Dorchestor, you had the trigger plus egg collection so I'd fully expect normal natural progesterone support regardless of whether there was an egg.
LH 20 is pretty high they should have started cetrotide earlier . I think the general rule is to start cetrotide on LH above 10 or follicles above 13mm (I'm not 100% about the 13mm number though).
Re estrogen levels, it's personal and possibly for you 700-800 is enough but I think generally its expected to be closer to 1000 at trigger. For me it needs to be at least 1500 for a good quality egg but I always had increased estrogen levels.
18mm Follicles with a 7mm lining combined with baseline level bloods (and by that I understand low LH low estrogen), could indicate a cyst. But its hard to be certain . 7mm sounds low for trigger level lining but if its your normal level than it could have been a follicle. Although with low estrogen levels the quality was probably not so good.

feels almost the same minus the mask. The flights were fine but outrageously expensive considering I just came out for scan/blood and meds. I'll still probably save a bit on German meds compared to UK prices (or generally lack of necessary meds). I would not be able to even start this cycle of i didn't stock up last year in Munich.
