Boy, did the dildocam hurt today. I know my left ovary can be difficult to find, but wow.
I decided to take a small gamble b/c the NP gave me a choice. My follicles are at 18.5 (20x17) and two 14s and lining is 8b and triple layer. She said I could trigger tonight and do insems Thursday and Friday. Or I could do another Gonal-F shot tonight and trigger tomorrow and give the 14s the opportunity to catch up. Waiting until Thursday to trigger gives us a 40% chance that at least one of the 14s will be mature. The only potential detriment to waiting is the slim possibility that I might ovulate on my own and miss the insem and only have the one follicle. However, today is only cycle day 12 and last month I didn't trigger until cd 13 when my lead follicle was 20 and my lining was a 10, so I think I made an ok choice to wait. On non-medicated cycles, I don't ovulate until cd 16, at the very earliest and usually more like cd 17 or 18. But I hate that I even attempt to second guess myself with these decisions.
Ah hell, it is what it is. I know very distinctly when I ovulate because I get really strong ovulation pain, so I guess I can always call if I start that process.

FWIW, I probably would have done the same thing. It's hard to pass up the chance for another follie!
Good luck with it all!
I think I'd opt to do one more day of the Gonal-F and then the trigger shot. You may O on your own, but insemination tomorrow would still catch it. It cuts down on travel time for the little guys.
