IUI set for Saturday

Hi,
This will be our first IUI.  I had my ultrasound this morning and have about 8 follicles but only one is 19.5 the others are between 13 and 11.  We have to do the shot tonight and the IUI will be on Saturday.  My question to her was should we wait until more are "ready" and she said, we only need one.  I wasn't sure how I felt about this, I would think that the more that were "ready" the better the chances.  Anyone have any thoughts??

Thanks in advance

Dear trying in NH, Good luck to you on Sat. I'm not sure about the count, It only takes one to work right? I suppose the more the better your chances but your small ones will still grow after your shot. Sorry I'm not very helpful. Try posting to the embryo dr.? Keep the faith.....cassandra

It only takes one thats for sure.    The other can grow to the needed size quickly though and you may have more than one though.    Let us know how things turn out.

Baby dust to you.

Hi,
  The same thing happened to me w/ my first IUI this Tuesday.  I had about 7 follicles, but only 1 that was 20 mm.  They went ahead and triggered.  I was thinking I would have at least 2 that were mature.  From what I understand, it does increase your chances of being pregnant the more follies you have mature.  Every day since the IUI I have had my doubts this worked.  Good luck to you and baby dust!!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts.  Everything went fine today, just alot of cramping still.  Now comes the dreaded 2ww, keeping my fingers crossed that it will be positive.

Hi,

Cassandra
No I don't have to take the progestrin shots this month.  I guess I haven't gotten to that stage yet!

This 2ww is getting unbearable! I am so depressed because I don't think that it is working.  I don't feel any different and if I had to describe it,  I would say I feel "empty".  I just wish that there was some way they could tell us earlier and end this agony sooner then 2weeks.  Thanks for letting me vent!

Hello girls,
Sometimes women don't feel anything right away when they are first pregnant. So don't be negative girls!!!!  Stay positive.  It could still be happening for you!

Its probably the hormones making you feel this way.  You wont notice a change for awhile when pg.  hang in there.

NH, how are you feeling? I'm glad you don't have to do progesterone. I had never felt so whacked out in my life taking it. The first week was the worst. I'm feeling better. When is your blood test again?  cassandra
