8 follies and timed intercourse

Ok, so my doctor told me today (CD14) that she has never seen someone produce 8 mature follicles with Clomid. She told me that I had way too many and not to take my trigger shot or have intercourse. I went home and talked it over with my husband and we decided we just couldn't let this cycle go to waste. We've been trying for over six years, and found out I have PCOS in 2005. We decided to do the trigger today and then had intercourse, and we plan to go forward with whatever happens. My question is...how likely is it that all 8 eggs will fertilize? We couldn't possibly get pregnant with more than two or three, right? Especially since we aren't doing IUI.

A line is a line, no matter how faint it is and believe me, I have sonic sight when it comes to scouring for BFPs.  I'm with some of the other girls, I would have done the same thing as you.  Fingers crossed that you are pregnant.  

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is the "trigger shot" something to do with PCOS or what has to be taken after clomid?

Hi,

a faint line is still a positive.  And you're only 11 days post ovulation.

Wishing you one, or at most two healthy babies.  Let us know how you go.

I got an extremely faint line this evening on a $ Tree test...I'm still not sure what to think, but for now, I'm hopeful!

Good Luck to you although I am with the other ladies & don't think it was the best idea. Even though Octo mom did IVF......
Kate plus eight got pregnant via IUI.  Anything is possible.......
