clomid follicle scan questions
Question:
Hi Kim I don’t know the answers to all of your questions, but I think that progesterone supplements in the second half of your cycle can improve the lining. Have you tested your CM? I know that insemination can be helpful, but my doc likes to try 3 cycles without before trying it. You didn’t mention how many Clomid cycles you had been through. Good luck and fertile thoughts!

I have heard that a herb called red raspberry is good for uterine lining

Here is my question: Is it possible for both the 13 and 14mm follicles to ovulate from the same ovary? Or, does multiple ovulation come from different ovaries? Is there anything that can be done at this point to encourage both follicles to ovulate?
Yes, yes, and yes!…when you ovulate, ALL of them *should* come out. You will either have an LH surge, which will probably do the job, or your RE is making sure, with an HCG injection to be on the safe side. You’ve got your bases covered! My lining was only 3.0. I know this is very thin. Is there anything that can be done to help it along. I would hate to ovulate but fail to conceive because the environment is not good for implantation. Please advise.
Yea, it’s thin. Get yourself some evening primrose oil tablets 500mg 2x per day and see if that helps at all…My clinic likes it to be 6, minimum. You may want to ask your RE about some other supplementation to build the lining if this month isn’t the lucky one…but you still have time for it to grow. My RE has not recommended IUIs, but I would love to try an insemination. I fear that clomid may have adverse effects on my cervical fluid.
So buy a bottle of robitussin while you’re buying the evening primrose capsules, and then you may get more mucous…plain robitussin, 4x daily around the day or two before ovulation is expected… and some extra glasses of water. When are IUIs warranted? How do I convince my RE to let us give that a try? My wonderful DH is game.
Hmmmm, if you have the insurance coverage, go for it..it will eliminate the cervical mucous problem because it by-passes the cervix… — Trisha93 5+ yrs IUI,IVF, FET,twin m/c out-of-town FET on May 19th

Hi everyone, I posted this message to alt.infertility also in hopes of more responses. I apologize in advance if that is bad NG etiquette. Well, I had my day 12 follicle scan this AM. I am on 100mg clomid days 3-7 and Metformin 1500mg for PCOS. I was excited to see 2 dominant follicles on my left ovary at 13mm and 14mm. On my right ovary, there was a smaller follicle at 11mm. It’s funny because I am "feeling" my right ovary. Here is my question: Is it possible for both the 13 and 14mm follicles to ovulate from the same ovary? Or, does multiple ovulation come from different ovaries? Is there anything that can be done at this point to encourage both follicles to ovulate? Doc said follicles will ovulate when they reach 22-26mm and they grow about 2mm/day. If I do not detect an LH surge I go back Monday for another scan and possible HCG injection. My lining was only 3.0. I know this is very thin. Is there anything that can be done to help it along. I would hate to ovulate but fail to conceive because the environment is not good for implantation. Please advise. My RE has not recommended IUIs, but I would love to try an insemination.

Please know that while I don’t post often, I read this NG often and have learned so very much from all of you. I would greatly appreciate any answers to any/all of these questions. Thanks and positive thoughts for all, Kim
