Letrozole/Ovidrel - 16mm follicle - cycle day 11

Went to the doctor for my ultrasound today to check on the follicles after taking letrozole cycle days 4-8. I have 1 follicle measuring at 16mm and 4 others measuring between 9mm to 14mm.. I am currently waiting to get the results back from my estradiol check... Depending on the results I either have to wait a few more days and go in for another u/s or I can take the trigger shot.. Has anyone else experienced 16mm follicle on cycle day 11 that lead to pregnancy?

    I think a lot depends on your hormones.  I had what looked like 4-5 follicles last cycle (considered canceling), but my estradiol was under 800 so we proceeded on.  I would be tempted to try and get some of those smaller ones beefed and shoot for more.  But that would depend on how many times I had done that.  How many medicated cycles have you done?  If this is your first, maybe stick with one follicle.  If you have had several cycles, I would try and get a few more.

    This is my first medicated cycle. The doctor just called and said my estradiol level is right where they want it so I can take my trigger shot on Wednesday!! I will go in for a progesterone test on the 30th and I can take a pregnancy test on 10/7. Praying for our rainbow baby. I miscarried in October 2014. Have been trying without any medication for a year now. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but of course good news is exciting.

    I had a 19mm follicle on cd 11 and just got a trigger shot today (cd 12) and we are doing timed intercourse tomorrow. Then we will wait 2 weeks to find out and do iui next time if it doesn't. I think they look for 15mm at least so 16mm on day 11 is good! Wishing you luck!

    I just picked up the ovidrel and am taking the trigger tomorrow evening between 6 and 8pm. We were told to have timed intercourse tomorrow night, Thursday and Friday. I did an opk today and it showed high fertility, so I'm feeling like I will at least respond to the medication well. Good luck to you!! Baby dust ✨

    No such luck for me. My last IUI I had a 26 mm follicle and another smaller one on other ovary. IUI was performed next day but we didn't conceive and we had timed Intercourse for next 3 days.
    My follicles are typically between 12-24 mm on femara and with the nuvarel trigger shot.
    That's so frustrating that even with good response to meds and impeccably timed Intercourse we're not KU yet.
