Need advice/help

RazzyRN

so I had my monitoring appt this morning. I only had a follie measuring 10 I'm super bummed but they told me to keep using opks if I don't get a positive by day 15 to call. That doesn't sound right to me. I was half asleep when they called so I will be calling them back tmw. But besides needing to call and ask for another monitoring appt what would happen if I get a positive opk? Would I still trigger? Not trigger?

Any advice/experience is welcome!! Thanks !

I agree with PP. My RE had me come in for two ultrasounds because I wasn't ready to trigger at the first one since my one follicle was at 19 I believe. I went back about 3 days later and was it was a 22 and I triggered that night. He instructed exactly when to BD. I would call and try to talk to a nurse of dr. If this is all that they do maybe it's time to get another RE like PP said.

I don't have anything to add that the other ladies haven't said already, but I wanted to wish you good luck!

10mm on CD12 sounds like a normal response to me - that's about what I've always had on Letrozole, 10-11 mm on CD11-12. 

When I did a cycle without trigger, they had me take OPKs starting CD12 and then come on CD15 for monitoring. Sounds like they're assuming you won't have a mature follie before then, but want you to take OPKs to make sure you don't miss O.

For my 4 Letrozole cycles, I've measured similarly to you and always O'ed by CD18. I hope you have a similar response! My guess is that you'll be in the teens by CD15, and maybe need one more monitoring appt to decide when to trigger, or if they're not having you use a trigger, then have an OPK+ sometime after CD15.

If they haven't given you enough info on their plans this cycle to make you feel comfortable, definitely call and double check! For example, if you really want the peace of mind of a trigger shot for timing, let them know. Maybe they figured that with good SA and using TI, a trigger for timing was unnecessary?

Thank you! Since you responde similar that makes me feel a little better! I put a call in im waiting for them to call me back! I sure hope they didn't make me pay $100 for the trigger If they think it is unnecessary! When they call back I will let you know what they say! Thanks!!

I also took my femara day 5-9 I am wondering if I would of taken it 3-7 if I would of responded better/faster

just got off the phone with the nurse.. she said to keep using opks untill day 15, if i get a + call and come in, if not I am still to come in on day 15. i feel better now. and she made me feel better about my 10mm follie she said i was responding so thats good i guess

I have absolutely no advice to offer, but I did want to stop by to wish you luck on this cycle!

For my IUIs I had to go back in for monitoring every other day until ready to trigger, but I would imagine the timing is not quite as crucial for TI.  I don't have much to add beyond what the other ladies have said but I wanted to wish you good luck on this cycle : )
