How many follicles did you have at time of IUI?

sohappy14

I am wondering how many follies you all had at the time of your iui... I am on follistim and have about 4 smaller ones (12-14's) She is keeping me on a lower dose of a med to make them grow, but not the other smaller ones under 10.  Then see about the iui... I am nervouse about multiples... How many follicles did you have and about what size? TIA!!

For my 5th and final IUI  I had four follies at 17 and two at 20mm at time of trigger.   We essentially had 2 that were for sure mature... and 4 that easily could have gotten to mature in the 36 hours between trigger and IUI.    

so somewhere between 2 and 6 follies.

resulted in DD#1.   A singleton.   (but I had a history of 3+ follies and BFN's, hence being on IUI#5)

My first two IUI's I had 2 follies each time.  On our third and succesful IUI I had 3 follies.  Two were 20mm and one at 16mm and my IUI was 36 hours after trigger. 

Good luck!

I have had IUIs with 1, 2, 3, and 4 follicles. They cancel the cycle if I have more.

I had 3 (possibly a 4th) for my successful IUI. It resulted in a singleton.

I had one 17.5 follicle, and then we triggered that night.  IUI #1 resulted in one baby in my belly!  BUT, I have no history of IF, and that really changes things.  I was on 25mg of Follistim.

I have only done TI, so I don't know if my answers will be helpful for you.

When ttc#2 on my first follistim cycle I had an 18.5 and an 18mm at trigger. The next closest was 14mm. It resulted in DS2.

I just had triggered today with my first follistim cycle this go-round. I had a 17mm, 10, and 9.  My E2 was 530. For both follistim cycles I was on 75 iu.

I've never had more than two mature at the time I triggered and honestly, even that made me nervous!

1st time: 8 follicles, all 20+mm...IUI cancelled.

2nd time: 5 follicles, 3 20+mm, 2 14mm.   Result 1 baby!

2nd cycle was a lower dosage.  1st cycle doc was uncomfortable with the excessive number of follicles with the excessive possibility of multiples.   ( I agreed. I didn't want to be the next octomom, not to mention the physical/medical difficulties with that many possible babies.)

I had 1-3 follicles for my 3 IUIs.  The cycle with 1 follicle was successful.  My clinic cancels if there are more than 3 or 4.  

There was a girl on here a few months ago who had two larger follicles and three or four smaller ones, and she got pregnant with quints (first they saw 4 babies, then 5).  I haven't really kept up over here, so I'm not sure where she is now (she was very early one).  But it was kind of scary that her "small" follicles resulted in HOMs.
