Trigger Time!

I was called at 3 PM today and told today is the trigger day....finally. My estrogen hit 3287. My trigger time is promptly at 10:30 PM. I only have a 5 minute window to inject (although the doctor who performed today's sonogram claims it is more like 15 minutes but I will be injecting at exactly 10:30 PM no matter what). I certainly do not want a $9,000 mistake.

Based on my trigger time, my surgery should be scheduled (according to my calculations) for Friday at 9:30 AM. I believe I need to be at NYU one hour before the scheduled surgery time. Luckily, Friday will be a easy day to get into Manhattan since it is the day after Thanksgiving.

I found some websites to show me how to prepare the trigger shot of HCG and also how to inject the HCG. The sites are here (respectively):
