Lets start on Monday: I went to the RE for blood work and US and they said its show time on Tuesday. See this post for more deets
Tuesday: went in and had IUI#1 done. I also received a trigger shot of 5000iu Pregnyl. Trigger shots help the follies in their last stage of growth then they tell all mature follicles to release their eggs. Since I had 4 follies maturing the doctor only wanted me to trigger 5000iu instead of the 10000iu so that I wouldn't release all 4 and risk multiples.
Wednesday: went in and had IUI#2 done. According to RE office I should be ovulating 10:45 tonight....36 hours after trigger shot. Also, with the trigger shot, if you test with a pregnancy test it will come up positive bc the trigger shot is hcg, the pregnancy hormone. I tested MULTIPLE times with my cheapie hpts and couldn't pull any lines. I placed an email to my RE's office asking if it was possible my body did not respond to the trigger. Nurse called me back and told me "oh sweetie, you're not pregnant yet" when I told her I wasn't getting positive hpts. I laughed back in her face and told her no shit, but with 5000iu trigger I should still be pulling positive pregnancy tests. She assured me everything was fine and that I would ovulate at 36 hours without incident. I have been taking OPKs since CD6 with no surge. Today at 7pm I got my first positive OPK. So according to her I should be ovulating in 3 hours? I don't think so.
Thursday: Still surging on my OPKs Darkest one at 3pm. Stopped surging around 7pm tonight and then tests after that were negative. So, I should be ovulating soon according to the tests...and I should have already ovulated according to RE office.
Friday: I wake up this morning and my ovaries are SORE. I am in so much pain. I had an ultrasound scheduled for 7am to confirm ovulation. I think I am going to ovulate today. Mike went with me to this appt so that if we had any questions, we would get them answered. Long story short is that she saw 2 areas of fluid so she thinks I ovulated 2 eggs....BUT I have 3 large follicles still there 26, 22, and 14mm. When I told her about not getting the positive hpt from the trigger she started saying that its possible I didn't respond to it and that the 2 eggs I release were immature and, thus, wouldn't fertilize. She said it's possible I could ovulate again today. She wanted blood drawn to look at my numbers to see where I stand. Around noon I received a call from the office...they said I ovulated. Umm, what? Oh and my beta was .7. Pregnyl has a half life of 32-33 hours so there is no way that 5000iu of this hcg is out of my system already in 3 days.
So where do I stand now? Well, the office has me ovulating on Tuesday...the same day as the trigger shot. I don't think I ovulated yet. Still in pain and I have yet to see a rise in my bbt. So I guess I just wait from here on out to see what will happen. I go back for progesterone Tuesday and Friday and then Beta the following Tuesday. Between now and then I am going to be making a list of things I want to happen for next month in hopes that this clusterfvck doesn't happen again where nobody really has any idea what my body is doing. Physically this week has been taxing on me...constantly being poked and prodded with various objects at the office but mentally I am just done. After going through IF stress for years then to have so much hope that this cycle will be "the one" I just can't handle any more fvck ups.
