I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI.

Follicle Size

1. Ideal size: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range.
2. Monitoring: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI.

Endometrium Thickness

1. Ideal thickness: 6-10 mm for IUI.
2. Current thickness: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range.
3. Waiting for 16th day: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable.

Next Steps

1. Follow your doctor's advice: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness.
2. Continue monitoring follicle growth: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI.
3. Discuss trigger shot options: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation.

Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!
