To cancel stim cycle or not?

Hey everybody, we're going through our first IVF stim cycle and are unsure of if we should cancel this cycle and try again. So I guess I'm looking for advice/outcomes for those in a similar situation.

35F, slight DOR, doing ivf due to genetic issues

I've been doing provera and started at 200follistim, then upped it to 300. I'm on stim day 11 with 7 follicles, only 1 measuring above 10mm at 13mm. I did gain a follicle today but still small. I also estrogen primed.

The nurse told us it's unlikely the others will grow and catch up to the leader at this point. I'm still waiting on today's bloodwork to correlate and see if ovulation is on the horizon.

What would y'all do in this situation? Keep stimming over the weekend and scan on Monday or save the meds over the weekend and call it quits now? We don't want to go to ER for just 1, since there's 50% odds of a genetic defect.

TIA!
