Hi! This happened to me during my First IUI cycle too. Everything progressed very slowly. My follicle only started to wake up from day 16 onwards. Day 14 my biggest was 12mm only and day 16 it was 15.5mm. And it was quite fast after that. 20mm was my last scan and following that I triggered myself with a shot . IUI was 38 hrs later (day 21) but then I didn’t get pregnant that cycle. I feel first cycle it’s more of trial and error so I’m in my cycle 2 already. Cycle 2 doc started me on higher dose of puregon so let’s see if this cycle will be better . I actually went back my hosp to scan n check follicle size 6 or 7 times!
Good luck to u!!!

Wow...baby dust to u...hope ur 2nd cycle will be successful!! ❤ Did the doc advised to go for 2nd cycle instead of ivf? I'm not sure if this fails should i go straight to ivf...my Day 13 scan,mine was only 8.5mm..by any chance do u take any supplements during the cycle? I'm currently only taking folic acid.
Thanks!

I plan to only try IUI .. so will not be thinking about ivf at this moment. I didn’t even take a break and ask to do 2nd one back to back. I took folic acid, and vitamin D. Now I just started on Coq10.

I’m not too sure what works for the follicle but
I tried the red bean soup as many have advised and it really did help for my uterine lining. So this cycle I am drinking again after my menses stopped.

Where r u doing ur IUI? Mine is kkh and they quite careful la in terms of stimulating my follicles, started w 50 then 75 then 100 for my puregon. Really slow for me, last time I took letrozole before IUI and I ovulated at day14 kind. This puregon I think need time to know what dose works best haha. Anyway Now straight away they start me on 75. I’m going for my day8 scan tmr shall see what happens! Let’s be positive! Hopefully ur follicles will start growing more these few days!
