How Big Are Follies When You O Naturally?

I have a 22.5mm and an 18.5mm follie as of my u/s yesterday on CD10 - I am on 50mg of Clomid this month.  We are skipping IUI and Ovidrel b/c my lining is too thin, but we want to still try TI.

I've been using OPKs and no surge yet...I'm wondering if I missed it, but my temp also hasn't risen.  I would think I would be O'ing any day with a 22.5mm follie?

Re: How Big Are Follies When You O Naturally?

  • I was off Clomid two cycles.  During the first cycle I had 3 follies.  They were 15cm and 14cm on my right side, and 23cm on left side.   During my second cycle of Clomid I had 2 follies.  They were both on my right side and were 14cm and 18cm, on CD11.

  • I think you would be ovulating any time.  I've had follies at 23 before ovulation on clomid.  I also don't have much luck getting positive opk's.  Is your doctor going to confirm ovulation via bloodwork or u/s?

  • i saw you asked this same question below...   i just don't have a specific answer for you.     i also don't put much stock in OPKs, and, if i were you, i'd just be having sex every-other day to cover my bases until i saw a temp shift to confirm ovulation.

  • I was on 50 mg of clomid this month and had 4 follies between 20 and 22mm on Monday.  I had been using OPK and no surge.  I triggered on Mon night so I don't know for sure when I would have O'd on my own, but I was starting to get O pain before I triggered.  I think I would have had a positive OPK later that night or the next morning had I used one.  So, I would think you would O anytime now.
