follicle

[babydust2009]

Hello Ladies,  

Well I wanted to ask a question about the size of follice's.. My last US they saw 1 follice is was 32mm and they were very pleased about the size , and I guess from what the nurse said today that all follices are really cysts. I did not know that. I was worried that was over matured they said no it was just fine. My patients are a little thin rt now with this tww.  Next Thurdsay is when Af should NOT be here...  Mary...:)

I agree with MLB  you probably misheard because 32 is too big I believe.  I wish you luck in your cycle though.

32mm sounds too big.  They usually want them to be 18-22mm when they give the trigger.  Maybe you misheard them and they said 22mm??

xA: Many doctors monitor follicle development during IUI cycles. Most trigger when the dominant follicle is within a certain size range. While there is always some difference in doctor preference, the norms are unmedicated 20-24mm, clomiphene citrate 20-24mm, FSH-only meds 17 or 18mm minimum, and FSH+LH would be 16 or 17mm minimum. It is possible for slightly smaller follicles, 14-15mm, to contain a viable egg. Also, follicles continue to grow until they release, usually at a rate of about 1-2 mm per day. A woman may ovulate more than one follicle in a cycle, but the releases will occur within 24 hours. When hCG is not used, only follicles close in size are likely to release. The use of hCG induces ovulation in about 95 percent of women, and will get most mature follicles to rupture.
