Clomid and IUI
I have PCOS - started clomid on 2/6/2012
Came in for CD12 scan - had a few follicles 10mm and 1 follicle 12mm
I have to come back tomorrow for another scan.
But I am really anxious and nervous.. Are these follicle size normal?
What Should I expect tomorrow?

The goal for ovulation induction is one dominant follicle to emerge, and it sounds like you are on track. Sometimes it can take longer for patients with PCOS so hang in there, and good luck with tomorrow's scan.

Hello and welcome to Fertile Grounds. These follicle sizes are most certainly normal early in a Clomid cycle. It sounds like you just need some more time for us to see how your ovaries are responding to the medication, particularly if you don't ovulate on your own without Clomid. When you are monitored tomorrow, the doctor will assess your ovaries again to see if the follicles have grown. You will likely also have your blood drawn for us to see if your hormones are changing as a result of the Clomid. Hang in there and good luck!

We are considering trying for another child, our first was via NCIVF and it took 3 tries to get a bfp. How many cycles is reasonable for another bfp?See More

I'm 7dp3dt and tested twice this morning with two positive results... In the previous days, I have gotten only negatives so I *think* the trigger must be out of my system. Could this be a real positive or is it too early?See More
Mark Payson, MD replied to Alice's discussion natural cycle for a 43yo?"The odds do decrease with age. Interestingly the numbers for 43-44 year olds are not much different than 40-42, but that is probably because the sample size is much smaller (ie in statistics if your sample is small then plus or minus one pregnancy…"

You mentioned that patients aged 40-42 who make it to transfer in your practice have a 13% chance of having a baby.
