stims question. 1 dominate follie vs, more than one

My last round of stims for iui number 1 (fail) i did 75 ui of follistim for about 10 days. I ended up with only 1 dominate follie at 24x26. I cant help but think that have one follie significantly lowers your chances of a sucessfull iui. What was your med protocal? How do I tell the RE that I want to try for more follies. I know there is still a chance with 1 follie, but I do not think that i will do the next iui if there is only 1. We are all out of pocket, and I just would rather wait till we have a better chance.

 

please let me know what you think.

    The goal with my RE during IUI cycles was to have one or two good big follies. Anything more than two follies = cancelled IUI or convert to IVF due to the risk of HOM. Sounds like your RE is doing the right thing to me.

    You should discuss the number of developing follies with your RE. Unless you are AMA or otherwise have reason, most IUIs are done with 1-2 developing mature follicles.

    I'm 36, and my RE wants to see 2-3.  I've seen them go ahead with as many as six, but I don't think that's smart.
