Follistim Response
How to “read” ovary data above: N: a, b, c/x
N = total number of follicles observed in that ovary
a, b, c…etc = follicle size in mm
x = number of follicles with that follicle size. (If there is only 1 follicle with that size, the follicle size stands alone without “1″ as the number of follicles. In other words, number is omitted if there is only 1 follicle of that follicle size.)
Example: 10: 7, 6/3, 5/5, 4
This means there were 10 follicles observed on that ovary. There was 1 follicle each at 7mm and 4mm. There were 3 follicles that measured 6mm each. There were 5 follicles that measured 5mm each.

Note: Even after 15 days from the last Follistim shot, my right ovary grew some of its follicles as shown by the 22mm and 29mm sized follicles in CD25.
