What size do your REs want your follicles on the day of the trigger shot?

Thanks Noonoo - I peep in on the due dates thread every once in a while to check on you!

Today I had one 22 mm, two 20.5 mm, two 20 mm, two 19.5 mm, one 17.5 mm, two 16.5 mm, one 16 mm, four 15 mm, and one 11 mm. I trigger tonight and go in bright and early Saturday morning (January 17) Of course, I am obsessing and worrying that maybe I should have triggered last night, maybe they are too big, maybe the egg will not be any good because I waited so long, what if I ovulate before then.... You know, the typical worry about everything that you have no control over

Good luck Sat. I worried about the same thing. I triggered last night and had some at 23 and 20 and I wondered if I should have triggered earlier. I go in the morning for ER so we will see. I hope they are all still there. GOOD LUCK!!

secondchapter - I hope the Lupron keeps me from ovulating. I take my last dose of it tonight. The doctor told me that it would. I remember about a month ago there was someone who had ovulated all but three of her eggs out by the time of retrieval. It is rare I think. I am just obsessing

Robyn - good luck! Have you felt any different since you triggered? I need to get back to the January thread to catch up on everybody!!! What time do you have to be there?

My RE wanted them over 18 - 20 mm, some got way up into the 25+ range since I had to coast for a few days. I think you should be fine.

GOOD LUCK!!!
