Infertility

Triggering tonight!

I just got the call that I will be triggering tonight!

I am on day 9 of stims, but my estrogen has been on the high end (4,658 today). I'm definitely at risk for OHSS and a possible freeze-all, but my lining is good, and I have a ton of eggs (20+ at the least), so I'm hoping for the best. They have instructed me to do a half dose of HCG (so 5,000 units). It will be my first IM shot, so I'm a little nervous for that.

ER is on Monday morning! I can't believe this is really happening!
