WHAT SIZE DO FOLLICLES HAVE TO BE FOR IUI????

Post by 194208 »

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what size my follicles should be for my IUI and how much they grow daily???? They were about 13 cm 10 days post period, the doctor said they'd get bigger. I've been on Repronex injections for the last 8 days (so far 2 more days to go with injections) and I'm thinking insemination should be towards the end of the week. Your help and advice is REALLY appreciated!! Thanks a bunch :D

Hi tdcarrera

I think the norm is around 18mm but can be smaller (16mm) or for some ladies up to 22/23mm. I was scanned on day 11 of this cycle of DIUI and my dominant follie was 18.5mm x 12.5mm. I went on to have LH surge yesterday (day 16). I think they maybe grow ?? 1mm every couple of days altho not really sure.

Why don't you come and join us on the IUI girls thread

I think 18mm is the norm, but like lisa said some ladies go to 23mm...

Yours was 13cm. do u mean 13mm, I would say thats good. if you mean 13mm!!

They grown roughly 1-2 mm a day!!

So by day 14, when u should ovulate that should be 16mm to 19mm!!

Thats fine!, good luck x xx
