CD11 monitoring, IUI Thursday

katib77katib77 member
in Trouble TTC

Well, I am really starting to think of my IUIs as clockwork.  Went in for my monitoring today after seven days of follistim.  Four follies, 18.5 and a 14 on the left...15 and 11 on the right.  Lining is at 7.5.  Trigger tonight with IUI Thursday just as I had predicted two weeks ago.  

We'll see if RE's new plan for DH helps his counts, morph, or motility (He's had him jerking off or us having sex every night from cd4 through today).  Good news is my office (which is usually closed Thursdays) is now open for IUIs and blood draw (just not U/S) so we don't have to drive an hour for the IUI.  It's much nicer when it's at our home office because it's just seven minutes away and DH can do home collection.

Bad news is I work tonight and have to give myself the trigger at work.  Nothing like having to keep a needle in the fridge and do a shot in the Target bathroom!  UGH.  

FX that the 15 gets big enough to release as well, and maybe even the 14.  I like the idea of having more than just one target.  

Anyone else have fun trigger location stories?  The only other weird one was for IUI#2 I gave myself the trigger in a bowling alley parking lot in our car.  Someone saw me and I felt like an IV drug user lol.

    My last trigger I carried around with me in a bottle cooler with an ice pack.  Oh the irony!  I had to have a pt 'take a break from pushing' so I could go run and trigger. 

    Similac is so giving to the nurses.  They gave me a binky, formula and a bottle cooler.  I got to say, it fits IF meds like a glove ;)

    ETA:  Good luck Kati!!  <3

    Good luck, katib! I've only ever done one trigger. While I found the whole experience to be very exciting, it really wasn't, haha! I was standing in my kitchen reading the directions and following them step-by-step. When I was cleaning up, DH walked through the kitchen (in his underwear) and was like, "You almost ready?" He was genuinely impressed when I told him I already did it, lol.

    Cute.  DH said the same thing after my first trigger and he was sitting right next to me!  I was like "You didn't notice me stabbing myself with a needle?" And he was all "You spent so much time prepping I stopped looking over".  

    But this is my sixth trigger, and with injects I've now given myself over 22 shots so it's kind of "old hat" for me.

    I haven't done the trigger yet, but I did slip myself an estrogen pill on my way to the baseball game. Thank goodness for tinted windows and Purell . . Will be thinking good thoughts for you and hoping you have a few targets big enough to release!

    Here I go lurking and come across this wonderful post!

    So excited to see this...and sending as many T&Ps as I possibly can!  Hoping the new plan works to get that count up and the numbers are fantastic!

    Not exactly a trigger story....For mine I had to have the follistim mailed to Great Wolf Lodge in KC, since I was there for the weekend with work.  It was awesome collecting the cooler from the front desk with all the warehouse guys, drivers and my upper level management trickling in and out of the lobby.
