I am going to be going for blood work tomorrow and will ask my RE then but I am taking Gonal F injections then Ovidrel with timed intercourse. The information the RE gave me about Gonal F said to continue to take BBT's. I was just wondering what the point is if I will be getting ultrasounds and triggering and they are pretty much telling us when to have sex.
I only did it so I knew the exact day I ovulated (trigger gets you within 2 days). It isn't necessary.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
That's a good question - I don't really have an answer, but would love to hear what the RE says...
Maybe for peace of mind? The ultrasounds and b/w should keep you from missing ovulation, even IF you end up ovulating before you trigger... Interesting!
TTC since Sept 08
DX: Unexplained; DH: 4% morph / Me: no issues found
4 failed IUIs -a potpourri of clomid, bravelle, menopur
IVF #1 March 2011 - BFP / Missed m/c 8w1d
IVF #2 January 2012 - BFN
FET #1 - BFP!
Expecting a Christmas Miracle!
I stopped doing it because the trigger shot made my temp jump on it on and it was freaking me out because it looked like I ovulated way before I when I was doing my IUI but my doctor said with all the meds, especially the trigger shot, your temps are not as accurate. So now I just track days and other symptoms, etc. but not temps.

Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.

Ditto this. I always had a temp spike after taking Ovidrel, and it wasn't ovulation. I took a break from temping this injects cycle mainly b/c I wanted a break. I figured with all the monitoring, I was covered.
