I am currently in an IUI cycle and I had one follicle that grew to 20, but my estrogen was only 50ish. Doesn't this mean there is no mature egg? I am at a very good RE and wonder why they would still have me trigger and do the IUI if there really isn't much chance.
Are you on any other medication? Some medication suppress estrogen (like letrazole) so numbers won't be high. I found it weird that follicles grow, but estrogen doesn't rise. Here in Norway they don't check estrogen levels, just the growth of the follicle. If they are 19 you're good to go...
Not that I know of...our levels get checked before we start the process of IUI or IVF, and that's the only time. Triggershots are not common to take, they rather have us ovulating by ourselves.

@tvh1982 that's really interesting! Any other differences in Norway?
