Just got an US done, a little pissed and need advice!

MARISAV77

Just got done with my follicular US. One big cyst (she said probably left over from last cycle) and a 19mm follie right next to it. My regular RE was out today, so an ARNP I haven't met before did my US. She said this 19mm wasn't big enough to trigger and I asked how big do you like them to be and her answer was 22mm. Then I told her my other RE has been triggering me when my follies have been 18-20. I've never waited for my follies to be 22 to trigger. Now I am questioning if they have been triggering me too early. I've done a lot of reading beforehand and read some REs don't trigger until they're about this size and others wait until they are atleast 18mm. I also told her I wanted to do the IUI 36 post trigger since I didn't have much success with the 24hr protocol. She said she would consult with another doctor at another clinic and will have an answer for me this afternoon, whether or not I should trigger today or wait. The problem is if I don't trigger by tonight this IUI cycle will be a bust because we leave for Hawaii on Monday morning.

If she calls back and says trigger tonight, should I do it even when she said she doesn't trigger until 22mm and my follicle was 19mm. This follicle next to this 40mm cyst looked a little funny to me too. It was not round like I'm used to seeing on US, it was more oblong shaped, I'm guessing because it was sitting right next to the cyst. I'm not really feeling warm and fuzzy about this cycle because this new gal put doubt into my head. Ugh!!! Why don't these providers use the same protocols especially if they are in the same clinic!

Hmm, I don't have much advice, except I did a trigger this past month and I had one maturing follicle and I am 99% sure I remember her saying it was 19mm and she went ahead and gave me the trigger. It worked and I got my BFP this cycle.

Awesome @katie0919‌ ! Congrats! Did you do IUI too or TI?

MARISAV77! We did TI. I had the trigger on 8/7. We had DTD on the night of 8/6 so she told me to wait one night, then to have sex on 8/8 and 8/9. I followed doc's orders!

I have heard 18-20 is the norm. Not sure why she told you 22. 

I don't have any first hand experience, but have friends that got pg when theirs were in the 18-20 range.

GL!

Sorry I don't have any advise. But I would go for it because you will be vacationing on Monday. Go for it, good luck

Thanks everyone for your input! The nurse called back and she talked to MY RE and she said I could trigger today and do IUI tomorrow or trigger tonight and IUI on Sunday morning. So I wanted to try 36 hrs post trigger this cycle so I decided to give myself a trigger tonight and IUI Sunday morning at 9am! Hope this is our lucky cycle!
