Going for 10

Dr. C did my ultrasound this morning, before the office opened. He didn't measure all of my follicles, as the technician would have, but just generally got an idea as to what size the lead follicle was to confirm tonight's trigger shot.

Lead follicle is a 21, so unless something unexpected turns up from my bloodwork, I will administer the hcg trigger shot tonight and go in Friday morning for the egg retrieval.

He commented that I have fewer follicles this time, but thought my E2 (estriodal) level was more in line with the number of mature follicles. Last cycle, my E2 (which correlates with the number of mature follicles) was higher than it should have been according to follicle measurements attained from the ultrasounds. So, he figures there will be 10 mature follicles to go for on Friday and he estimates he'll get 8.
