Newbie in tww

I'm new to posting but like many I have been lurking the site and community for a while. My husband and I are both 24 ttc and after a year and two months on our own we wanted to get checked out. My husband is A+ but I have low progesterone and had a lap to remove ends and some polyps. From what I have read I have lots of symptoms of Pcos but my RE has not diagnosed it yet. We did our first cycle in October and did letrozole with follistim and trigger with timed intercourse and got a BFN we had one mature follicle at a 17 at trigger. And then we took a month off due to cysts. This month I did the same protocol and I had four follicles measuring 15.6, 20, 20.8 and a 21.9. I'm now 6dpt and I am testing out the trigger. I'm know that I'm definitely at risk for multiples but my RE did  to even mention it to me. Is there something I'm missing that would make not worry?

    Wow... 4! I'd probably be a little nervous as well, though I'm sure the doc has appropriate rationale for the decision. How have you been feeling?

    I'm feeling anxious and feeling some mild cramps and that is making me nervous. But the last cycle I don't remember feeling them this early so maybe earlier is good?

    I've triggered with 4 before (with timed intercourse). This past cycle I triggered with 3 (I'm in my tww now after an IUI). I have PCOS, and have always needed to take a month off between cycles because of cysts.

    The odds of multiples is lower than the odds of getting pregnant in the first place (which isn't the most encouraging in terms of getting pregnant but is nice to know if you're worried about multiples). Based on what I've seen, my RE is fine triggering with 4, but probably wouldn't do more than that. I like the idea of having multiple follies because it makes me feel like I have more of an opportunity for at least one to work out. And I'm actually kinda thinking I wouldn't mind twins because it's like 2 for the price of 1!

    Thank you I do not necessarily want a pregnancy that will risk the healthy of my baby but two I for one does sound like a good deal and we will take how ever many God will bless us with! 
    How are you getting through your tww? I decided to test out the trigger this time and I think it is just making it harder and longer! Praying for you to have a BFP too!
