First IUI - Slow Response?

[2moms2be]

Hi ladies

Doing my first IUI cycle this month with 5mg Femara (days 4-8) and an Ovidrel trigger.

I had my CD12 ultrasound this morning, and there are two dominant follicles, one on each ovary, both barely measuring 10mm.

I do ovulate on my own (weak ovulation), usually between CD15 and CD19.

Is this response typical? I feel like it's really slow.

I did five cycles of Clomid, typically ovulating CD17, once on CD15.

Ugh.

I can't comment on femara, but I do injectables. Last cycle I triggered on CD23. Hang in there!

I too Experience this with Femara, it is okay, for example me on day 13 was 14mm and 10mm, by day day 15 both was 18mm, triggered that night and the had iui and TI. So don't feel discouraged it seems like your right on track since you O bet 15 and 19 on your own.

Thanks ladies

I got a call from my nurse later in the day; apparently, I have the ~10mm follies on each side, but I also have a 20.5mm on my left, which the tech somehow didn't mention? Ha. So, I was hoping for more follies, but I'm triggering tonight for an IUI on Friday. I guess it only takes one, right? Sounds like a good size
