Stims day 16 & trigger time!!

[Rol81]

Went for my scan this morning, we are going ahead with egg collection Monday .

So the big trigger injection Saturday night .🎉

I’m always worried something will go wrong with the trigger, it’s spills , the syringe breaks or some disaster 🙈

My follicles are:

2 measuring 20mm,

3 measuring 15mm,

1 x 13mm, 1 x11mm and 1 x10mm

I had another 2 but they were 22.5 so defo over cooked by collection. And 3 more around 6mm, way too small.

Im trying to be realistic of how many will be the right maturity but the nurse wouldn’t say 🙄I’m worried the 2 at 20mm will also be over mature. So annoying they don’t all grow at the same rate!

Anyways I’m going ahead and glad to be getting to this stage.

Now trying to prepare mentally for all the waiting and anxiety ahead 🙈🫣not to mention fragmin and prontogest injections to look forward too!!

Anyone else triggering this weekend ?

Hope everyone’s cycles are going well ❤️❤️

Hi Rol. In short, the numbers are looking good. Wishing you every success. Diane

Hey I think them numbers look good! I have a good feeling… all my fingers and toes crossed 🤞 Xx

I think the 22 mm ones have a good chance of being mature and not overcooked. I have had follicles in the past at 25mm at trigger and they were fine. Good luck xx

[Rol81 in reply to Skittles11]

Ah skittles thanks, I wasn’t sure, I thought over 22 the quality would not be good. I was worrying all month they wouldn’t grow and now I’m worrying some will grow too much. Always something to worry about isn’t there?! Thanks for reassurance. Hope you’re ok xx

[Skittles11 in reply to Rol81]

Yes it is massively worrying and I do understand the anxiety, been there myself too many times. I have had mixed results as you may know but I know in the past my larger follicles contained mature eggs that fertilised and went on to make blasts xx

[Rol81 in reply to Skittles11]

Yes, you’ve been through a lot too. I appreciate your words of encouragement and good to know about the larger follicles . Thx xxx

Hi Rol,

I've got my last scan tomorrow and then hopefully triggering tomorrow night as well! Had one follicle that the consultant thought might have been ready if we triggered on weds and collected today but there was another that looked like it might catch up if we went to monday so we postponed.

So annoying that they don't do ECs on Sat / Sun! Anyway fingers crossed I at least get 2 this round and that waiting longer doesn't overcook the one that looked the most promising by then. And totally agree, sooo annoying that they don't grow at the same rates! If any more of the tiny ones want to catch up by then that will be most welcome as well!

Good luck on monday!

Hiya. Awww it’s never ending worry, I wish they would do collections on Sundays too!!So we will be trigger buddies 💪🏼 and let’s hope the little ones catch up xxx

[ki50 in reply to Rol81]

Yes we will be! Crossing fingers and toes and everything else for us both! xx

[ki50 in reply to ki50]

Hi Rol81, how did you get on with your collection? Hope it went well x

[Rol81 in reply to ki50]

Hi xx 7 collected, some were on the small side but waiting to find out if any good / fertilised. You? x

[ki50 in reply to Rol81]

That's great! I had 4, same with waiting to hear back but we'll be freezing all due to super thick lining this time round! X

[Rol81 in reply to ki50]

I’ve just messaged you privately too xx
