My clinic told me that they base the hCG dose on the E2 levels:
E2 < 3500 -> trigger with 10,000 U
E2 > 3500 -> trigger with 5,000 U
My E2 was 3418, so I was instructed to trigger tonight with the full 10,000 U dose. It seems that my number is borderline, so I hope that I will not overstimulate! Did anyone else with a borderline value trigger with the full dose?
I was also instructed to take my last dose of Lupron 5U between 6 - 7 p.m. Wish me luck!
