I have had mine done at 36 hours and then 38 hours in subsequent retrievals and it wasn't a problem. The reason they did it in my case was to try and improve the maturity of the eggs. If you are unsure and want a more detailed explanation I would ask your clinic their reasons, they should be able to explain to you and put your mind at rest x

Hi Sheila. 36-37 hours after trigger shot - hCG. I wouldn’t want to go over 38 as timing is important. Good luck. Diane
