Trigger shot side effects? *hpt pics added* pg5*tweakers welcome

So I tested again this morning. My opk was a lot darker than yesterdays. My FRER was bfn. And my dollar store test once again has a faint second line. I dont trust it though....at all!

I have a good feeling! My doctor told me that a POAS test wouldn't pick up the hormone after 10 days, if you are getting a BFP, even if it is faint, at 14dp trigger there's a good chance its real! I am dying to know for sure, I'm on pins and needles for you!

Also just read in your sig that you are starting Femera if you aren't successful. I used it this cycle and its good stuff. Released two large eggs with the trigger shot, and it metabolizes out quickly so you don't feel as bad for as long, and after over a year of trying we are finally pregnant!

This mornings test...can anyone tweak?

The dollar store test was + but the FRER was -.

Im new to the thread, I took the trigger on 12/7, when do the side effect usually go away? this is the first one that I have ever taken!

 

[Mommyagain]

Im still having s/e from the progesterone suppositories. Not sure how long the trigger contributed.

 

[MrsSnails]

I start the progesterone tonight! is this going to make me feel worse?

I'm not sure how to tweak a pic but there is a lady in the 2WW area that has a thread just for tweaking pics. Just a thought if you can find someone here to tweak it. Good luck to you!!

Not really sure how long the side effects from the trigger lasted, I thought they lasted FOREVER but turns out it worked for me and I was actually preggo! I do remember the first couple of days after I took it feeling very achy all over. About a week later I got VERY sick to my stomach and my arms and legs just felt very heavy, but I'm not sure if its from the trigger or if I just had a bug. I am taking progesterone suppositories now. The first couple of days I had a lot of headaches but those have mostly passed. My husband says I smell different, I think its from the progesterone The worst part of those is the *TMI* leaking out, be sure to wear a panty liner!

Mommyagain please again today!! I am convinced its a real BFP! Keep us posted!

Well it was bfn this morning so I threw my tests away. Im going to stop my progesterone and wait on af. Then Im starting letrezole (generic femera).

Anyone care to share any femera/leterzole stories or side effects. Does anyone know the odds of multiples? When I took clomid I was told you got multiples in about 10% of patients. This will be my first time on the letrezole. I pray this is what helps me.

I think chances of multiples are less with Femara. But it will prob depend on how responsible a specialist you have. They shouldn't prescribe too high a dosage uless you don't respond to it lower. x

 

[Mommyagain]

I think they are starting me off on 5 mg. When I was on clomid I didnt respond until my dose was upped to 150mg.

 

[cooch]

Blimey. I was worried that there was only 1 good sized follicle at my scan and my specialist said- that's all we want! Suppose I don't want to lose follicles if its unnecessary and 1 would be good enough for me.

Mommyagain, I took Letrezole and an HCG trigger shot this past cycle and BAM, after over a year of trying we are now pregnant! Not saying it will be such a miracle drug for everyone, but I have nothing bad to say about it! I was a little bit emotional and had some hot flashes, but nothing unbearable. The chances of multiples are lower, but I did release 2 eggs and the way my HCG levels are climbing we are very suspicious of twins. I hope it works for you!

 

[Mommyagain]

When is your scan? Let me know if its twins!!!!

 

[BrittasticTX]

I had one yesterday morning at 4w5d. There is for sure one sac in there, but he couldn't confirm or rule out a second one, there is a shadow that could definitely be a second sac, or could be just shadow. I have my next scan on Jan 4th. I will be almost 8 weeks then and it should be much more clear. My dr is still pretty convinced its two though, my HCG went from 50 to 180 in 48 hours, then from 180 to over 1200 in four days. The numbers aren't super high for how far along I am, but they are tripling every 48 hours instead of doubling, so fingers crossed!! I would love twins!

Why was this thread ended?! I was jut getting into it!! ) NEWBIE TO THE SITE! I am on my3rd round of clomid/follistim/trigger/progesterone..........I am currently 6dpo (the dreaded TWW) and I am having a few symptoms, but I'm not sure if they are from the trigger shot or progesterone!! I want a BFP soooo bad I am probably imagining symptoms! We are having to pay for everything out of pocket rght now, I am hoping it works out for us this time! We may have to take a break until more money comes in if not! (

Congrats on the BFP BrittasticTX!! Are you havng twins then?!

Mommyagain.....Hang in there! We made it happen once, we can do it again! :O)

 

[Mommyagain]

Hello and welcome! My trigger gave me a lot of pregnancy symptoms.

Im currently cd22 of my first letrozole cycle. Not sure dpo because I got so many positive opks. My cd12 u/s showed three possible contenders in my left ovary.

Good luck with your cycle!

 

[BrittasticTX]

No twins, just one little duckling in there but I am very grateful for that one healthy baby! My symptoms didn't really kick in until I was about 6 1/2 weeks, but I do remember feeling pretty awful after the trigger. good luck mommyagain and mrssnider!
