Had my doomsday ultrasound this morning – to see how many follicles I grew on Clomid and whether we could proceed with insemination.
But – my first big hurdle has passed! We had to make sure that:
- the Clomid grew follicles
- I didn’t hyperovulate and grow too many
I have three follicles! She said that’s good, she can work with three. They’re not mature yet, they’re about 12mm, which is small. They have to be 20mm to ovulate, so I’m a couple days away. I’m to keep testing and call when I get my surge, and no matter what she’s scheduling me a Saturday appointment, and possibly Sunday.
Anyway, follicles. Follicles grow and release eggs when they mature. She said one could mature, or all three. She won’t know until it happens. The chance of triplets is VERY SMALL – less than 1%…but if all three eggs mature, we could maybe have twins. Still a small chance, less than 8%, but it’s there. Not really wanting twins, but 2 is better than none. I’ve been reading and most women who grow less than 4 mature follicles only have one baby. It’s when four or more mature that you could start thinking multiples.
We’re still under doctor’s orders to hibbidydibbidy every other night and call when I get my surge.
Looks like we’re good to go for my first IUI!
