Trouble TTC

# of mature follie's?

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

Re: # of mature follie's?

  • How big are each of your follies?  The trigger won't release them unless they're at least 18mm.  The most follies I've had on clomid is 2.

  • I just finished my first IUI with 50 mg of Clomid and had 3 Mature follies.  I also did the trigger shot.  It is a big decision because there are always those risks of having more than one.  Not to mention, they could always divide!

  • Yickes I didn't think about them dividing! I am not sure how big they are but I am assuming they are all big enough if he sat me down to double check if I wanted to go through with this cycle. Ughhhh now I am not sure

  • 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.

    Statistics mean squad if your the lucky one that ends up with four babies.
    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.

  • 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 have talked to my RE about this. They base the triggering on age and how many cycles you have been through. Four follies seems like a lot for your first cyle, especially if you are young. It's a personal decision. If that was my first cycle and at my age, I'm 29, I would probably cancel. Good luck with your decision. Let us know what you decide.
  • Thanks ladies! It is so interesting to get all the different view points. It helped so much I let DH read all your responses. We had no idea selective reduction was possible so we are gonna go ahead with it and see what happens. we wanted 3 all together anyways so if we have them all at once I guess we will just go with it. Any more than that it is good to know there are other options! Thanks again for your opinions!  Oh and I am 31 not sure if that is considered young or not and DH has no issues so guess we will just cross our fingers and hope for the best!

  • 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!

  • Never been on Clomid, but my BF was and she had 4 mature follies the cycle that she got KU. She is having twins. She had success with Clomid and HcG injections. Good luck with whatever you decide.
