Scientific Question

in Trouble TTC

So, here I am, 9dpiui #5, no symptoms, and waiting until tomorrow to start testing (yes, a little early I know, but I've seen so many negatives, another few won't hurt me).  I'm a little OCD and research the life out of everything IF that I go through.  I've spent some time in the last few days searching for scientific journals/professional opinions about the odds of conception with increased numbers of follies.  A lot of what I've read states that there isn't much increase in odds with each additional follie.

Has anyone asked their RE this question?  I'm searching for some real life answers.  Thinking from an analytical perspective, it would make sense that you have better odds with 3-4 targets rather than 1.  Really, I'm just trying to keep my mind busy so that I don't go insane... but now that I've reread my post, some people not dealing with IF would probably think I already am.

    I have heard that here on the board before. And my RE says that yes, you only have a 20 chance of getting KU wether you have one follie or three. But the idea od more targets still rings true in my brain, no matter what the stats.
