IVF Day 9

This can be quite a roller coaster experience, which I am trying my best to enjoy the ride and not sweat too much about it.  Today is Day 9 and I am back at the hospital waiting for my scan.  I was initially hopeful that I could have my Egg Retrieval on Thursday! 

However, the scan showed that my follicles are kinda growing slower than expected.  Today, lining is 11mm and there are 20 follicles ranging from 9-17mm.  Growth was only 1mm in a day.  Out of the 20 follicles, only 2 of them were above 16mm and ready for retrieval.

Doc had quite a dilemma - Should he arrange for Egg Retrieval on Thursday?  Should he extend stimulation by 1 more day and if yes, at what dosage of Puregon.  Eventually, it was decided:

• Today Day 9 - I get a jab of 200units of Puregon
• Tomorrow Day 10 - I would be back at the hospital for a blood test in the morning and the trigger shot at night. Time of trigger - not confirmed yet.
• Egg Retrieval on Day 12 with Egg Transfer 3 days later

Updating the table, it now looks like this:
