HCG Trigger Shot- Help??

[FaithnHope41]

Got my progesterone test results back, doctor said they looked really great!! I am at a 19.6. I hope it's good and I was wrong about when I am supposed to start. He said you usually ovulate 8-10 days before you start your period, so if that is true, AF is due to start anywhere from today through Sunday. Cross your fingers that I miss it! I can't test til next Friday! Hope you girls have a great day!

That's great. How many dpo are you. 7?

I am 8dpo today.

Fx'd means fingers crossed. Yeah 19.6 shows you had a good strong ovulation.

 

[FaithnHope41]

Thank you!! Sounds like you are having some good symptoms! The first time I had the shot, I felt I think every symptom possible, but I also think that is because I never used to get a real period (a couple times only) and the hormone was a wake up call for my body! lol I am super sleepy today, and felt as if I wanted to eat alllll day, but wasn't hungry. Yes, next week needs to get here STAT! I am dying wanting to tell people. Since I have to wait to get my levels drawn next week I am going to POAS each day just to make sure lines get darker and stay dark *only way to decrease stress* However, I know it is all in God's hands and he will protect my baby

Today was good. Just very long....just wanted to tell co-workers sooo bad! Praying for good levels!

I didn't see this post yesterday!! Sorry!! Wasn't ignoring it! I am in the same boat as you. I have always had an abnormal cycle which is why the had me take provera to start my cycle the first three rounds, BUT I finally started on my own with this cycle!! I was so happy. I can't imagine how bad you want to tell people. I would have such a hard time keeping it a secret. You are in my prayers though, can't wait to hear what your levels are next week! God will take care of us!

I just received the HCG trigger injection on Thursday at noon. Doctor told us to BD that day and as much as possible on Friday. I keep reading how you are supposed to ovulate about 36 hours post HCG trigger. and I am wondering why I was told to start BDing so quickly. :/ I will say though that I was in so much pain Thursday and Friday, I know it sounds crazy, but I think I felt my ovaries working. So I don't know, maybe I O'd on Friday. CM was stringy and consisted of an egg white. We BD Thursday night, Friday after work and before bed, then again on Saturday morning. I am hoping we timed it alright! Any info or feedback is very much appreciated! Also, if any of you have any success stories from having the HCG trigger shot with Clomid, please share your stories! They are encouraging! Baby dust to you all!!

First off holy crap we took our trigger shots on the same day! And second my doctor told me to BD 24 and 36 hours after taking the shot but of course I did it 24, 36, and 48 to be sure!
I'm not doing clomid though. I am on the gonal f pen and I had a ton of follicles this month. I mean when the nurse is giving you a ultra sound and says: "WOW" Thats gotta mean somehting right?!
I felt nothing on my first round but this time OMG! I have this feeling down there in my lower abdomen that hasn't went away and because of that I feel this might be my month. I also have the whole tired feeling, sore breast and nipples, headaches, lower back cramps, and all that. I had a super sniffer before so the fact I can smell good doesn't mean anything to me.

I am crossing my fingers for you! Let me know how things work out!!

That's great!! Hopefully that feeling is a good sign! We will have to keep each other posted on our results! When do you test? And have you gone in for a progesterone test?

Never had a progesterone test. Don't really know what that is. I just wait two week and if I haven't had my period then I take a blood test.
I will be testing on the 20th. You? Any signs? Any feelings?

 

[FaithnHope41]

I will be testing on either the 20th or the 21st depending whether or not AF comes. Boobs have really been hurting badly since Tuesday, I have had some cramping, and am super bloated. Hopefully they are early signs and hoping that they are not signs that AF is near. I am so anxious to test, wish next week was alread here!!

 

[TNK]

FaithnHope41 Those are good signs too! I'm not even thinking about AF this month. I don't want to see her!!! For the first time in over a year I have a good feeling and I am clinging onto that feeling!
I am going out of mind! This part of the month is always the worst. I hate waiting!! I'm trying to keep my mind busy so I don't think about it as much but you know how that all goes, in the back of your head your still thinking about it.

My cousin just had her second baby yesterday and I am so happy for her but God how I wish it was my turn!

 

[FaithnHope41]

That's wonderful- I hope you get your BFP tomorrow! Let me know!

Doct told me to wait 5-7 days after missed period to test and AF is due anywhere between today and Sunday. I hope she doesn't come!! She needs to just move away for 9 months! Haha Boobs hurt so badly today and I have had a headache since last night that comes and goes so I really don't know what to make of it all. Keeping fingers crossed!!

 

[TNK]

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

[FaithnHope41]

Thanks gal!!!

 

[FaithnHope41]

And ditto!!

 

[TNK]

I really need to get offline and stop reading! LOL!
The more I read about implantation cramping the more excited I get!! Seems it happens right around this time for most women. I am 8dpo. I need to relax, take a deep breath, and lay down and watch TV!

Are you cramping too?! I have felt like crap tonight! Lots of cramping and breasts hurt more than ever! I skipped out on dinner with friends because I just feel crappy, no other good word for it!

 

[TNK]

My breast have never hurt this much and of course the cramping is making me feel just great!
I walked downstairs to grab a water and while I was standing in the computer room talking to my husband I had this sharp pain in my lower abdomen. God I hope thats a good sign. Who knows what it means.

 

[FaithnHope41]

Hopefully these are good signs!!

I had a dream last night that AF came and I woke up in tears this morning! Then to make my morning better, I was leaving for work and noticed my key fob was missing off my key ring, so I flipped out because it is $350 to replace. I am really hoping I find it because it only went missing between work and home. So I know it has to be somewhere!

 

[TNK]

OMG! I hope you found it!!!!!

The sharp pain turned out to be a bad thing. After that pain I went upstairs to lay down listen to music to clear my head and that tight feeling I was so excited about went away and this morning I went out and bought a test and took it. It said negative
My husband wants me to remain upbeat but its hard. I am just waiting around for AF so I can get on birth control for a month then start the injections again. Maybe this time I'll just go for the IUI because I am so tired of this monthly crushing of my heart!

I am so sorry TNK!! I am thinking of you!! I am sure mine will be here too, I am just waiting. I've decided I'd rather wait and think AF is coming than be stressed about symptom checking myself and being upset when I start or test negative because I just stress about it all day. Maybe things will be different this time and I pray that they are, but reality is sinking in and I know the feeling I am having today is probably not good. The only thing that is weird is that my cervix is still high and hasn't dropped. Do you check your cervix often? Does your doctor put you on birth control to regulate your period? My family doctor put me on birth control a year and a half ago for three months because my cycle was so irregular. When I decided to start getting my paps done by an actual ob/gyn and decided I wanted a second opinion on why I was having abnormal periods, my obgyn told me that no doctor should ever put you on birth control if you are trying to conceive...mainly because it can actually prevent you from conceiving if the birth control stays in your system when you stop it, which it can for up to 3 months. Hope you get feeling better hun! Test again in a few days if AF doesn't start. I'll be praying for ya! Keep your head up!

 

[TNK]

You hit the nail on the head! I would rather wait for AF then sit around freaking out over what my body may or may not be doing. Its so nice to finally have someone who understands that! All my friends and family members had no problems getting pregnant except my mother in law she took pills for 6 months and had twins! One of which I married.
Everyone is telling me its to soon to count myself out so I am going to just relax and if AF doesn't show up by Thursday then I'll test. But God I feel so much better! I hate that crazy lady feeling of am I? Could I be? What if? All that drives me nuts. I just want to know and even if the test isn't what I want to see at least I know.

I go to a infertility specialist and the reason for the birth control is to kinda reset my body. I have pretty regular periods. I am doing the injections (Gonal F pen and ovidrel) and what they told me is they cant give you that much hormones every month. It would overload you so what they would like to do is give you the birth control to balance you out and reset your period and all that to prime you up for all the hormones they pump you full off. I have weekly blood tests and ultra sounds to check my follilce count and size. So far I feel they are doing a good job in helping me with my goal. The doctor is so sweet. He's older and so understanding. The nurses could not be more helpful and nice. I ran out of meds this month and they gave me some!! For free!!!!
My mother in law asked them about the birth control staying in your system and the nurse told her it does if you take it for a long time. I always thought that too but I have to trust they know what they are doing. I really have no where else to turn.

Did you ever find your key fob? I said in my last message I hope you found it meaning but the time you read that I had hoped you would of found it.
