I'm just curious what my follicle sized "should" have been for the best case scenario for the IUI? I believe my RE said I had two in my left ovary that were 16 and 18 and two in my right that were about 13. that was 24 hours before my trigger shot.
the IUI was last Wednesday and I'm more than a week until my beta, so of course I am 100% obsessed. joy.
Re: size of follicles before trigger shot?
Good luck!!!
Congrats and good luck!
Ideal depends on meds, but I can say that my DD was a result of a 15.9mm follie and I had a follie of 15.8mm today and will be triggering tomorrow. Good luck!!!
ETA: I found my former post on the matter! The norms at trigger (regardless of cycle day) are: unmedicated or clomid 20-24mm, FSH-only meds a minimum of 17 or 18mm, and FSH+LH a minimum of 16 or 17mm. It is possible for slightly smaller follicles, 14-15mm, to contain a viable egg. But...mine was on Femara (so in the clomid category) was only 15.9mm (DD has always been little, LOL), and my current cycle is unmedicated (I'm still BFing) at 15.8mm and my RE wasn't concerned this time either.

They say anything above an 18 is considered matured. They grow 1 to 2 mm per day so at the time of your trigger you would have had an 18 and 20 and by the time of your IUI potentially a 20 and a 22.
My last IUI I a 20 and 23 mm at my trigger.
