So I got a call from Nurse. My Estradiol is 120. Higher than 2 days ago (75). But still sounds low for a 19mm follicle. They decided to Hcg

I don't think you are wasting your time. I think that from what I have read online, you still have a really good shot at this. Just my two cents.

Good luck! Go spermies!

YAY! Your follie sounds really nice, and you KNOW you are going to ovulate with that HCG trigger, AND you are getting the spermies put right where they need to be! I am crossing everything for you! Is your doc going to give you a beta at a certain day?
I haven't been where you are but have read a lot about it because I think I probably should be! I've read about IUI, IVF, a ton of other acronymed procedures LOL...and then I've lurked on the infertility board here. I also read a couple books, and a blog from a good fertility doc online. That's why I said I think you have a really good shot, and I don't think your doctor would have continued if he didn't think you did too!

So when you go tomorrow, just relax and think happy spermie/egg vibes!

Sperm: "Well, hello there beautiful"
Egg: "Hmmm you aren't bad looking...but you have a lot of friends. Why should I pick you?"
Sperm: "Because I got here first?"
Egg: "Good enough!"

hehehe....

My RE's office told me that anything around 200-600 units of estradiol means a follie is mature. 120 sounds very low, like the follie isn't quite there yet. I was triggered at 21mm and 236 of E2 (Clomid cycle).

I would ask more questions. I've heard of some offices trying to "avoid" coming in on Sundays for IUIs, so they'll either schedule them on Sat (too early) or Mon (too late).

I would just ask more questions! Good luck!
