7 follicles IUI?

Question

Day 12 scan, I had a 17, 16, 14 on my left and 14, 14, 12, 12 on my right. This is the first time ever having that many follicles. Now here's the thing I know most drs will cancel the IUI but this is my last IUI before we move to IVF in Sept. And it isn't clear if my left tube is open. So I'm wondering if you guys have any advice before the nurse calls me later today. Due to my heart problem I can only carry twins and anything over that would have to be terminated. So I'm not worried about the risk of multiples, I'm worried the risk of not trying.

Answer

Ask for Follicle Reduction! I took 150mg clomid and 500mg metformin and it kicked my ovaries into hyper drive and I had 7 follicles over 18. So instead of wasting the round and having there be a huge chance of multiples my RE sucked up 3 of the eggs and left 4 for the IUI. I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I have my first ultrasound tomorrow to see if we have more than one baby! Good luck!

Answer

Just a heads up from experience, if you trigger and ovulate all of them be prepared for significant pain. I had no idea until I matured a bunch of eggs last minute.

Answer

Don't really have advice for you but just wanted to wish you the best of luck. Hope everything works out in your favor. I did notice you're also in Georgia, do you mind if I ask what fertility clinic you're with?
