follicle size on trigger day for IVF?

I was hoping for more like 11-12 eggs, because they saw at least that many follicles. 5 fertilized (I posted about that on another thread), so we'll see what the quality is like. I don't really know if they maybe should have gone another day???

you rarely get 100% of what they see on the US scans. Some of smaller follicles might be empty, too. Do not worry too much about it - as long as you have growing embryos you're not out of the running, even if it's 1 or 2.

Thanks. I have 5 embryos growing, at least as of fertilization day 1. 5 of the 7 fertilized. I guess I am in the running but obviously depends how many make it to blast, usually only like 1/2 right?

50% from fertilized to blast seems high.

Both my prior IVF I had 50 percent make it to blast - is that high?

depends on your age and diagnosis. if you're 30 and IVF is due to MFI then it's not high at all.

age 37, and my diagnosis was anovulation/irregular periods.
