And only one egg fertilized. But also remember that just because a follicle is mature doesn't mean the egg is a good one. So you may have 2 or 3 ovulate but only one may be a good one, which is all it takes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595690 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:51:15 +0000 FaithFertility 1595690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know my RE would prob say 2-4 and as @KT326: said he would have had the multiple chat..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595689 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:49:43 +0000 FaithFertility 1595689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: it is so hard, but I have been there.....just keep in mind it only takes 1 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595688 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:47:05 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: OK. Thanks. I don't know why I'm so worried about this! I guess I just want the highest chances possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595679 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:37:51 +0000 FaithFertility 1595679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: you could but since the other two are 18 and 16 those are probably your leads </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595674 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:28:31 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If anything over 14 might ovulate, wouldn't I have 4? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595664 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:16:32 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: Did that cycle work for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595663 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 11:15:53 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makes sense. Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595509 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 08:27:10 +0000 KT326 1595509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 9 follicles near the end of various sizes. I was on injectibles meds so we adjusted my dose and I came back in either the next day or the day after that. If the adjustment didn't work we talked about converting to IVF or canceling the cycle. Luckily only 3 follicles grew and the rest actually shrunk. The cycle was still almost cancelled because of the three follicles, I had to sign a paper acknowledging the chance of multiples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595462 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 06:50:08 +0000 swedishfish 1595462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: @littlek: yes, my RE cancels if you have 3 or more mature follicles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595437 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 05:50:15 +0000 littlek 1595437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: they would have cancelled your IUI if you had that many mature follicles. It's unethical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595430 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 05:04:08 +0000 spaniellove 1595430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: After having tons of monitoring I learned you can't extrapolate like that because they don't grow at consistent rates. I too think your 18mm for sure and possibly the 16mm may have released. They wouldn't have done the IUI if they thought several follicles were mature - it's unethical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595408 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 01:23:20 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between the previous Wednesday and the Saturday ultrasound that gave me the above numbers, the lead follicle had grown 4 inches. He didn't give me numbers for the others at that time. I figured if they continued to grow at that rate until the IUI, they'd be:</p> <p>Left- 20.3, 14.6<br /> Right- 19.1, 14.2, 15.3, 22, 18.6 </p> <p>If that was the case, they'd all ovulate. Is that not how it works? I feel kind of dumb. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595257 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:12:41 +0000 FaithFertility 1595257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't be sorry ;) MY RE says anything 14 or greater are possible<br /> I'd say you have at least 2 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595254 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:11:52 +0000 swedishfish 1595254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the 18 and maybe the 16.3</p> <p>Four days before my first IUI my two follicles were 17 and 17.5</p> <p>They were 18.5 and 23.5 the day before my first IUI. </p> <p>One follicle had already ovulated the day of my first IUI so I came back in for a second IUI the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/follicle-sizes#post-1595250 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:08:16 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1595250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to keep posting about pretty much the same subject! Just wanted to share and get feedback. </p> <p>1 day before my trigger (with one more menopur injection in between) and three days before IUI, my follicle sizes were:</p> <p>Left: 16.3, 10.6<br /> Right: 15.1, 10.2, 11.3, 18.0, 14.6</p> <p>How many do you think would have ovulated? Thanks so much, girls!!! </p>
