Follicle sizes
I am currently on 125 follistim injectables. I went in today after taking injectables for 5 days and my follicle sizes were 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.1, and 1.0. Has anyone had these sizes that grow to be 1.8 within 2 or 3 days. I'm praying for as may mature follicles are possible. My doctor likes to see them at 1.8 before I trigger. I'm hopeful about the 1.4's and 1.3, but do you think my 1.1 and 1.0 will catch up in 2 to 3 days.
Bridge42----I am actually doing IUI. I did it yesterday morning. It went well. I was told my husband had 22 million sperms, and everything looked well, so wish me luck. I am officially in my 2ww. I've been having some back pain and cramping. I hope it's not the onset of OHSS because I had it two months ago with my last cycle.
Everything is going great thank you tomorrow I go in for retrieval am nervous and excited , then on Sunday am going for the transferr. I don't think it's aproblem if u waste a little of ur hcg am a nurse so I can tell u it's ok , how is it going for you wen is your transfer??
I am a little nervous because a small amount of my trigger shot was wasted during the injection last night. I guess it made my husband nervous and he accidently pressed the injection before he fully inserted the needle. Should I be worried?????
Well, I got a good report today. My follicles are as follows: 1.8, 1.9, 1.6, 1.6, and 1.4. I trigger tonight and go in on Tuesday for my IUI. My estradiol level is 1359, so they say I'm ready. Do you think I have a good chance at conceiving this month.
good luck with you follies ,am having the same problem mysef small follies and am on day 9 of meds monopur and bravelle and start ganarilex todaygoing bck tomorrow morning hopefully there is some improvement .also low estradiol 300.
Well I went back to the doctor this morning and now my sizes are as follows: 1.5, 1.4, 1.2, 1.2, and 1.0 so they are trying to grow a little. Now I am concerned about my estradiol level today is was 550. How much does the estradiol level increase each day?
Mine grew about 1.5-2mm per day, so I agree that yours have a good chance of reaching 18 in another 3 days or so. Like rmmoye said, your Dr. may puch back your trigger day a few days to akke sure they are the size he wants to see them at. My Dr. pushed back my trigger date by 3 days to give them time to grow to the size he wanted.
yes it is possible for them to grow. with them being so close to each other he could put u off by a day on the trigger just to make sure they do grow. Mine grew about 1 mm per day so it is possable for yours to be at 15 and 16. GL
Follicles grow on average 2mm per day...sometimes more. So, yes - it is entirely possible that they would be big enough. You might not ovulate all of them...but certainly the 14's and 13's will be ready. If not, wait a little longer before you trigger!
