Too many follicles??? I'm confused...

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the forums though I visit almost every day. I recently returned from my one day work up at CCRM and apparently I have a ton of antral follicles but no PCOS. I had 18 on one side and 21 on the other. I don't know what's normal but apparently that's a lot. The ultrasound technician initially said I must have PCOS though she didn't see the "pearls" around the ovaries that is normally associated with PCOS. She counted each side 3 times, which of course freaked me out a bit. The RE said I don't have PCOS (based on lack of symptons, bloodwork & ultrasound) I just have an "abundance" of follicles, and he feels I won't need as many stim meds. I'm very concerned that I won't get enough meds and my follicles won't grow. Has anyone else had this issue?
