Hi Ladies,
So, earlier today, I posted my intro story and asked a question. I really thought nothing of the fact that I wrote I had 7 follies at my CD 10 u/s (I took Femara). I am new to this process and maybe things weren't properly explained to me at my appt? I am now freaking out a little because a poster said she was surprised my Dr. advised that although it was to late for the IUI, that we should go home and have sex. I guess b/c apparently, this can cause multiples. At my initial consult with my Dr., he said that there was a lower chance of multiples with Femara (maybe 3-4%) than with Clomid (I did Clomid for 2 months) and that was really all that was mentioned about the whole multiple issue.
So, here I sit at CD 25, freaking out a little....help!
Re: Freaking out a little...7 follies
I took Femara also, for the same reason. My RE prefers there to be 3-4 follies maximum with monitoring. We did not do IUI, just TI. Do you have any issues with DH's counts or anything? Maybe he things the chances of conceiving without IUI are small? Did you trigger too? I can't really answer for your RE but I do know my RE would have told me to stay far away from DH with 7 follies, but DH is very, very fertile, and my issue was immature egg production...
ETA: I did Femara and got PG on the first round so I can only tell you my minimal experience. I had 2 follies, one on each side. We triggered and did the TI. I only have 1 baby, not two, so don't think you will have all 7 if you are PG. It is a possibility, but a small, small one.
