Early Egg release-Ghost, anyone?

[amandago]

Hi all,
I have my retrieval scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have 30-35 follicles. Due to my response, they triggered me with Lupron instead of HCG to help reduce the chance of OHSS.

I feel a little different this afternoon, not as much pressure...but, I still feel my ovaries.

Is it possible that the eggs released early?

Has that happeend to anyone? Does anyone know the likelihood of that happening?

I am in total freak out mode right now. I put a call into my doctor and am waiting on that.

Baby dust to all,

Very unlikely that you already ovulated just 24 hours after a trigger, but it's possible if the antagonist failed and you had your LH surge before the Lupron trigger.

You may feel lousy for 2-3 days.

Are you doing a fresh transfer? Most clinics prefer to freeze all after a Lupron trigger.

They are leaning towards freezing and doing an FET in March.

Out of curiosity, why do they prefer to freeze with Lupron?

Thanks so much!

Most clinics have found the uterine environment to be less receptive following a Lupron trigger. One exception is the University of Connecticut, where they give more luteal support and get a reasonably receptive endometrium.

Hi Ghost,

You were right. I will not transfer this cycle for exactly the reason you said. I am walking away with 31 eggs! I know they will not all be mature and/or develop to blasts, but I am hoping for some good numbers!

Thanks for all info!
