XP: Trigger shot and no O?

*TICKER WARNING* 

 

My last IUI cycle (I'm in the TWW now, but when you read this, you'll wonder why), we did 7 days of stims with 150u Gonal-F and 150 Menopur.  I triggered with 10k HCG after u/s and lab results reflected mature follies (2).  I had O pains, all the symptoms, etc.  Yet, when I had my 7dpIUI lab draw, my P4 was only 1.75.  Which pretty much means I didn't ovulate.

The RE said he has never experienced this with a patient and wants me to use progesterone supplementation and we will draw a beta next week.  I sort of feel conflicted... if I didn't O, what's the point, yet I'm holding out hope that for some strange reason the number just doesn't mean that.

Other than googling and reading about LUF, luteinizing unreleased follicle syndrome, I can't find out how it's possible that I didn't O after trigger.  I ovulated on all 3 rounds of Clomid before we moved to IUI.  And I O'd but had low P4 last IUI.  Any thoughts from you ladies?  Any experience or reasons for this?

Thanks.

It seems you posted here mistakenly. The IF board is the place to post general questions about your cycle.

I was hoping that those with more experience would be able to shed some light on this.  I suppose that is not the case.  This is a specific question about a topic that seems to be rare and I had no responses to this post on the regular IF board.

Thanks.
