A member asked:

I was given follicle stimulation (cetrotide 0.25 and fostimon 75 once daily) on natural cycle, but my follicle will not grow this cycle. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Specialist: I would suggest a second opinion from a gynecologic endocrinologist. FSH stimulation should theoretically stimulate ovulation.

Dr Amico Jr agreed
