Been for my scan today.

Thickness - 11.7
Left - 4 below 10
Right - 5 below 10, 2 at 10 and 1 at 11.

They are keeping me on the same dosage (4 powders) and I have another scan on Friday to see how they are doing. I would have liked them to be a bit bigger but they seem happy as I have another 7 days of stimming. I am keeping them warm every night with a hot water bottle so hopefully they will grow bigger and stronger.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping positive.!

That sounds great! Follicles grow approx 2mm/day, so the 10 and 11mm ones should be more than ready and the smaller 9 should catch up soon (is it something like 7mm?):T

Which CD are you?

I am on CD19. They didn't say what size the under 10 were but I am hoping they are going to grow sooner rather than later. Last time I only had 3 eggs this time I want at least double that to increase my chances.

Just popping back in to say hi. We're starting ttc again this month - I've lost all my weight and am at target, and turned 40 last month so need to get on with it!#

A recap on me - I have one five year old boy, but then three miscarriages since then. Have had all tests possible, and have two blood clotting disorders. Was already taking aspirin and injecting clexane for the last two pgs, so the only thing they could think of was for me to lose weight (I was just into the obese category). I'm now in the normal range so I've done everything I can to prepare. If I lose another one then I've run out of ideas and I guess it's just one of those things. Wish me luck!

Good luck Sarah!:j

Jujugaboo, your follicles and mine are virtually identical sizes, my 2 follicles were 11mm on Monday! My next scan is Thursday while yours is on Friday.
We are almost cycle buddies!:beer:

Yes, my first IUI (wish it was ICSI though:o).

Good luck with the IUI, you never know it could work. I am on my second ICSI and its not easy but then nothing is when your trying to conceive for us lot.

Congratulations on the weight loss Sarahs999! It's a massive achievement to hit your target - how much did you lose? Sorry for being nosey;) Tell me to mind my own business if you want!

A quick update - AF arrived today on CD 30 which is my longest cycle for about a year! Must mean I ov'd late which is s0ds law because we didn't BD after I'd normally ov because DH had to save up his swimmers for his...erm...sample! Good news (I think) because my blood tests & DH's SA all came back normal. Dr wants us to give it 3 more months before he refers us so that's what we'll do. I feel more relaxed about it now we have a time scale to work to.

Good luck with the scans Quaver & Jujugaboo.

I'm on holiday next week but hope to come back to some good news and some BFP's if possible!

Good luck ladies, sticky stuff all round!
