Slow growing follicles

[Quaver]

Are there any way to speed up the growth of follicles please?

I have PCOS and am on 2nd Cycle of Clomid 50mg (I ov'd on CD14/15 last cycle).
I had my CD12 scan today, and the largest follicle was only 11mm I'm having another scan at CD18. If the follicles are still too small, we'll abandon this cycle and induce AF

I'm trying to eat more protein, less carbs, go for a walk, and also lay on my back and have my feet against the wall every day for few minutes to encourage blood flow to the uterus....

I take Pregnacare and Vit B50 complex.
Thanks.

Hey hun,

I have been trying to find some info out for you.

I have read that Zita West advises not to do exercise or brisk walking as you want to encourage the blood flow to the abdomen.

Use a hot water bottle before ovulation but not after, this will help the blood flow too.

Drink 2 litres of water a day for nice juicy eggs.

Good luck x

Thanks Fairy
Didn't know brisk walking was a no-no

Will find out how much it grew on Thursday...

Been to the doctor's, I'll probably ov on Monday. He said since it is late (Monday is CD22), it is unlikely to implant, so I should relax about it
The lining is starting to get old and come apart. He gave me 100mg Clomid for next cycle.

Will hope for the next cycle

Quaver - don't lose hope! I was stalking other girls' charts on Fertilityfriend who have taken Clomid and there are soooo many with late ovulation (after CD20) that got pregnant!!! So if I were you Id get busy with your hubby

I know I haven't ovulated yet but I still have a glimmer of hope for the next 5-6 days!!!
