Hello Everyone!! Hope all is well with the babymaking here...just had a few questions! Well I have been TTC for 9 months now - with no success on our own we opted for to go to a Fertility Clinic. ME 29 no issues, DH 32 no issues.
I ovulate on my own but the doc had put me on Gonal F shots for this month (I refused to take Clomid due to the horrible side effect and wanted to go straight to injectables). First 6 days I took 75 dosage, then moved to 112 and then 150.
So here is how it stands as of right now: Dec. 22nd
1 Mature Follicle at 18mm
Many many follicles at 13mm
In about 8 hrs I will receive my HCG shot to trigger ovulation and Tues/Wed I will have my first IUI!! Very excited and nervous really hope it works. My question is - what will happen to all those 13mm follicles? Will i have a chance to get pregnant with those follicles as well or only with my 1 lead follice at 18mm??
Its been very hard the last few months as well since my father is very very sick (major heart / kidney) issues and he's only 64 yrs old...I've been trying not to stress bout anything but its hard and i feel all that stress is having an effect on me!!
Anyhow - anyone else's experiences?? I am sending everyone out there LOTS of babydust and GOOOOOD LUCK!!! :D

As for the follicles... the 13mm will get reabsorded in ur body and will not release since they are not mature.
Follicles are mature at 16mm ( boardline) and higher. With meds the RE like to see follicles 18 - 20 mm big.
When I did my IUI in Oct I had 2 follicles ( 18 and 19mm). I also did the Gonal F pin 37.5mg, Femara 2.5mg and the trigger shot.
That IUI failed tho but its ok.
Just remember that it only takes 1 mature follicle and 1 sperm to conceive. There are some girls on here that are preggo after the 1st IUI.
Good luck and loads of BABYDUST!
