Re-Intro and Antral Follicle question

princessisadora

Hi. I have been around this board before back in July 2013 when I first started all my testing.In a nutshell our dx is mild MFI and severe arcuate Uterus.  In Sept '13 IUI #1 was scheduled as you can see in my siggy that didn't happen and I overstimmed. We chose to convert to IVF. No luck.

 

Fast FWD to today, after all the WTF appts and discussing it turns out IVF is our best shot. We are attempting IUI #1.1 since we can't really afford IVF #2 at this time. I am really scared of a repeat of last cycle, in which I developed 9 follicles. We can't afford converting again. I am so anxious and scared, about everything as I know that our chance of success is just 7-10%. Today was baseline and I already have 6 antral follicles on the R and 1-2 on the L.  I just want to hear your 2 cents on this. 

How many antral follicles did you have at baseline and how many follicles you ended up at trigger time?

At my baseline my RE said that I had 18 follicles (9 on each side).  I just had my follow up today and I have three (26mm, 19mm on my right side and a 16mm on my left side).  I was told to trigger tonight and BD ... and depending upon my blood work, I could have my IUI tomorrow.  If not tomorrow, then I'm scheduled for a Saturday IUI.

Thanks for your responses. Like I said I think I am over anxious.I don't even know how many antral follicles I had on my previous cycle. I also keep going round and round in my head thinking this is just foolish why am even doing this when I only have a  7-10% chance. I am so not a gambler, but I think its like DH said if we don't give IUI a shot we will always wonder.

I think I usually start out with about 6 but I'm not the best responder. I take LOTS of meds to get 2 to mature. My dr told me yesterday he would expect me to get about 6-8 from IVF.
