yup. I had the BW/US that morning and got the word to trigger that night. I know my dr doesn't like the follies too big, he is happy with the sizes as he says with my age (he says I'm young, woohoo!) and being healthy he doesn't want too many and wants to control for multiple births. I snuck a peak at my chart and I think my E level was over 200, closer to 300 (couldnt see exactly, trying to read upside down!) which I think played a big part too.

Same here - some nurses tell me, others don't. And this last time I was doing the upside down reading thing!

From what I've been able to piece together - and for a normally intelligent woman, this IF stuff makes me feel like a big dum-dum - as follies mature (and get ready to release?) they give off Estrogen or whatever E stands for...so it stands to reason that a higher lever indicates more mature follies not just size (so I guess its true - size doesn't always matter! LOL!) and obviously the more follies you have the higher your E level....so thats why they trigger when your leves reach a certain level since it means they are ready. So when you trigger, they release and are mature enough to be able to sustain fertilization.

I could totally be making that up but thats what I've been going with! If anyone else can add or correct, please do!!

Good luck Ann with the next one!

IUI 29th July

Hello,

My Dr. has scheduled IUI on Tuesday. I am very nervous. I have one ovary. 4 follie are growing. It looks like 2 are of a good size. I also have PCO. I am just that all goes well.

I see so many woman at the clinic. Today I counted 15 women. I could not help but feel sad that there are so many of us out there that are loking to be fulfilled or complete.

I silently prayed for all those ladies hoping that I would receive some mercy too.

Thanks for joining Sandywantsbabies!!!! We are here for you...have you thought of the back to back IUI option...I did a google on the success rate with b2b IUI and the rate goes up for your chances.

IUI team

Thank you for making me part of the little team. My best wishes to all.

I got my trigger shot today. IUI tomoro evening. I am getting the gitters. This is my first IUI. Initialy I thought I was not responding to the medication. Then the doc ask me to wait and relax. RELAX!! How!! I wanted to scream but she was right. My follie measure 21.9, 19 and 17. Hope they behave tomoro and let me be their mommy soon. My endo is 12.7. I am on CD 17.

Thank u for u support. I need woman around me who can understand. My husband is not very supportive. Thinks this is all a waste of money. But i am holding on and hoping that God proves him wrong. Oh dont get him wrong he wants the babies as bad as me but somehow he feels I am not doing all I can to ensure it. Lately I have began to believe maybe he wished he married someone who didnot have these problems.

I believe life tests us for a reason.

A special for all.
