If there are two follicles the size of 20 and 18 what would be the chance that both would be released?

I had an US today and I don't really know when I'm supposed to get the trigger shot and do the insemination but there was a 20mm in one ovary and a 18 in the other. I suspect they will continue to grow until they're released. Once the trigger shot is given is it usually 36 hrs later the insemination is done?

Depending on your RE's office, some will do 2 IUI's at 12 and then 36 hrs after the trigger and some do 1 IUI at 36 hours after. It is very possible that both eggs could be released, although sometimes only one of them is (sorry, I know that isn't too helpful, but either scenario is possible).

Your follicle sizes sound great! Are you going in for another u/s before they tell you when to trigger?

My RE said I should trigger tonight and the IUI will be tomorrow at 11am. I would like to do a second insemination on sunday a.m., but I don't know if it'll work in DH's schedule (he works at our church and may be hard to get him away). We'll just tell the pastor we're trying to increase the population of the church:D

I'm starting to get a little nervous, in a good way. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and it's finally coming. I don't want to get my hopes up, I'll be happy just to release one good egg.

I won't be looking foward to the 2ww. I know the last time I did IUI (almost 2 years ago) I was constantly thinking about it. So if I disappear from the boards for a few days it's because I'm thinking about the 2ww too much and HAVE to get away from thinking about it. Wish me luck girls. I'll log on just to cheer ya'll- hopefully that'll keep me from thinking about me.:D

The 2ww is so hard... It's nearly impossible not to drive yourself crazy. So, we will totally understand if you need to take a little break, but we will all be thinking of you and really hoping that this cycle is the one!!! I hope all went well with the trigger tonight, and I wish you the all the best for your IUI tomorrow!!!!

Love,
Kelley

Pinkie, I think the odds of both follies releasing an egg are very good! Those are both excellent, mature sized follicles. Your comment was cute too, about increasing the population of the church. :) Good luck with the IUI... Let us know how everything goes!

Good Luck, Pinkie!!
Hope your 2ww isn't too stressful:angel:

Thanks Girls. You're all so sweet to be thinking about me. In about 30 minutes I leave for the RE's office.

The trigger went well last night except DH didn't push in the needle hard enough, only went in about 1 cm and I told him to push it in all the way, so what does he do? pushes it in really SLOOOOWLY. Ouch! At least it's better that the first IUI (2 yrs ago) he pushed it in too hard and didn't think it would go in so easily so he lets go of the syringe. The needle was in but the syringe was waving back and forth.:D:D It was really funny.

Have a great weekend girls.

Hi Pinkie just want to wish you luck and I hope your 2ww flies by.Please know we will be here to help you pass the time.Again GOOD LUCK.

Well the IUI went well. It looks like DH's numbers were good and we're going to do another IUI tomorrow at 1pm.

I'm feeling pretty good now, it feels like any old Saturday (except I'm not working today- had to call in sick.)

Kari- I wanted to congratulate you, that is so exciting. Even if the first number wasn't a mistake it's still a miracle. That is truely a wonderful story you can tell people that miracles do happen and you're living proof.

Mapia, Bees, Kelley and Kari- thank's for the support. You gals are the best! It really means a lot to me that friends that I've never met in person are so supportive and caring. I don't get the same from my friends in town, even the ones that have gone thru IF!

Hey Pinkie, that's great your first IUI went well and DH's counts were good! I really hope all goes well with IUI #2 tomorrow also! I'm also so glad we've found each other here... It's the greatest support I could ever imagine! And thank u for the congrats... I really hope your BFP is very soon to follow!!!

Hi Pinkie things are looking good and thats good that you got to do 2 IUI's.No need to thank us for the support thats odd that friends you know who went through IF dont give you much support.Some people can just be very selfish thats the way I see it.They dont care about anything or anyone they just want to accomplish what they want.The ladies here are so wonderful even after they get a BFP they stick around and support those left behind it really is amazing here.Well good luck again on IUI#2 today.Keep us posted.

Pinkie,

I'm glad all went well with IUI #1! Good luck today, and welcome to the 2ww! I hope that the wait goes very easily for you! Let us know how things went today!

Love,
Kelley
