Be safe! Ask for a phone number if you need to chat to stay awake. I have been there many times

I may have to take you up on that offer. I have to drive up there and back again on the 16th.

Okay.....

So, on monday, I went, and had 1, maybe 2 possible eggs to trigger. So they had me trigger. I go back today, and they confirmed at least *FIVE* eggs ovulated...................

Two eggs on the side they told me had no eggs.. like ***?

I'm a little freaking out atm, because it's too late to change my mind... and I wouldn't have used a trigger, had I know there were that many potential eggs. 1-2 was my limit.

Do any of you know if egg quality can be a huge factor. I have been getting decent hatch rates with all of my breeds except 1. The weight loss of the eggs are perfect. Thank you for your help.

Could be, could also be nutrition @ChickenCanoe

Guess what? If I didn't know better, I would think you were Duckling's bio mother. She had a shot, and is waiting for the same day to test.

^.^ ***.... except I don't let people watch my kids. I get neurotic about trusting other people. Ever since my mother in law lost my oldest a couple times at a park/disney land, and left my toddler in the car and I came out of the bathroom and was like *** ARE MY KIDS.... I don't trust people anymore. haha

NO ONE is going to look after kids like their mother (or father). No point thinking otherwise.
But it is possible to find reliable/perfectly adequate people - you just have to choose very carefully.
