IUI # 3 is Wednesday!

in Trouble TTC

I had my monitoring u/s today and I have two 20+ mm follies on my right ovary.  I am triggering this evening and IUI #3 is at 8:00 am on Wednesday. 

I am so happy that I had the nurse move up my monitoring appointment.  Originally, they scheduled it for wednesday (CD 15), since I took clomid CD 5-9 and they said most women ovulate about a week after they stop taking clomid.  But I knew that when I took clomid with my OB/GYN I had a mature (27mm) follie on CD 12 and ovulated on my own on CD 15, so I was afraid that CD 15 would be too late.

I was also pleasantly surprised when I went to pick up my trigger shot (RE doesn't order it until you need it and there are two specialty pharmacies near the office).  From what I read on the bump most people paid $75-$125 for their trigger, but mine only cost $66.  I feel like I got a deal since I budgeted $100 for it (It's sad that this is exciting to me.).

I am a little nervous about doing the trigger tonight, since this is my first time giving myself a shot, but I am also excited for this IUI.  

Happy Monday!

    I did my first ever trigger last Thursday. I thought I would have a hard time, but it was ridiculously easy and painless. I think the key is to have no hesitation. Deep breath and stick it in, lol.

    Good luck on Wednesday!

    All of this, I hate needles and the worst part was the hesitation and standing there with a needle for 10 minutes trying to get up the courage to do it.  The second time, I was in a huge rush and just had to do it...much better experience and didnt even hurt :)  Good luck Wednesday!!

    Yay! and I'd be happy about the savings also. It is a rare thing that something relating to If costs LESS than you expect. Small victories!

    Good luck with the shot and mega good luck Wednesday!!!

    We are IUI #3 buddies.  I had monitoring today and go back tomorrow for more monitoring.  Should have IUI around Thursday.  Best of luck to you.  Fingers crossed third times a charm for both of us.  
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.  
    2/14- NEW RE- Immune testing showed a partial dq alpha match with DH- On prednisone and did intralipids prior to transfer.  3/14 Lupron, gonal f, menopur, HGH.  ER 15 mature all 15 fertilized!  5dt of an early blast grade 1 and an expanded blast grade 2.  BETA on 4/21.  1 grade 2 embryo frozen
