3rd monitoring appointment

i have 7 follies (still 5 that are good but other 2 may catch up). 5 are between 13-18 and 2 are 8 and 10. My E2 at my last appointment was 765 and that was day before yesterday which had doubled from the previous one so i'm hoping it doubles again.
She said I would probably do retrieval on Monday. I am really hopeful that my bloodwork comes back awesome and she says to do retrieval sunday so I don't have to brave 10 inches of snow tomorrow for another monitoring appointment.
Any thoughts on whether you think she would have me trigger tonight or tomorrow night?

Re: 3rd monitoring appointment
Your stats are similar to what mine were - 6 measurable follicles (16/17/18 ish size) at my 3rd appt and e2 was 650ish. She thought about having me trigger that day, then when she saw the e2, she said she wanted to wait one more day to let the e2 get over 700 so I triggered the next day.
Hope that helps.

January PAL Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
Hi cycle buddy!
I had my 2nd monitoring appointment yesterday and my follies sizes were more or less like yours, my lead follie was only 16 yesterday but today it should be 18 too. My e2 was 1310 and my RE is having me trigger on saturday and ER will be monday. My clinic only does ERs on mondays, wednesdays and fridays, so I had no choice. We both agreed that an ER on wednesday would be too late, as the lead follie would already be 28 by then. FX for our ER!

thanks boots! it does! I''m sooooooo hopeful that she will just have me trigger tonight and come in on Sunday for ER!
so excited for both of us!!! lots of luck!
Whether you're told to trigger tonight or tomorrow probably depends on what that e2 is today. If you said it was 765 2 days ago and is doubling then I'd imagine you're probably looking at 1200-1500 today which I'd venture to guess means you've got a good chance of getting as many eggs as follicles or close to it. If the largest is 18 though, they may have you go another night just to give it a little time to grow and for the 8 and 10 to catch up too. Although keep in mind that after your trigger those follies will sprout up a little more before ER too so there's hope either way for the 8 and 10!!! Plus, its been my experience that as long as you have a fair amount of "mature follies" then its more likely for the smaller ones to have eggs too. I've gotten 19 eggs from 20 follies where I had 10s in the group too!
Good luck, can't wait to see when your trigger ends up being!

E2 came back at 1413 which means it doubled again from Wednesday. Excited and nervous at the same time!!! Does that mean I actually have 7 mature eggs? Or the possibility of that? Even with the IUI's with 3 follies my E2 never got above a 250. I'm starting to get uncomfortable today and it happened quite quickly.
Monitoring appointment tomorrow (probably last one!) and hoping for ER on Monday!
