HELP!

4:10 PM - Screw this. We've made our decision. (Option #1, for those playing along at home.) I am to trigger on the earlier side (about 6 PM), with about 2/3 of the medication in the syringe. IUI on Friday morning.

Post remains below, for posterity.

Dr. Quixotic just called. It's never a good sign when the doctor calls on a screening day instead of a nurse. He is, to put it mildly, not happy with the number of follicles we have going, and has presented us with three options:

Option 1 - Trigger tonight, IUI on Friday. He estimates I have a 50% chance of getting pregnant...but if I do get pregnant, there is a 40% chance it'll be twins, and a 10% chance of triplets or higher. He said we need to be prepared to consider selective reduction. Ezra and I are already reasonably certain we'd reduce quads or higher down to twins, but we would have to do more research on triplets. (Ironically, this eliminates the problem of IUI vs. wedding pictures.)

Option 2 - Cancel the cycle. Wait for a period, then birth control for a cycle, then move on to another treatment cycle, either IUI or IVF. Ezra points out that we have no guarantee the same too-many-follicles issue won't happen with the next IUI cycle, either.

Option 3 - Convert to IVF, and transfer back only one embryo. Dr. Q estimates about a 30% success rate given how things look so far. We're also likely to require retrieval on Saturday or Sunday. (That would mean a last-minute Shabbat in a randoom motel, which we are not mentally prepared for, or else missing the wedding entirely, or both.)

We need to decide within about an hour...we already know which way we're leaning, but if there's any advice or assvice out there, we'll take it!
