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've been in Follistim 150-250mg. Today's ultrasound showed four follicles ranging from 15 to 21mm. I'm due to get inseminated Monday. I hope this first round works. I'm 43 and in excellent health, with one pregnancy 8 yrs ago. I'm also receiving acupuncture, which I'm told really works. The father and I are hoping for twins to get our family done in one shot. I'd have three if the conditions were right! Pregnancy is just the first phase. Keeping the pregnancy viable is the next step. Positive thoughts, anyone?
