Clomid/trigger shot timing mess up!

[2much]

How on earth did this happen? Hubby has to travel this coming Monday-Thursday which is CD11-14 and I am going in for my scan and trigger shot on Tuesday (CD12). I feel like we will have totally missed the window.

I screwed it up. I knew he was traveling that week, but it didn't really hit me until today when I was planning our groceries and he said he would be gone next week. NEXT week? Oh my gosh.

I'm so embarrassed.

I feel like I wouldn't have screwed this up so badly if I didn't try to "filter" how much I shared with hubby. He seems to get semi-sensitive to pressure for BD/timing, so despite wanting babies, he just doesn't like to know the details. So while trying to keep everything straight in my already overworked brain, I messed it up.

I feel like puking.

Fingers crossed things aren't ready for the trigger shot on Tuesday...
Any thoughts?

I'd ask not to get a trigger, if you're ready you'll still ovulate soon-ish but that could buy you enough time to BD when your husband comes home.

Yeah I think I will save my trigger for next month (hey maybe I will not need it by then!)

They said to still come in for a scan to check follies, so maybe I won't be ready on Tuesday anyway. Thanks for the advice!

Totally agree with saving your trigger shot. I know when I went through clomid, trigger shot and so forth my Re. actually messed things up. I know when I ovulate and they wouldn't listen to me and put me at cd 14 ovulation and 14 LP. And sure enough when it came time to trigger, it was done too early and I ovulated 72hrs after IUI.

So, I have my fX you two catch the egg on your own without the trigger. But definately get that scan to see where your follies are. I believe they grow like .2mm a day?? I could be wrong. FX for you!!

Arg, sorry you ovulated 72 hours after IUI. How frustrating! Yeah, I am hoping we can catch it on our own. This is our first assistance with a cycle so I was a bit surprised to get a trigger (we are unexplained). Good to know about the follicle growth, I will report back with what I find out tomorrow!

have you been doing OPK or plan to? That can help you to know if and when you may be ready to O/trigger.

Yeah I plan to use OPKs too, heck, why not? LOL. I plan on starting them today just to see. I am hoping I did not O before CD12 on Clomid, I don't think it's very likely. I am really hoping for ovulation CD14-15 which would put hubby back in town.

Of course, now he's texting me saying he thinks he's getting the flu, which he is NEVER sick. So, really seems like everything is against us this cycle.

Edited to add: OPK negative. Had to check since you brought it up.

Good news! My RE said to trigger tonight, should be fine for DTD on Thursday night.

Four follies:
22mm
19mm
18mm
16mm

So three are mature- hoping one or two sticks!

 

[DannaD]

Tonight? But you'll ovulate 24-36 hours after the shot (for me it was 18 hours, twice), it sounds a bit early for Thursday BDing?

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

i agree with danna- if you trigger Tuesday, you may O tomorrow, thursday or even Friday!

Yeah, that's what my RE suggested. I definitely have second guessed, but at this point I don't have a whole lot of options, unless I flew to where hubby is. Either way, we are all happy how I responded to the Clomid! That is good news.

Yes I'm hoping we can catch one on Thursday night when he gets back, and try again Friday too, for good measure!

I pushed him to try to find an earlier flight, but nothing is direct where we live so we are pretty much stuck with Thursday evening as the earliest to DTD.
