Hi ladies, looking for some input. This is my 3rd cycle on Clomid + TI. The first two I responded well and had 2 Follicles matured the first cycle and 3 the second. This cycle I only have 1. I am trying not to get discouraged because all it takes is one and this one is a WOPPING 28mm but I can't help but thinking that my odds are reduced significantly (not that the last two cycles worked)
I guess I am just nervous because I have never had just one, and one this large. Today is CD12 and I will most likely TI tonight. Still havent gotten my call from the nurse.

Be thankful you responded with such a beautiful, large follicle.

Hi Katy, there were a few little ones 10 & 12 and then the 28mm mature. Today is CD12 and I will prob trigger tonight but I am still waiting to hear from my nurse. Hoping maybe that 12 will buck up also if not I have 1, thats better than none right.
My RE also wants them to be past 18. But 28 is huge, can it be too large?
Not sure yet, BW was done early this am still waiting for the nurse to call.
That really sucks, I know it can still happen that that 12 might catch up but I couldnt help but feel discouraged when I left.
I am going to ask the nurse when she calls. Should I be asking to wait to trigger would something like that be out of line? I know everyone is different just in your opinion...
I really try to make these cycles count exp with the clomid. I don't want this to be a bust with the 1 prob too big follicle and not have a chance at all.
I really appreciate your honesty on this. I just walked out of there having this feeling in my gut that something wasnt right with that. I mean 28 is huge. I even thought wow the bigger the better right.. sigh knowledge is power I have learned. I knew something just didn't seem 100% and I am glad I posted here.
My lining was 9.5, no OPKs trying really hard to not pee on anything <depressing.. It is possible to get in for another U/S on my end and I am going to mention waiting to trigger when I speak with the nurse. Even a day could help that little one.
These cycles are hard enough emotionally, financially, etc I dont want to get my hopes up for something that just isnt going to happen. Yes I know there is always a chance but if I only have the one follie at 28... prob not going to happen. Thinking I might have a glass tonight regardless of what happens.
I cannot stand waiting for the nurse to call..
I am so glad I opened this thread! Thank you so much for all the great info! I never knew a follie could be to large. It makes perfect sense but never crossed my mind! With Me and DH in a middle of an IUI its great information that could help!
Thanks for asking the question and thanks for the great answers!
Good Luck OP!
Talked to the nurse. ES is 693 LH 11.7
She seemed confident I am to trigger tonight. I suppose it can't hurt anything what the worst that can happen BFN...
Any thoughts??
Still having my glass of wino tonight either way. Can I do that with the trigger?
