My E2 did not go down. (However, it was not as high as I thought it was – apparently yesterday it was only at 6050, not 6500 – that is a good thing.) Today it’s… 6051.<\/p>\n
However, the head doctor – the one in charge of my case – has decided that I should trigger anyways. Retrieval is set for Thursday morning, 9am. I take my trigger at 7pm tonight, giving me that 38 hour interval that has the potential to make all the difference.<\/p>\n
Now I’m not really sure why he decided to trigger me today and not yesterday. I don’t think the nurses do either. Maybe he’s worried that waiting longer will hurt my eggs, maybe he just thinks that waiting longer won’t help the E2. I’m really not sure why yesterday we waited and today we don’t, but there’s obviously some reasoning behind it.<\/p>\n
My levels are not at a crazy level – but they’re certainly within the risk range. However I just looked at my first cycle levels, and on trigger day they were 5500, so not that much lower… and if I got any OHSS that cycle it was supremely mild.<\/p>\n
But more than my health I am worried about my poor little eggs. How many there ends up being retrieved is not nearly so important to me as how many – if any – are mature enough. Will the early trigger be enough? Did my eggs get a slow enough start to be good quality? Friday is going to be the worst wait yet.<\/p>\n
Onward to retrieval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
