Hey all -
So i've been doing follistim since day 3 of my cycle, today is day 7..went in for an U/S so they could measure my follicles..
Then SUNDAY at 8am i have to go in again to see the progress..
My IUI isn't until next week. And they're also monitoring my estrogen level.
The last IUI I had they only checked my eggs once, 2 days before the IUI & Ovidrel Shot.
I'm happy b/c I think now i'll have a better Idea of what/how many eggs I have and how mature they are.
do they just get more aggressive the 2nd time?

It just depends. I had seven follies the first time, two the second. But I got pregnant both times! My RE said the best numbers are 3 to 4 and the IUIs REALLY HELP. WE did a double IUI. IUI two days in a row. Good luck!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
