Hi there!

I posted something a few days ago, but it looks like it didn't save for some reason. Hmm.

Oh well. Anyway, as I posted on Monday, I grew three follicles (25 mm, 20 mm, and 19 mm). The OB said that the two smaller follicles would not trigger, but I've asked around a lot online and that isn't quite what other people are saying. Most women say their doctors say one that the HCG shot will trigger ALL follicles to rupture, but only mature eggs will be able to be fertilized. Some doctors say a "mature" egg is 18 mm, some doctors say 20 mm.

So, I'm a little worried about multiples. I guess the fact is that each egg has only a 15% chance to become a baby, and the truth is that I have additional problems, like the fibroids, but still I'm worried!

At the same time, I'm really excited. The PROBABILITY is that at least one, and probably only one, will implant. So, I have a better chance this month than at any other time.
