Infertility

Follie Question

According to your RE, what is considered a mature follicle? From what I've read online anything over a 10 is mature.  Is this correct?  

 

This month I had two follies. One on my left measuring 26.5 and one on my right measuring 14.  The RE said the the one on my right was really small and she didn't expect it to "do anything." 

 

 

I gave you life, then you gave me mine.

    During IVF cycles, my RE likes to see them at 18 or above.  That being said, if they are 15 at trigger, there is a good chance they will mature before retrieval.

    ~SAIF/PAIF/Everyone Welcome~ 

    Me= 37 and DH = 41 

    Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)

    IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

  • Loading the player...
  • The 26.5 is amazing.. I think there is still a good chance that you will O them both.
  • I am doing IUI and was told that 18-20 is mature, they don't like to see them over 22, and anything 16 or bigger has potential to contain a fertilizable egg. RE did say they have rarely seen it, but it is possible with a 14.
