First, let me just say my grandma and my husband both think I should compromise on trigger times and do it at like 4am thursday morning so it's half-way between what I want, and waht my doctor wants.

I have 1 18mm egg, and 3-5 16mm Eggs, estrogen levels are 1100 roughly.

I was told I could trigger tonight, or take 75more of the meds and trigger tomorrow, but not thursday. I was told if I wanted to trigger thursday, I would have to make another 9 hour round trip adventure to the dr's tomorrow, in order to "wait that long" to trigger.???

Their excuse? That i might hyper stimulate and estrogen would go too high. I'm lower than I was at my last trigger (which was 1825.) and I was on the meds 3 days longer than this time... so I feel like I at LEAST need to go a day or two longer... I wanted to trigger when an egg was at least 20mm - which thursday would be right around the time.

They won't let me wait till thursday, because I won't come in tomorrow to scan/labs??? But if I can trigger tomorrow night, why can't it wait until thursday lunchtime roughly? Like, my gut is telling me thursday is when I *should* be triggering, but they won't let me "go that long" if I don't come in tomorrow.

They didn't sound confident in their decisions when I talked to them on the phone it was all like "you can trigger tonight, or take another 75ish of the meds, and trigger tomorrow night and come back monday."

If I still can take more meds, before the trigger, why would they have me trigger tonight if "I felt like it?"

Like... my gut tells me thursday. They don't want to let me go to thursday if I don't come in tomorrow, but when I offered to drive up thursday, they also told me they wouldn't let me wait that long in case I needed to trigger tomorrow night anyways.

Sigh. I feel like I can't win and I don't understand exactly why tomorrow matters so much in the whole scheme of things. If they were going to let me wait till thursday if I come up tomorrow, why not just let me trigger thursday? If they want me to trigger tomorrow, why did they want me there tomorrow if I can just trigger tomorrow night?

Like... it just doesn't feel right to do it tonight, and obviously didn't look promising to them, either or they wouldn't have told me to use more meds tonight and then trigger tomorrow...



I'm not the type of person to lie to my doctor, which is why my husband suggested a compromise and do it "super late after midnight" so we compromise on doctors orders, and what my gut's telling me to do



the nurse wouldn't even try to compromise with me about triggering thursday unless I made a second trip up there tomorrow, and I just can't do it. My kids can't do it, I can't do that drive 2 days in a row with out putting my life at risk, it's just too far and too many hours staring at bright roads that make my eyes tired. I need a day break inbetween to be safe on the road. They just don't seem to understand how hard these drives are for those of us who have to travel so far.

I tried to compromise with them and say I'd come back up thursday morning first thing, but that wasn't an acceptable answer to them either

whenever you want - your body

Will do readback later Just wanted to say hi thought I did great in therapy and as i was walking out hand and arm went crazy at least it was witnessed and documented Have to check the birds and not much of anything else.

glad they were able to see it and document it

Death Star?

Yeh, and what about pictures of the possible puppy babies that someone has?

ok, so i was born at home, my mom gently roused my dad around 2 and said 'i think i am having contractions' him 'uh huh'
a couple hours later- 'david i think you need to call the doctor' him: ' uh huh'
6 am-ish my mom gets out of bed to sit on the couch on the living room, my brothers also are up and start watching Star Wars on the end of the couch, my dad finally gets up and calls the doctor (fyi my dad is a paramedic ) my moms BFF is there at this point and my mom says ' i think the baby is coming' so her bff says push!, my dad tells her to wait for the doctor
WELL - i came flying into the world as THE DEATH-STAR BLOWS UP!!!! on Halloween, my brothers say i am the devils child and it was an omen
doctor was approx 4 hours late to my delivery, my dad cut/tied umbilical

Chicks-
i will get baby pics soon, they are on my phone, i think

Well, yup, hard hard rain here. Lots and lots and lots of rain. We needed rain. Too bad it has to come down all at once like an overturned bucket.

Puppy was bedraggled and wanted to be picked up and held. I hugged and snuggled her and carried her around while checking on everyone, then put her inside her coop (where everyone else was totally dry, BTW).

Earl was NOT pleased about the heavy rain. (This is his "We are not amused" face. Well, ok, so that's what he looks like all the time - reminds me of an old physics teacher.)

lol theyre so cute!

@DwayneNLiz My ankle is about normal now, and conditioning is interesting

@BantyChooks I just was at Atwoods and thought of you. I saw these ducks whatever they are
View attachment 1024552

thats great!

Toulouse and Emden, maybe? They're so cute!!

theyre ducks not geese

My temperature was on 97-98. I didn't really think of calibrating my thermometer, how do u do that?

temp was too low- ideal temp at center of egg is 99.5*F most run 99.8-100.5, higher if still air
what incubator are you using??
too late to correct anything now but we can def help for your next set

So I candled them and there seems to be veins in them and an air sack. Does this mean they're still alive? Everything else is too dark to identify

veins sounds like they are alive but VERY late, give them a couple more days, and dont be surprised if none make it
