Size of follicles?

Just had b/w and u/s this morning after 6 nights of Gonal-F injections. I have three follicles at 18, 16 and 15. And some less then 10. The RE wants me to do one more shot tonight and come back in tomorrow to see how they have progressed and then have IUI Thurs and Fri.

This is my 4th IUI but 1st time really finding out about the size of the follicles (thanks to you ladies!) so does this seem ok for where I am?

I think that sounds good. You don't want too many follies for IUI or they will cancel. Good luck!

Sounds great! I agree with Rachel, if you have too many follies they will cancel your cycle. :-( And those are close together in size, which is good. The little ones won't get big enough to be mature.

I agree with Rachm and Susan, they are all around the same size and around 18mm which is where a lot of doctors want them to be. You also don't want too many with IUI or they will cancel the cycle b/c of the possibility of having too many babies at once.

Good luck!!

Those are good sizes! Remember they will still grow. My RE likes to see them around 20. I had 8 yesterday and now I have 10...one of them is 24!!!! That one was 19 yesterday. They really blow up over one day. So you have 3 more days for them to grow...you're in good shape!

I was told the ideal size is 18-20mm. 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...
