They put me in the same room we were in when we found out we were having triplets...funny the things you remember. My lining was like 6.5 today, I had 17 follies starting on one side, biggest was 5mm. then the other side had 10 follies starting, biggest was 4.5mm. he said that was a lot of follies but pretty normal. I was wondering if he was going to try to talk me out of the Clomid but he said I am OK to start it. They didn't take blood after all, I guess once he saw how many follies I have going he didn't need to check my Estradial after all LOL. I go back on the 11th for another follie check! TMI...This was my first ultrasound while on my period, I was really dreading it...just kinda icks me out but it wasn't that bad. I didn't drip anywhere and if the condom over the wand got messy I never saw it, the Doc was very quick with the from wand to trash exchange LOL. Here we go.....

Holy Heck Trip...you have 17 follies without meds? Dang-my RE would have cancelled the cycle if there were more than 4 mature follies. What's your dr's cut off point?

Well they aren't mature, he said it's pretty normal at the start of your follie producing process to have a lot of little ones, but that by the time for ovulation only a couple will have continued to grow and become the dominate follicles that would rupture and ovulate. I think for the IUI their cut off is 4 mature follies...I think.

With PCO, I have 30 or more on each at the start of the cycle! Not many get going though!
He did ask me if I have normal cycles (my regular RE was not in today so this guy didn't know much about me) which I do...I don't have PCOS but looking at that many follies in there I think that was his first thought.

I think I am going to go with the 100mg. I am so not good at following orders LOL the RE wants 50mg on days 5-9 but I am going to do 100mg on 3-7 (this is what I did when we had success with the trio) I just don't want to mess with what worked last time.
