chance to mature at this stage, it will require continuous medication to grow. If we continue with the expensive medication of jabs, if it continues to be just one follicle, the ROI is too low to justify the continuity. After looking at the chart of my previous treatment, my follicles growth rate was really a late boomer and they grew at an amazing rate too.
Hmmm... After discussion all the options and all the effects, we decided to continue for the next 3 days to see if I am indeed a slow boomer. We'll just have to wait til Thursday again to see the progress. I must say I'm finally feeling the "defeat" for the first time...
