question for those who have done IF treatments

So this was our first cycle doing anything more than clomid which I did last year- I did Follistim injections of 66iu for two weeks and then triggered on this past Sunday and IUI on Monday morning- we BD Monday and Tuesday night to have our bases covered. The meds seemed to be making my BBT all over the place when I was on the FS. I've been charting now for close to 8 mos and my post O temps are always in the high 97/low 98 range post O, now this week they are lower- like 97.5 yesterday and today, 97.3 the day before- I guess my question is have any of you ever noticed that following meds your temps are lower than usual? Is there a chance that I didn't O even with surging on my own and triggering? I'm just being a nervous nelly I am sure-

My RE actually advised me not to temp during my IF treatments. He said that my temps would be abnormal because of the meds. I can also say that "quitting" helped with my anxiety. I loved charting and knowing what was going on with my body, but after almost a year I was obsessing quite a bit. Not saying that's the best for you, but it was certainly good for me.

don't chart during IF treatment cycles. Your temps are dependent on your hormones, which you are purposefully manipulating. The only possible thing to be accomplished by temping during a treatment cycle is inducing temporary insanity.

Ditto PPs, I haven't charted during treatment cycles. Good luck, I hope this is it for you!

My RE said not to temp, they would be all screwed up.  I'm not sure if O is guaranteed with trigger or not, but I think so.

Injects made my cycle crazy. I would have really low one day, and then spike up to post O temps the next day. My REs told me not to chart during cycles, (but seriously, like I wasn't going to chart....whatevs). 

Unless there was a MAJOR issue, you Oed. It's pretty hard not to O with a viable size follie and a trigger shot. However, if you don't get your period in about 14 days (and you're not PG)...that's a way to know you didn't O....but seriously though. I'd be super surprised if you didn't. Your RE can take your P4 levels as well, which should confirm O.
