oh no, typical pcos problems

Well, I had bloodwork only on 2/9/06 (CD6), my E2 was 283, so they told me to come into the office today (CD8). When I got there, I had a 20 mm follicle on the right ovary, left ovary had a 12, 14.8 and 16 mm follicle. Lining was triple striped, but they did not tell me the thickness. Well, my nurse told me I am triggering tonight. I guess I should be happy, but I know that stimming for only 5 days is not good, especially for PCOS patients. I asked the nurse if i could trigger later and wait for the smaller follicles on my left to catch up, but she said no, because by waiting i could stimulate a LH surge and lose all the follicles on the left. She said that at her clinic, anything over 14 is potentially mature. i am almost to my wit's end. it's like i already know the cycle is failed. I need to talk to my RE about this and see what he thinks for my next cycle. maybe i should go down to 25 units/day rather than 37.5. Actually, i was taking 41.6 units, since the follistim pen does not have 37.5 on the dial. i wonder if that could have anything to do with it. Oh, this is soo frustrating, i feel like 2000 is down the toilet. Shirley
