Too many follicles, too little growth

My iui #5 just got cancelled because I unexpectedly ovulated on my own on cd14. My lead follicle was about 17mm, four or five others were between 12 and 16mm. Apparently the clinic would have cancelled this cycle if I hadn’t already ovulated.
My lining was almost 10mm.

I keep having too many follicles but I’m already on a very low dose of gonal-f (50 and 62,5 alternating) and a lower dose (only 50) doesn’t do much to my follicles.
It seems like gonal f triggers a lot of follicles to grow (this is my third cancel already) but I haven’t had any larger than 19mm. I’m starting to wonder whether small follicle size is the cause of not conceiving. Especially seeing as I naturally ovulated at barely 17mm.

Has anyone had similar reactions to the meds and went of to know the cause and/or have a positive test?

The clinic says I would be a great ivf candidate seeing as my follicles grow so easily, but I’m not ready for that yet.
