DH and I embarked on our 4th IUI need to update my siggy today. I was on 7.5mg femara on CD 37. At my u/s yesterday I had one giant 26mm follie and 3 smaller ones on the other side. They were about 1416mm. On my u/s today it showed the giant follie was gone with lots of fluid in the sac, and the little ones were still there. I triggered around 130pm yesterday and felt cramps like I was o'ing around 9pm last night. They put in 6mil swimmers which doesn't sound like a lot, but its a lot for us. Haha. Our doc sounds really hopeful and she said the timing was perfect. I'm so hoping this works and this chapter of our lives is over for now. If you pray, please keep us in mind! Thank you!
