Not all eggs are supposed to come by the dozen....

I am on CD17 of a clomid cycle (50 mg) and I still haven't had a surge and DH and I were planning on going out of town this weekend separately...so i went in to be checked today and I have at least 6 follicles on each ovary!  ugh...no wonder I have been feeling so uncomfortable.  I am waiting for the call with the results and the b/w info, but I thought I would check with you all while I am waiting.  The u/s tech said that none of them were mature...so here are my questions:

Is that a lot of follicles for clomid?   Too many?

Are they likely to tell my husband and I to stay far, far away from each other (not knowing the risks of HOM)?

Guessing that with that many follies they won't think about giving me a trigger shot to get this show on the road, right? 

Thanks!

    ooh, good point...we are doing TI, so that adds one more question...bodies tend to self regulate and only release minimal eggs without a trigger shot, right?

    my RE won't do an IUI with more than 4 follies (unless there have been MULTIPLE failed IUIs before). I don't think having 12 follicles is that many especially if none of them are mature. If you had 12 follies that are mature that would be another story.

    But if only 4 are mature at the time of trigger I don't see why there would be an issue? Maybe I'm way off base here?

    i agree with others.    it all depends on how many are mature or near maturity...    i had 9 follicles one cycle, but we're pretty sure only three of those actually produced eggs when all was said and done.   a few dominant follicles should develop, and the others will likely shrink down or disappear.    if they don't, then yes, i'd be concerned.  

    good luck!

    ok, so i guess it is important for my peace of mind to find out how big they all were when the nurse calls.  Thanks! :)  All of this is so confusing sometimes...  I really appreciate the info and advice!
