So, just left RE appointment. Ultrasound showing 3 follicles on left ovary measuring 17mm, 18.5mm and 19mm. She said all those are great! Right ovary had 4 follicles under 10mm. She wants me to do my Pregnyl Hcg injection tomorrow night but begin having sex right away. She said she wanted the boys waiting for the girls because the girls don't wait around love it!! FX ladies!!
that's great news! FX those boys hook up with one of the girls. No middle school dance action going on... they are in the big leagues now. Yes, I'm a dork but really happy for you.

Just curious, happyktmom, what did your RE say about the possibility of multiples with Clomid? Fear of multiples is one of the reasons I didn't agree to use it. My RE didn't seem concerned about multiples, but I didn't write down his rationale at the time.

URMySunshine77,There is a 7% risk of multiples when using clomid and 10% when combing it with the Pregnyl. I'll be honest, my DH is not on board with using Clomid and does not know I made the decision to use it. Some may say that's shady but he knows me and he knows I do what I want Anyway, with my PCOS I would guess the chance for multiples is less because I'm spewing off a whole bunch of immature follicles every cycle. ie. this cycle it's 7 I think. Only 2 of these follicles are actually the right size. Now, did waiting another 36 hours to do my HCG trigger help give them more time to mature and get bigger? Absolutely. But they usually increase only 1mm/day so I may have 3 follicles with good eggs ready to rock n roll in the next 36 hours we have to get as many boys in there as possible. As you can tell, it's all very visual for me! HA! I'll be in BIG BIG trouble if all 3 of these eggs become embryo's and so forth. BIG TROUBLE! But, I'm telling you - I have had dreams every night for the last year that I'm going to have triplets. Totally weird.

Just lurking from another board, and I was just curious happyktmom... You didn't tell your husband you were taking Clomid? I do not know enough about Clomid to make too many comments about it, but my worry is not telling your husband? I think a TTC journey has to do with the husband and wife, and a decision that could affect you both long term, should be a decision you both make together.
