Follicles, injectables, Estrodiol and Trigger shot

[readyforbaby]

I saw my doctor today for cd 15 ultrasound check. This is what he found:
3 follicles on my left measuring 20.5, 16 and 16. He advised I inject one more does of Menopur (75 iui) today and trigger before noon tomorrow. My estrodiol was only at 636... is this high enough?
Do you think I have a decent chance? Also, how far from trigger shot should I O? I am thinking BDing the day of and then the next day, about 32-34 hours after trigger.
Any advice/inspiration?

Thanks!

bump... anyone?

 

[readyforbaby]

haha. thanks! 44 people have read my post and no one has anything to say... guess I am probably SOL on my words of encouragement. I am not throwing in the towel yet even so

Hi there ready. I just popped my head in and I'm not sure I can help or not, but we'll see how we go. Are you doing IUI? As for me, I haven't done any IUI's but when I was on clomid and had the trigger shot (didn't get follicle sizes or blood readings given to me), I was told to bed that night and the next day. Apparently you O within 24 - 36 hours after the shot. I hope this was of some help, hang in there, I'm sure the answers will come along shortly

Thanks lioness. We BD the day of trigger and the next 2 days, so hopefully we are covered. Hubby will not be able to go for another day!
I see you had d&c in May - very sorry to hear, I miscarried in May. I appreciate your words and understanding!

 

[lioness168]

I'm sorry to hear you had a m/c in May, hope your feeling a bit better now . Sounds like you have covered the most crucial days, you could always throw one more in for good luck if your both up to it...can't see how it would hurt . How long have you been ttc?

 

[readyforbaby]

Thanks. We are going to try to go again today but I am rally doubting this is going to happen. However, I am worried as my temperature hasn't confirmed ovulation. Actually, it has been going down... strange, I know.

We have been "officially" ttc for a year as we were married last October. However, unofficially, we never used protection and didn't mind if we had a baby before a wedding. We have been together (though somewhat off an on) since 1997 so we always knew we wanted children.

How about you?

I think timewise you should be okay. Good luck!

Hey there ready, feel free to check out my journal as it has it all there. But in a nut shell I guess its been about 2 years now ttc and now going through IVF, FX for a BFP this cycle! So are you guys temping, opks etc???

 

[readyforbaby]

Yes, have been temping but unfortuantely it seems I didn't ovulate this cycle. I can't figure out why. I have sorta been using opks, though they dont seem to make sense. I am awaiting a call back from my dr. to see if there is any reason he can figure that I wouldn't o. Any ideas?

2 years, wow. FX for a BFP this cycle!!!

 

[lioness168]

Thanks ready . I dont know why you didnt ovulate this cycle, but from memory, I think it does happen sometimes, so if its occasionally I dont think it is anything to worry about, but dont quote me on this though as I am not sure, best to ask the professionals I say . Are your cycles regular?

 

[wish2bmama]

Hey Ready! When I did triggers last time I was told I O'd 24 to 36 hours later. HOWEVER, I had two O. My left ovary ovulated 24-36 hours after the right. Odd huh? haha. Your bd timing looks good to me.

FX for you!

 

[readyforbaby]

Hi,
Yes, my cycles are pretty regular but a little on the longer side. Wish2be- so strange about he different O's - but that is great too because you have more time to cover your bases right?

My temperature finally went up yesterday and with taking out some pre-o bbts, I think this could be my chart going triphasic (I hope) unless I just ovulated. I am getting a progesterone test tomorrow that I requested as I wanted to verify I ovulated since my temps don't confirm.
Lioness - I have to get caught up with your journal!
