Medicated IUI & follicle count/size question

kmcpkmcp member
in TTC after 35
This is my first medicated IUI.  At my monitoring appointment on Friday am, I had used injectable follistim for 6 nights.  I currently have 5 follicles, all <10 mm.  I know everyone is different, but is this a pathetically low number?  I just want to understand how bad my situation is.  When the nurse told me the results, I was distracted by the news that insurance has denied my coverage, so I didn't ask her any questions about assessing my progress.  I know that my estrogen level has been going up "nicely" through the monitoring period.

    You don't want too many for an iui increases chances of multiples, I think 10 sounds good, a little heads up. A week ago I had my iui were I had several large follicles, after the iui I apparently ovulated and since it was, multiple follicles it was really uncomfortable. It scared the crap out of me because I didn't know what was going on, don't want you to feel the scare the way I did.
    I wish you lots of luck!
