So I've been sitting here second-guessing everything, and wondering if triggering tonight is the right decision. After a couple hours of agonizing, DH told me to call the clinic emergency line and talk to Dr H. So I did.
He said I was his only "think about it" case for the day. He has the ones he totally knows what to do with, and then puts aside the files he needs to think about. Apparently he thinks triggering either tonight or tomorrow will be fine, and didn't have a huge preference for either. He said I have 6-7 follicles between 18-21mm (ideal range), and that he's worried that if we wait another day my E2 will really jump, or we might end up with a ton more follicles of poorer quality. That if we trigger tonight, we can be pretty sure of a bunch of good quality ones, and may just be left with none to freeze. If we wait for tomorrow to trigger, some may end up postmature, and we can't be sure what will catch up to take their place.
He even gave me the option to talk him into waiting a day. I'm really not sure what to do. He said I could email him if I change my mind and want to stim one more day.
Help! I'm very anxious about this. I think I should just trust him and the nurse and go for the trigger tonight. And just pray we have great quality in the ones we've got.
What do you think or what would you do? And remember, my E2 is in pmol/L, or 3.671 times the US units of pg/mL.

I don't know much (OK I don't know squat) about IVF but I would trust Dr.H and do what his instincts were in the first place. Trigger tonight.
Well, I always second-guess doctors, but Dr H has turned out to be someone whose judgment I trust completely. But he's human, so do what your gut tells you to do. Wishing you wisdom as you make the decision!
My gut is churning. Now that I'm 10min from the trigger time and 4 hours late on the stims, I think I'll go with his gut instinct and trigger tonight. I just hope he's right and we get enough good ones that this works!
Good luck Kate!
Just checking in - I see you made a decision, so good luck!
I'm afraid I have no wisdom in making this decision. Given total freedom to choose, I'd have said trigger tomorrow with an E2 of 11000 or so. But he thinks that might be worse for me, so I guess I've gone along with his thoughts. I hope I don't have to shell out another $11000 and say I told you so in the future!
I'm sure there's no perfect way to do any of this. I'll just be praying for a good outcome.
