how many follicles do you need to boost IUI success?

[jennyfer976]

I had IUI today they said I had 2 follicles mature on my rt. ovary. Doc says they were like 23 and 25mm so they were a good size. Hubbys sperm count was high, modility was excellent, and everything sounded good. I just don't know what they are comparing all this to. I went online and did some research and most sites are saying 3-4 follicles for IUI is best for success. I am just pryaing 2 will do! Any reassurance?

I just started the first cycle of IUI but we had to cancel since there were 9 mature follicles :(   I was doing injectable at 150 IU/daily.  They will be cutting that in half last month.  On Day 7, ultrasound said I had 4 follicles and they had me come back on Day 9 and I had 9.  I just don't know why they had me continue taking the injections after day 7 showed 4 follicles?

Ovulations predictors never worked for me.  I did timed egg release with iui to get pregnant.

Need some help/tips...My husband and I have been trying for six years to have children.  Finally got pregnant June 2011 even with PCOS, but lost the baby in September.  February 2012, went to a different doctor to get the problems worked out.  I have been put on a diet to get healthier for a pregnancy.  Since February 2012 my uterus and ovaries have been constantly monitored.  Was trying to get my cycles regular and improve my uterus. Wasn't improving as much as they would like.  In May 2012 I was given hcg shots as well as other fertility drugs.  Didn't work naturally.  In June 2012 had an IUI done with 5 million in sperm count, it didn't take.  After the first try, my doctor scheduled surgery in August 2012 for my ovaries, uterus, and tubes.  Pretty much had them cleaned up as well as cutting out the polyps around my ovaries.  Doctor has been extremely happy on how well the surgery results have been.  September 2012 I received my second IUI with only 1 million in sperm count with 2 follicles.  Hoping for the best even with the low sperm count.  Before the IUI, the doctor reassured me, not promising, but said getting pregnant would have a better chance now with things cleared out and everything looking good for a home for a baby.  I took gonal shots and 10,000 hcg shot.  How promising is the IUI taking and me becoming pregnant?  Please give me your thoughts if you can.  Thank you!

Praying for you on your IUI..........Best wishes.

I did IUI last month & had 4 follies.  I didn't have any luck though.  I do hear many positive stories though.
