Monitoring US

Toriables

Today was an interesting day! I had my monitoring US this morning, IUI is scheduled for Monday morning. I am supposed to BD with DH tonight, trigger tomorrow night before bed, and bring DH's specimen with me Monday to the office.

I didn't get to talk to RE this morning. The tech did my US and told me that the nurse would call. She did, and she said that I had 4 follicles, 3 on left and 1 on right. Two of them were 17mm and 2 were 18mm. She said I had other smaller follicles too. I asked if that was good, and the nurse said it was "normal". I was hoping for more information than that though. Anyone else have similar or some other insight?

Thanks in advance!

You really don't want any more than four follies unless you've have several failed treatment cycles under your belt.  Usually I get two or three, so four is a amazing response.  A follie is mature at 16mm, but they like them to be between 18-

Thanks for the response and the info! I'm sorry about your loss.

My RE likes to generally see one lead follicle in that 18-24mm range for trigger- especially in the earlier cycles she didn't want to see too many that are too large.  Estrogen E2 levels are also key in understanding when to trigger.

Four sounds like a lot to me. I've never had more than one.
