I had my u/s this morning and asked the u/s tech if I could see what was what. She showed me my uterus and lining then moved over to my right ovary. 2 huge-looking bubbles. I was like whoa!! Those are big. She said "wait until you see the left". Holy crap!! I had no idea follicles got so big! I asked her if they are lifesize - yep, they are pretty close. No wonder I can feel my ovaries right now! They are like an inch big! I can't even imagine how the IVFers feel with sometimes 20+.
I have 2 mature on the left - 29, 28 and 1 on the right - 16 and some other smaller ones in the 13-14 range. I forget all the numbers - need to wait for my coordinator to call later.
And a small funny - I was in the waiting room and one of the nurses called Julia to go in. Two women stood up. The nurse indicated which person she wanted and asked the other "Is your name Julia too"? The other women says "No it's Kate". Do those names sound remotely familiar to you? LOL

I know, it is so weird, isn't it?
Congrats on having such great follies! Are you doing your IUI tomorrow? GOOD LUCK!
ooOOoo, you've got some nice, juicy follies up in there! Good luck!
And LOL at Kate.
Thats so weird that you can feel your ovaries. I had cysts in mine a few years back that were the size of grapefruits (one in each). I didn't know a thing until I collapsed in pain because they were growing so large they could no longer fit. When they took out the cysts.. I was 10 pounds lighter!!
Thats so great about how your follicles are growing!! Congrats and GOOD LUCK!!!!
Haha Kate is dumb.
Isn't it awesome to see your insides? I love when they show me!
The 28 and 29 sound over-mature. What is the deal? When is your IUI? They might wait for the 16, the 13 and the 14s to grow a bit.
You might want to ask about a trigger shot for next cycle so they can get you to surge when they are less mature. Not to burst your bubble.. just FYI. I am sure they know what they are doing and it will be fine!
ETA: I am praying there will not BE a next cycle!!
YAY for big eggs!!!!
LOL at Kate!
Those are nice sife follies. Now imagine how I feel having 5 huge follies around that size. My ovaries were screaming for help hehe
Sail - Yep, IUI will be tomorrow. Just waiting on my coordinator to call back to schedule the time.
MrsJ - over-mature? What does that mean in terms of quality? Bad quality eggs?
I will definitely ask about a trigger shot for next time.
Everyone - thanks!! I'm excited to get this show on the road!
I would ask on IF to be sure but it sounds like the bigger ones are too-ripe. They just basically dissolve if they are too mature (can't fertilize). That's not bad though because you still have some other ones that can mature over the next day or so, it's not the end of the world. I hope I didn't scare you.
Silly Kate. Maybe her last name sounds like Julia?
Great follicle news! Look forward to reading further updates.
It's ok!
I will definitely ask over on IF though. Thanks!
Sorry again, just looking out for you and your follicles.
Love, luck, and prayers to my BFPB Dr. SnowflakeBride

That is so wonderful
Kate obviously has patience issues...
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
