Should I be worried?

I started my first cycle of injections this month.  I am on CD7 and taking 75 IU Menopur.  I went in for an u/s on Sunday and had two follies at 10 and 11.  They had me continue with the injections for two more days.  I went in again today and I have 2-10s, 1-11, 2-12s and 1-13!  My RE won't do an IUI on me if I have more than two mature follicles.  Do you think I need to be concerned that I overstimulated and will get cancelled?

I know my follies still have a way to go but I am not used to this.  I have very long cycles normally and I am lucky to have one follie at an 11 on CD16.  Maybe this is completely normal and I am freaking out for no reason...

I'd say there's a chance you could end up cancelled. Those follies are all very close in size so it is entirely possible they will continue that way and will all be mature.

I'm glad your RE will cancel you, though. Any reputable RE would.

I don't think you should really worry about OHSS...just being cancelled since it is an IUI. You could always switch to IVF if you don't want to "waste" the cycle.

Hmmm, I tend to agree with madelyn that there's definitely a chance that all of those follicles will mature at the same time.  I'm sorry the waiting game is so stressful!!  And really, we never know what our bodies are going to do.  I hope all but the best two stop growing and this is a successful cycle.  Good Luck!

It's really a crap shoot! at my CD 11 u/s I had about 6-8 follies ranging from 11-13 and was told I had a 50% chance of being cancelled. In the end, I only ended up with 3 mature and was able to proceed. You realy dont know whats going to happen at this point, but yes there is a good chnace you might get cancelled if they all keep growing.

Ditto PPs on the possibilities, but I hope that a couple of those little follies take the lead so you can make it to your IUI.
