Carolee, I think you only get one shot. But while your clinic is open, always call. This process is YOUR process. You don't have to feel bad for needing clarification at any time. Call while they are open. Ask them to confirm the instructions. HcG is the single most important shot. Don't ever, ever, ever feel bad about asking them questions. Who is paying for this anyway? Who is trying have the baby? Who is simply in need of a little tiny answer? Get up there girl, and call your nurse. That is why they are there. By the way, Carolee, I remember my trigger last Sunday. I freaked out and couldn't remember the proportions. I wrote in on the forum and with five minutes I had 5 awesome detailed super scientific but easy to follow responses. I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!
Katie, Welcome to the forum. Some people have had low E2 too levels and smaller number of follicles but that doesn't mean they don't have anything to work with. I was freaking out with my E2 levels every day and counting my follies and wondering while everyone else have substantially higher E2 levels. What did your RE tell you? So what if you have to take a few extra days of shots, this is so you can have you little snugglebug!!! And, if for some reason this didn't work out this time, your doctor would know a lot about you. My doctor learned about me every step of the way. From how i respond to meds, to my natural E2 production, to which one of my ovaries is my producer. At least they are checking you and making adjustments. Hang in there. That is only a week. The week I was on stims was the longest so far. I heard it only gets longer. LOL. If we weren't tough enough to handle it, we would be such awesome tough future mommys. After you've had your moment of doubt, repeat to yourself, It is what it is and I'll make the darn best of it! Come on back and voice your concerns, fears, and good news as often as you'd like.
