IVF 5: Day 13

No trigger tonight. Monitoring was quick and painless this morning. There are a few follicles ready, especially that giant one that sped up ahead of everyone else, but there's also a crop of smaller ones they're giving a chance to grow. They like seeing the largest one at 20 and the big one is even bigger than that. At about 28 they start to atrophy so they may need to sacrifice it to give the others time to grow.

They couldn't tell me for sure if trigger is Friday but no trigger tonight no Saturday retrieval. After tonight's dose I'm out of meds - no more Menopur or Gonal F. So I'll play it by ear. If I don't get retrieval info tomorrow I'll have to refill meds. More annoying is that if they want to continue stimming past tomorrow then that means I'll likely have to come in on Saturday for bloodwork, so not totally out of the woods with Shabbat conflict just yet.

Next appointment tomorrow morning.
