Ivf help: How high was your trigger shot?

I'm trying to find some information about trigger shots and the general levels of Hcg people are prescribed? After a completely failed cycle in January (where I had 10 eggs retrieved but only one fertilised) and a cancelled cycle due to Covid-19- I'm now in the process of a third cycle. At the moment there is very little monitoring at my clinic and no opportunity to ask questions and I am feeling very anxious about everything. After I googled storing my medicine in hot weather, I accidentally found out that people are prescribed 10.000 Hcg. I have always been prescribed 5000 (Gonasi) so I asked my clinic for some information via email. As a reply I was told I could pick up a prescription as it doesn't really make a difference either way (and I'm at low risk of OHSS). Now I don't know what to do. I don't necessarily believe more medicine is better but with the previous disaster I am wondering if it would be a good idea to increase the dose. I would be really grateful for any info. If you are happy to share info about your trigger shot then this would be great. I'm particularly wondering what you get prescribed if you are doing mild IVF? Thank you x Flowers
