Long LP After Failed IUI w/ Trigger Shot?

[Megg33k]

How long was your LP after a failed IUI cycle in which the trigger shot was used?

I had <1 betas at 14dpiui and I'm now 17dpiui and no sign of the . About 36 hours ago, I had a teeny bit of pink tinted CM... but nothing since and I don't even feel like she's coming. I still have all my 2ww (high progesterone) symptoms. My clinic wants me to try and use Provera to force a new cycle if no AF or BFP by Monday... but if I'm still producing a good deal of progesterone, it won't work.

Any advice or anecdotes?

Hope comes soon Megg! At least so you can focus on IVF & not have anything else to worry about.

Thanks, honey! Did they say when you should expect her?

I'm 18dpo today... pink CM twice in 3 days and then I had the teeniest bit of brown today... but I'd have missed it if I wasn't paying close attention. I've never had brown unless it was the very end of AF.

Well when I went for the bloods she said that it was a good sign that I hadn't had any bleeding (hmf!!!) & when she phoned with the result she said that af usually turns up the day of the bloods or the day before. But all my af symptoms have vanished, I really don't feel pms-like at all anymore which is pretty strange!

I've to phone when af arrives anyway, or phone on Monday if a no-show & I guess thay will indeuce a bleed.

It's all so confusing! Do you ever wonder if we actually ov'ed when they thought we did?

OMFG! Same plan as me, eh? YES! I do wonder if we ovulated when they think!!! I HATE the lack of control and guarantees with IUI! I want to KNOW I ovulated and when... etc. That's why I'm going straight to IVF. I can't take the assumptions with IUI!

Now, imagine if they didn't say Monday... Imagine if you were supposed to wait until FRIDAY! That's what I'm going through... and I still haven't seen hide nor hair of the witch. If I ovulated the way they said... Why isn't she showing if I'm not pregnant? (I'm just ranting, but feel free to try and answer! LOL)

Totally! I did have ovulation pains on Thursday night, and I did get some alight af cramps on Monday, so I'd assume I had def ov'd before the Monday, but we'll see when af turns up & see what they say!

Yeah, I hate the 'not knowing' side to IUI; maybe that's why the odds are so rubbish, cause they don't really know what they're doing! Surely they should do a scan just before the actual IUI to see if you've actually ovulated?

Anyway, hope your af shows over the weekend, I will keep everything crossed for you!!!

That's what *I* said! I would have loved another scan to ensure my follies HAD grown according to plan before triggering, a scan to ensure that I had ovulated, and maybe a 7dpo progesterone test. That's not a lot of extra steps, but I would have felt 1000 times more reassured if they'd done them.
