I'm still at 7. Two of my follicles are over 20 mm, but one or two is still around 15. They want to get those little ones bigger so we have enough eggs. I was told by the ultrasound tech that if I were on a different protocol (i.e. not having PGD) I would have triggered already. This just boosts my feeling that this cycle has been a bust. I am not responding as well as they had hoped, and we're just clinging to some lofty follicle number goals. I know that it isn't impossible for this cycle to work. It could. However, I will be shocked if we have even one embryo to transfer this cycle. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be shocked with that information. However, I am not holding out much hope that this cycle will work out.
I still have yet to be called for instruction, but I can't imagine that I won't be triggered. Two of my follicles are getting too big and won't have usable eggs soon. This is a balancing act, and I think it's starting to tip. I wonder if the RE is caught up in surgery or something and that is why I haven't heard back. I heard pretty early the past two ultrasound days. I mean, I'm assuming they consult with the doctor before they call me.
After this cycle is over, even if there is a healthy embryo, I want to talk to the doctor about this whole cycle, I think.
Update: Trigger is indeed tonight. Retrieval is Wednesday morning. Here we go....

Good grief- you too huh? Kind of ironic that we are dodging cancellations for the opposite problem. Neither is good. :(
*hug* I will hope that you get a miracle - one perfect blast which is chromosomally normal.
Hang in there, hon. I'm hoping for you.
My fingers are crossed that in those 7 follicles is your group of really amazing eggs!
Will be thinking about you on Wednesday.

Good luck! Hopefully you'll get them all.
