First IUI today, one follicle

MagicMikki

So DH and I had gone in this morning for our first IUI. I had 11 days of Bravelle injections and started with 17 small follicles, 3 started to grow, and only 1 matured to 23mm, triggered on Monday night. I was a little bummed to learn on Monday that only one follie made it, but one follie is better than no follies! Anyway, DH's numbers were much better today than they were for his last SA, so we're hopeful, despite only having the one follicle.

The material at the clinic stated that pregnancy from IUI with injections drops from 20% to about 10% chance when it results in only 1 follicle, but I'm still hopeful, since this is our first IUI cycle (TTC 20 months).

Anyway, I have noticed that I'm on the same cycle as a couple other ladies on here, and have seen that there are a couple who just had their first IUI today, as well! My beta is scheduled for the 26th, day before Thanksgiving. I'm sure I'll break down and POAS days before that, though. I'm not sure how long it takes for the hcg from my trigger to leave my system, so I'll have to be cautious.

Good luck to those who are in the 2ww!!
