Ghost/Anyone - ER 37 vs 36 hours after HCG shot?

Post by itsgottawork »

Hi Folks,
Has anyone had any experience/information on having the ER scheduled 37 hours after the HCG shot instead of 36 hours?
My doctor said in some cases the extra hour has allowed more eggs to mature and that there has been higher success in some women when they wait the extra hour. He recommends it in my case as I have previously had a lot of eggs retrieved but not all were mature enough.
I wondered if others had this same experience/recommendation?
Thanks for any info!

We've never tried it, but the argument makes sense.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

While mine was scheduled for 36 hours later, there was a backup because some other lady didn't drink the water she was supposed to, so the rest of us had to wait. It ended up being at least an hour later, perhaps even close to two, and it still worked out for me!!! :D
