released?
> Hello
> I am 37 (DH is 35)...TTC #1...(FSH level normal but on the higher
> end...CD3 range from 8-10.3)
> My HSG was good and husband's SA was great.
>
> I have had 2 chemical pregnancies in the last 3 cycles...the 1st one was
> a natural cycle...last one was a 50mg of clomid cycle.
> (My betas on DPO14 were arounf 30...2 days later...in the 40's)
>
> This is my 3rd clomid cycle...I was monitored by ultrasound this cycle
> (not the others)...
> CD12 - dominant follicle was 14mm
> CD14 - dominant follicle was 21.4mm
> - lining was at 6.6mm...triple layer was evident
> CD16...Ovulation day (confirmed by OPK and temp rise next day)
>
> My Question...is there a correlation between very good dominant follicle
> development before release of egg and the health of the egg?
>
> (Of course, I am wondering this because chromosomal issues with the egg
