Hey Ladies. I just finished my first cycle of clomid the other day. Went in for my ultrasound today and am doing the trigger tomorrow night. I will have 4 mature follies this round. The Dr was kinda like are you sure you want to go through with this round bc you do have a small chance of having 4 babies. I was expecting to have two eggs dropped maybe three but 4? What number do you guys normally have? Anyone with a similar experience? xoxo
Round 1 July 2010... 50mg Clomid + Ovidrel Injection + IUI (7/22) = Failed
Round 2 Aug 2010.. 100mg Clomid + Ovidrel Injection + IUI = canceled due to cysts
Began Acupuncture Aug and Sept during break cycles
Round 3 Oct 2010.. 2.5mg Femara + Ovidrel Injection +IUI = BFN
Round 4 Oct 2010..2.5mg Femara+ Ovidrel + IUI = BFN
****IVF #1 JULY 2011, 10 Frozen, awaiting FET******

Re: # of mature follie's?
Sorry I can't help you b/c this is my 1st cycle on clomid too. This is my biggest fear - that I will have too many follies and have to sit this cycle out. I won't go in for monitoring until I get a + OPK or on CD 15, whichever comes first.
I know taking clomid increases your risk of multiples if there is more than 1 follie, but does taking clomid increase the odds of your eggs splitting?
I would doubt that Clomid could increase your odds of splitting but ya never know. Would you sit out a cycle if you had 4? My dr did say i had better odds of winning the lottery than all 4 taking but he said it does happen sometimes. He said he would think twins if anything but anything can happen! so nervous
I have had 4 mature follies twice. I still have no babies
While there is definitely a risk for all 4 fertilizing, to me, in my circumstances, the risk is so small to be acceptable. Plus, MH and I have already had the selective reduction talk and are in agreement.
Ditto! I have to agree with Gymn that you have to discuss where you stand with YH and you should both be on the same page in regards to multiples.
If it was my first cycle on clomid I'd cancel. Last cycle I triggered with four follies but two were on each side and my left tube is blocked. I had a couple of days with no sleep because of it. And it was my 6th medicated cycle, 2nd with injectibles.
And I second Gym and Mari.
TTC since 1/2008
I've had anywhere from 2-4. I also still have no babies. My RE is comfortable releasing...due to this fact
Good luck with whatever your decision is!
I've had as few as 1 and as many as 3 during my Clomid cycles. Like others have said, you and YH need to make sure you're okay with multiples and how many is too many.
If you don't take the trigger, the most dominant follie will release an egg.
Did you have b/w to check your estrogen levels? Based on your E levels, it is possible that not all 4 follies have a mature egg in them.
Good luck!
I've had two mature follies each time...no babies for me
I would trigger if I had four, but I might have hesitated if it were my first medicated cycle. Good luck to you!
Just curious why would you cancel if it was your first cycle?
I am 31, too
Its my first cycle on Clomid (50mg) and I had my Day 12 u/s yesterday and I had two follies that were 10 and 12. I have to go back on Wed (Day 15) for another u/s to see if they will get bigger. Good luck!
After 3 failed Clomid+TI cycles, DD was conceived with IUI#1
TTC #2
Clomid 50 mg + IUI#1 = BFP, m/c and D&C at 7w1d
Clomid 50mg + IUI#2 = BFN
Clomid 100mg + IUI#3 = BFN
Lupron + Follistim + IVF#1 = 11ER, 10M, 10F, ET of 1 expanded BBA 5-day blast, 2 Frosties. BFP! Beta 10/13 = 264! Beta 10/15 = 702! EDD 6/21/14
Good luck to you too! So glad to know I am not going through this alone. Thank god for this board, i Swear I have learned so much. I hope the best for you this cycle!!!!!!
The last two cycles, I had 2 mature follies. Both measuring over 20.
The first cycle was a BFN but for this cycle...we shall see in 2 weeks!
