What's a good follicle size on CD9 while on Femara???

   Today I went to have a u/s and b/w done! I am currently on CD9, I had 3 on my right ovary all three were at 10mm, and on my left I had three as well 2 measuring at 9 and one at 8!

    How fast do they grow and what are my chances of them being mature for ovulation and conception on CD14? I go back for another u/s and more b/w on 11-5-10 which will be CD11. Has anyone gotten pregnant with smaller follicles measuring between 14-18mm?  

   I am starting to drive myself crazy had been doing alot of research and not able to find anything that helps me keep faith!

   Thank in advance for your responce and SSBD to all!!

    No IUI, went again today for another U/S and even more bad news. For some reason my follicles are not growing. There still sitting at 10's. They told me that this is a test run cycle to see how my body responds to everything.
    It's not fun at all, I have bruises all over my arms from them taking so much blood in the last few days. Starting to wish they would just do IVF and get this over with! Were not sure if I'll even O on my own, and dont know when either so wasting lots of money with OPK since he wants me to use the clear blue digital everyday!
    Ahh faith is running out more quickly than I had planned, my RE is never in his office for me to talk to since he has two other offices in Pensacola,FL  Mobile,AL  and Jacksonville, FL.. It's so aggervating, disappointing and i'm taking it out on my DH even though he can't control it! I hope and praying that I never have a little girl I dont want her to have to go through any of this when she is ready for a family, I want it to just happen for her! Hmmm I have to work tonight and I have no idea how I am even going to be able to fake a smile for 8 hours..
    
    Lord please help me find the strengh I need to continue through this long sharp curved path.. One step foward 20 steps back!

            Thats amazing, It grew fast. I'm hoping that I wont O until CD15 so maybe I can have another 24 hours of growing on my side! I go again today at 9am CD11 to have another U/S done so I will know for sure how fast they are growing everyday and maybe have a better understand of your chances this cycle. Hoping for the best, I am very nervious about this one!    
            
               Congrads, I hope you have a very happy and healthy nine months!!                 Keep me posted!

Hi, mine were 9 on right and 11 left on CD10. By CD 15 one was 12 and the other was 20.5. The one that was 11 never progressed any further. I was told anything over 15 is possible but they like to see over 18. I was also told about 2mm per day is normal. I am now 6.5 wks pg. Good luck to you!

That is a ok size. They grow any thing from 1mm - 2mms per day.
My doc said any thing from 17 upwards is fine to fall pregnant and not impossible on 15..
