**UPDATED**5 days of stims---1st blood work / sono tomorrow!
Have my appointment tomorrow after 5 days of taking Bravelle. A bit nervous but also excited.
Praying and thinking positive.
Baby dust to all!!!
UPDATE (12/08/10): Well I think it went well, but I don't know much about it yet.
Dr. R told me I have 4 leading follicles around 11mm to 13mm on the right ovary (+ a bunch of smaller ones ---his words) and 1 leading 12mm on left (+ 5 smaller ones) so far. I am doing 2 more Bravelle injections before I go in for another blood work and sonogram on Friday. I am still waiting for the call with the blood work results.
I forgot to ask what my lining was. RE didn't mention it...hopefully that means it was okay.
How big (mature) are the follicles supposed to get (for the most part)?
Do I have a good number?
Sorry if I seem naive and ask too many questions, this is our first cycle for IUI.....

It's been awhile since I did IUI's but I believe when the lead follicles reach about 18mm or so they have you trigger. You do not want all of those follicles to mature because that would be a lot for an IUI cycle. I think follicles larger than 14 or 15 are released when you trigger.

Good luckl!!!! You are off to a great start!
Thank you very much I am looking forward to Friday. Hopefully we will trigger then. DH is so ready to give his contribution

I think that number of follies is great for 5 days of stimming.
