What were your follice sizes when you triggered?

Hi ladies. Obsessing about immature eggs here. Don't mind me I have a cycle coming soon and then ill leave you all alone lol. My problem has been immaure eggs and I am wondering when different REs trigger. I have been reading Dr. Shers blog and he claims a lot of things that I don't know how he came to believe but I will ask him that when I have my phone consultation with him. He claims that immature eggs can not be prevented by letting eggs sit in the follices for a longer period of time. He claims that immaure eggs can be caused by giving the trigger too early AND too late. Dr. Sher says the timing of the hcg is critical and he triggers his patients when a few of the larger follicles are no bigger than 22mm and 50% of the others are 15mm. But my last cycle I had 9 eggs between 21 and 16mm and the rest between 12 and 15mm and all the eggs were immature. So I don't know if I belive him on that one. I'm just wanting to see what size others REs trigger them at and how many mature eggs did you get? Thanks girls

    Interesting responses. My largest 2 were 18mm and the majority of the rest were between 14-17 with several more smaller. We retrieved 16 and all were mature. However only 9 fertilized, one abnormally. 4 made it to blast.

    I've heard (and my experience supports this) that they want them in the high teens and not too much bigger, although I think I had one at 20-21. 
    Me: 28, no diagnosis  DH: 33, MFI, severely low morphology, diagnosed 3/14
    IVF #1: May/June 2014: 10R/8F, 1 morula transferred = BFN, nothing to freeze.
    IVF #2: July/August 2014: 18R/12M/8F, 2 blastocysts transferred = BFN, nothing to freeze.
    IVF #3: October/November 2014: 22R/17M/15F, 2 early blastocysts transferred = BFN, nothing to freeze.
