On my second IUI, need some help on follicle size !

Post by 194208 »

Hi guys,
I'm not new to the forum, but this is my first post on IUI. Well, some of you know I'm on my second IUI, clomid made my lining 5 last month and it is now 12 on Repronex. I found out this morning at the docs that I have two mature follicles one is 16 mm and the other 24mm. The doc said 24 was a little bigger than they wanted but I will take my trigger shot tonight and do the insemination in 36 hours. Is only two mature follicles bad???? And when I asked the doctor if the 16mm would be more likely to be fertilized she said, " no either one" (very non-chalantly). So what do you guys think about these two sizes????? These doctors don't make themselves very clear :( .
Thanks a bunch!!!

Hi tdcarrera

Lis again! 2 follies is good because if you had more there's a chance you could go onto release 3 eggs if for eg you had 3 follies, which would mean theoretically you could have triplets. I am doing natural cycles without ovarian stimulation but at a previous clinic we were considering iui with ovualtion and we were told 2 follies was ideal. If we had had more the cycle would have to be cancelled or one folle aspirated so I would say everything seems spot on! Gool luck with insem, let us know how it goes xx
