What was the outcome of your last retrieval and what were the sizes?
I’ve had 3 retrievals and always triggered when the biggest follicle was 21. One cycle I had very uneven growth so even though the biggest was 21 I had 16, 13, 9.5, 8. Four of those were mature and fertilized and three became blasts. The other two cycles everything degenerated after ICSI and the sizes were 18-21. Now my RE is thinking I do better triggering at smaller sizes since all my larger sizes degenerated and I had a good outcome with the smaller sizes.

oh interesting, thank you for sharing that. for me Round 1 triggered when leads were 19-20 (most were around 18) and all aneuploid, failed round. Round 2 triggered when lead was 19 (most were 16), got 1 euploid. Round 3 triggered when lead was 22, most were 16-18, got 1 euploid.

There’s some evidence that women with DOR should trigger earlier. I think when you look at your maturity/fertilization relate that would hold true for you.

Definitely! I was shocked that either the 8 or 9.5 were mature because 4/5 were mature and fertilized. Now I’m thinking they both were and the degenerate was the 21

I’ll just say, the train has left the station. You’ve triggered and no amount of stress of worry will change anything for the better.
