Hello
Just curious to know whether Follicles still grow after trigger and before EC? Also what size is the minimum to be "mature" to be used for ICSI please? Any comments greatly appreciated  ------------- TTC 5 years Me 39 & DH 47 (antibodies and DNA frag issue) 1st/2nd/3rd ivf/icsi - Jan,Sept, Dec 09 4th ivf/icsi - May 10 bfn 5th ivf/icsi/tesa Dec 10 6th ivf/icsi/tesa.

Hi mtjt.
My understanding is that the trigger injection causes the mature follicles to go into the final stage of maturation whereby they release their eggs. And I can't help on the ICSI side of things but for standard IVF they can work with anything between 15 - 20. Hope that helps

Hi Jennsta
Thanks for your reply! My scan today showed total of 8 on one ovary - smallest being 15mm. The other ovary they could not find?? Never had that prob before!! hoping for similar numbers too.. Will see on Monday as EC due then :) ------------- TTC 5 years Me 39 & DH 47 (antibodies and DNA frag issue) 1st/2nd/3rd ivf/icsi - Jan,Sept, Dec 09 4th ivf/icsi - May 10 bfn 5th ivf/icsi/tesa Dec 10 6th ivf/icsi/tesa.
