Follicle Growth

Hey Folks -

New here and have a question about follicle growth.  I went in for CD 12 monitoring on Tuesday and my largest follicle was 16mm.  My OB rescheduled the monitoring for this morning and the largest follicle is now 25mm.  From what reading I have found, it seems that 1-2mm/day growth is normal - this is 9mm in two days.  Possible or did the ultrasound tech make a mistake on Tuesday?

    That does seem more than "normal." Bottom line though it sounds like you've got a great sized follie ready to go!

    I'm not sure but 25mm is a normal size, so I'd just be glad for that, you know? When I had my IUI I just did CD3 monitoring, then the U/S on the day of my actual IUI and my 2 follies were 20 and 25. So I have no idea what the growth rate was for them lol just that they were that big when I got the IUI. 

    Good luck

    Thanks for the feedback and luck.  Just feeling anxious that I'll ovulate before my IUI tomorrow.  Positive thoughts!

    @TremoloHoney I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* even if you were to O sometime this evening, you'd still be fine with an IUI tomorrow morning/afternoon. Remember the sperm have a much shorter distance to swim when they are injected directly into your ute, and the egg lives anywhere from 12-24hrs. 

    FX for you!!  Try not to be anxious!
