How many follicles did you have...

On Clomid. I had my CD 10 ultrasound today and she seemed surprised by the amount of follicles I had because I am on the lowest dosage of clomid (50 mg). I had 4.

Did you have 4 lead follies or just 4 follies?

I never had more than 1 mature follie on clomid.

She didn't say. She just said, "wow! i wasn't expecting that many on such a low dose of clomid. You have 4 follies, but she said one was small so she I expecting 3 eggs." Or something like that.

I have a 2 year old who had to come with me today, so it was hard for me to pay close attention.

You should have a bunch of follicles each month, whether or not you're on meds. Then one takes the lead and matures.

On Clomid, you're trying to get 1 really good one or a few good ones. So it sounds like you might have 3 mature - which is really good on such a low dose of Clomid. It's also possible all 3 might not mature. I'm not sure which CD you're on or what sizes your follies were. Are you triggering? Going back for more monitoring?

Re: How many follicles did you have...

I had one good follie each month, but my last try, one of the smaller ones must have caught up because I am preggo with twins....

GOOD LUCK!

I was on CD 10 yesterday when she checked. I am not triggering, and no more monitoring until the IUI.

I guess I was just a little confused because she seemed so surprised by the amount, when i thought that was the purpose of clomid, to produce more eggs.

My highest was 9. After that they cut my dosage to 50mg for 3 days and I ended up with 1-3 usually per cycle. Most cycles only 1.
