Brief Answer:
Wait 1-2 days before triggering.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us.

Ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to next due date if you have cycle length of 28-30 days.

It is your 9th day of cycle and I suggest to undergo follicular study on D11 also to monitor follicle size.

Usually, follicle ruptures within 20-24 mm size. You can go for trigger injection after waiting 1 to 2 days and most of them rupture within 36 to 40 hrs after triggering.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

Regards,
