Clomid + Trigger cycle=The unknown

in Trouble TTC

We are doing a clomid + trigger cycle. So I did the normal CD3 stuff and was asked to come on CD12, we know I usually ovulate(when I actually do) later but he wanted me to still come in. So Saturday I did my CD12 ultra-sound and it showed 2 follies on my right ovary one was 8mm and the other was 11mm. He said it would depend on my E2 to show if they were still growing and he would like to see it over 60. So my E2 came back at 97. To me this all sounds promising and I go back on Wed. CD 16 for another ultra-sound and E2 test.

I am just kind of curious if you think this is going in a positive direction or what experience you have with any of this. Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like things are moving along well.  Those are still small follies, but if your e2 is climbing and he was happy with that, then I would be optimistic.  Hopefully your appt tomorrow goes well and those follies are making good progress!

    Yeah it sounds right... Based on how much they grow in the four days and based on the E2 level then will determine when to trigger, if you need more time, or if you need to increase dosages.

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    We had some more growth... I know the 8mm grew to an 11mm and the 11mm to a 14mm. So now it just depends on bloodwork. We did decide if we have a good follie we will be going forward with an IUI. So now I am just waiting on E2 to show if they are still growing or not...
