A member asked:

What's the ideal size for follicles before an iui treatment? my wife has 2 follicles at 22 and 23 mm.

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Around 20 mm: 18-20 mm is ideal but it depends on the infertility specialist. It also depends if it is an unmedicated IUI or if a BHCG trigger shot is being given for ovulation
