What Causes Decrease In Size Of Follicles During An IVF Cycle?

I am cuRently stimming on follistim 100 units and hcg low dose 20 units for an ivf cycle and am on the 7th day of my cycle. My estradiol went up to 1028 and my volume, width and height of the ovaries all increased. However my follicles went from 13 on both sides to a 5 on one side and a 7 on the other. My doctor hasn t called yet but I am nervous and want to hear just generally if this is an indication of a problem
