?? for those who have done IVF

[sarge1]

I was instructed to take my HCG trigger shot at 12:45 am Monday (today).  My egg retrival will be tomorrow at 11:45 am.  Yes, this is 35 hours after the trigger! My question is, is this normal?  Isn't the timing toooo close? Isn't the trigger supposed to work in 24-36 hours after you take it?  Is there a danger that I will ovulate early and this cycle will all be scrapped?  I am trying not to stress, as I know stress impedes fertility, but my greatest fear is that we won't even get to try (this has happened a few times before with IUI).

You'll be fine! I had my hcg shot on 9/5/07 and the retrieval on 9/7/07. I took the shot at 9 at night and had the retrieval at 8:00 am. Don't worry, the Doctors know what they are doing:) I had 11 follicles and 9 embryos. Just try to relax as best as you can and best of luck tomorrow!!!!

thanks everyone. I guess I need to stop self-diagnosing, second guessing my RE, and thinking that something will go wrong.

You are fine...remember you are going to be sitting in the room getting your IV and things...You are good.
Good luck I will be thinking about you!!!!!!!

Hey there. I had my hcg trigger on Dec 5th and them my egg retrieval on Dec 7th of last year and I had 14 mature follicles and actually became pregnant that cycle (ended at 8 1/2 wks mc though) so I wouldn't worry , sounds like its timed just right!!!
