Trouble TTC

IUI # 3 is Wednesday!

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!!
