Ladies…I am so frustrated right now! As we all know, timing is everything with infertility. Well, I triggered on Monday and had my IUI on Wednesday and guess what? Yep, I am almost positive that I just finally started ovulating about 2am this morning. Which, if you look at a normal cycle for me before the follistim…I was guessing our IUI would have been yesterday or today. I can tell you it would have been a hell of a lot more convenient if it had been today and apparently, my body doesn’t care if it gets a trigger shot, it’s going to ovulate when it wants to. It is now 7:30am central time and I am feeling it in my right side quite a bit and after a night of not nearly enough sleep, I am up and have already put a call into the nurses line to see if there is someway to check and see if I’m correct.
These things are way too much money (especially on straight injectables) to have the timing off. Feeling ready to cry (although that could be a combination of lack of sleep and frustration with J and his newly single pal for keeping me up with the loud music coming up from the basement).
Update: The nurse finally called back a bit ago. She said that it is very unlikely that I did not ovulate within the 36-40 hours after the shot and that maybe I’m feeling a smaller one that ovulated on its own. She also said that sperm lived up to 72 hours so there should still be some left but I thought that was only with unwashed sperm. I thought I’ve read that washed sperm do not last nearly as long but maybe I’m wrong. Anyone else know? I guess I just need to have faith right now and not doubt His plan.
