We BD-ed immediately after the u/s and I think I O'd a day or two after the ultrasound, and got pregnant that cycle (2nd m/c). So I'd say that your 20 mm follicle could def keep growing larger if you haven't O'd yet! You're on Femara, I think? Do you know the typical time frame you're supposed to O after finishing Femara? I know with Clomid they say it's 7-10 days after the last pill. Would seem strange that you would O so soon after finishing the Femara. But you just had that early m/c, which could be throwing everything off too. If you're up for it I think BD-ing again 72 hours after that last attempt would help make sure you do have a good attempt in if you still don't O for a few days. As for your question about me, if it is my autoimmune issue it could be that it has been "flaring up" lately without me knowing it. I wonder if there is a higher level of inflammation in my body right now. My doc doesn't really think it's the issue but I think the RE will take it more seriously. They could probably try a few medications to suppress my immune system which may help but I really don't know. My doc, like you said, still sort of thinks it's a lot of bad luck. Although he and the doctor who did my D&C really think now that it may be that I need baby aspirin/a blood thinner - they think I could just need a bit "thinner blood" for better flood flow to the placenta.... something like that.
