Triggering tonight with 5 follicles

I'm going for my 4th and final round of egg retrieval on Wednesday. At my final scan today, I had 5 follicles measuring 21, 20, 15, 14, and 14. I’m not too optimistic about the smaller follicles because, in the past, only those 16mm and above at trigger have resulted in mature eggs. Each time, I’ve retrieved 3 mature eggs. This time, I’m guessing the number of mature eggs might be two, but I’m still hoping for better numbers.

From the previous 3 retrievals, I have one untested day-5 blastocyst. I really hope to get at least one more this cycle. Since we’re paying out of pocket, we can’t afford another round. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Update: I’m still in disbelief about my ER results! The doctor managed to retrieve 6 eggs, and 5 of them have fertilized. Now, I have to wait until Monday to find out how many blasts I get. I truly believe it was the doctor who worked her magic this time. I only had 5 follicles, but she somehow retrieved 6 eggs—something that’s never happened to me before. During my 3rd ER, I had 6 follicles, but the doctor was only able to get 4 eggs, and also struggled to reach my follicles. This time, with a different doctor, she easily accessed them all. I’m so grateful and silently blessing her in my heart.
