Trouble TTC

newbie

I've been ttc 7 years on and off and actively ttc for 3 monthes. I have pcos and fiance has good sa. Im 28 and hes 43. This is my cd 15. Yesterday, cd 14, I had an ultrasound that showed my lining is 9 mm and I have 8 follies between 16 mm and 23mm. I did the trigger shot yesterday at 1130 am.

The only problem is my fiance has a bad back and we have not been bding alot. We haven't bd'ed in 5 days. The first time we will be able to will be tonight at 7, so 32 hours after trigger and he hasn't ejaculated for 5 days.

I've had no signs of ovulation so far, I can usually feel it happening. My cervix is low and firm but open. I have tacky cm so I'm taking mucinex.

The plan is to bd tonight and the next 3 nights. What do you guys think my chances are with his old sperm?

Fiance is having surgery next thursday, so i really want to conceive this week.

  • I agree actually and was thinking I must have
    Misunderstood. I bet he actually said 4 not 4 on each side. He usually gives me pics of the follies but didn't this time.
    before my appointment, a pregnant women in the office went into cardiac arrest, and my dr seemed distracted and his nurse went with the women to the er. But he said he wanted to trigger yesterday so they didn't get too big.

    No one was rude. We are seriously concerned about the treatment you're getting. Which, in case you skimmed over, is MALPRACTICE. Do not take this lightly. You run the risk of high order multiples. Remember Octomom? Or Kate plus 8?

  • I've been busted on one lie? Okay? What reason do i have to lie? I meet my re at an obgyn practice because I live in a rural area. You women are crazy.

    Who has time for this crap

    So, you admit you lied? Why don't you answer your own question?

  • I literally LOL'd at the accusation that I am crazy. Tell me again who scheduled a sex-date for tonight at 7pm knowing that they triggered 8 (or 4, who cares) mature follicles? That'd be you. You know who does that? Crazy people.  
    We're all crazy. Duh. This is no laughing matter. ;)

  • I am not sure that the poster is disingenuous. Reading her first post on IF, it sounds like she was concerned about the # of follies, but the RE used 5000 iu of hCG instead of the usual 10,000, which sounds like a reasoned (if horribly risky) strategy to get fewer mature? I guess my point is, hard to imagine a troll would come up with something like that.

    Original poster - I think since your fiance had a good SA, and if your tubes are clear, then with 8 follies you have a strong chance of pregnancy, but also almost and equally strong chance of higher-order multiples. I hope that you do report this doctor for very suspect decision making - women our age shouldn't trigger with more than 3 follies unless there is some reason to believe the eggs are low quality.
