The ultimate goal is to have 2 or 3 follicles reach approximately 18mm in diameter. Once that is the case and once the lining is appropriately thick (>7mm), a patient is instructed to take the “trigger” medication. The “trigger shot” prompts mature eggs to be released in 36-40 hours.
What is good endometrial thickness for IUI?

22 to 24 mm

Can you get pregnant with uterine lining of 4mm?
Many studies have found a thin endometrium to be associated with a lower implantation rate, but no absolute cutoff for endometrial thickness exists; good pregnancy rates have been reported in cycles with endometrium <6 mm, and a successful pregnancy has been reported with endometrial thickness of only 4 mm [17].
Is 7mm endometrium good for pregnancy?
Patients with an endometrial thickness between 7–8 mm had a decreased pregnancy rate, but no significant difference was shown when compared to patients with endometrial thickness in 8-14 mm. Implantation is necessary for a successful pregnancy and requires healthy endometrial receptivity [17].
How many times should I try IUI?
If you are under the age of 40, a typical recommendation is to complete three cycles of IUI before trying IVF treatment. If you are over the age of 40, your provider might suggest that you only try one IUI cycle—if any. If that cycle fails, it would be recommended that you try IVF.
