My doctor told me that the egg is always in the follicle...it just takes the follicle getting big enough to release a mature egg.

Hi guys well went to my u/s this morn i have one follie on left side meaasuring 19.5 mm one small one and something that measured 32mm i say something because they said they couldn't tell if it was a follicle or a cyst and they would know more with my blood test but when they called they said to carry on with the injections and come back monday by when they should be able to tell which it is I  had two small follies measuring just 8mm on my right side which i'm kinda pleased about although they are small on the right side usually theres nothing there so it shows at least the right side is awake at last has anyone had any experiance with cysts and how this would affect my iui i'm going put the question to they main forum too as i really could do with some info my clinic tends not to be very imformative .
wantingababy2007 can i askhow do you know you have eggs on your ovary i always thought its was follicles and that the eggs couldn't be seen it was just an indication that hopefully the follicle releases eggs sorry theres still so much i don't know

Well went in for my IUI this morning.  I had two mature eggs on both of my ovary's but my left tube is questionable, they don't know if it is opened, blocked or partially blocked.  My husbands sperm count was 28 million with 36% motiility.  I can take a PT on December 7th, which concidentially is my birthday!  Wouldn't that be the best birthday present ever! :)  Hopefully some of you will be in this dreaded 2ww along with me.  Good luck to everyone!

Heard back from doc.  Did another 50 mg of Follistim tonight with another Ganirelex.  I have to go back to doc in morning for HSG shot and than I have IUI Saturday morning.  From there, on to dreaded 2ww.  I'm kind of worried b/c I think my DH gave me one of the shots tonight wrong.  I have a little swelling under the skin at injection site.  :(  I guess I can ask the nurse in the morning.

Back to the doc this morning.  Had another u/s and blood work.  The doc does not come in till 1:00 so I will get the blood results this afternoon.  My left ovary had two good follies one 16 mm and the other 14.  But that is the tube that is questionable.  My right had 3 follies 14mm, 12mm and 10mm.  The nurse said they count everything 10 and above.  I've been taking 50mg Follistim for the past 3 nights and than last night the first Ganirelex shot to stop me from ovulating.  I'm not sure if my doc will lower my dosage again.  Will let everyone know when I find out.  Good luck to everyone!  Keep in touch!

Ladies, I love knowing I'll have so much great company during the 2ww.  I think this is my 30th cycle and it never seems to get easier.  I had the IUI today (another tomorrow)-- I just ended up with one follicle but DH surprised us all with his numbers-- it all looks good... on paper.

Wishingforamiracle-- I've got my fingers crossed for you.  My DH's numbers were 10x higher than last cycle so it seems there is a lot of room for variation.  If it doesn't work this month, he may really surprise you next cycle.
