Ovulation WAY past my trigger shot

by Griggsy, Jul 31, 2008 09:32AM
Hi Ladies,

I have a question and DH just looks at me with a blank stare that says 'do you honestly think I'll know that'.

So, I took my trigger shot on 07/26 @ 8:30pm, on the 28th, 36 hours later I had my IUI done. Yesterday there was some spotting, only once and only when I used the restroom.

My question is that can I still be ovulating my smaller eggs that weren't at a good size when I triggered, or are they all supoosed to leave at once?

I'm a bit worried. . . I guess I'm fearing the the IUI was done 3 days ago, and I'm ovualting now. . . .Breath in, breath out, relax. . . . .

HELP!

I am not 100% sure but from what I know the HCG makes sure that you ovulate 24-36 hours after you have it and ony the follicles that are b/t 18-22 will release an egg. So I think the smaller ones just go away. I just got back from the DR and they said it looks like I am ready and the IUI will be tomorrow or sat. I just wan to make sure that it is atleast 24-36 hours after the HCG shot. I think the spotting is just from you cervix being irritated from the IUI.

I wouldn't worry about it (easier said than done I know!!) you should have O'd your mature follies as jess said.. the spotting can be either from the IUI (which is very common) or from irritation from bd after an IUI.. or from ovulation, but it takes a while for the spotting from your ovary to make it down the tube, uterus then out your cervix!   Most people have no issues with the triggers working like they are supposed to! : )  GOOD LUCK! : )

Thanks Ladies!

DH even gave me that look through a text message when I asked (bugged) him again about it. I'm just praying so hard that this is going to be the month! LOL, aren't we all!

Jess: That's great!!! You'll let me know when you go in for sure right? How many follies do you have ready? I'll let you know about the SA for DH tonight. He's possitive he already knows the results, but I'm praying for good news in that catagory as well!

bny807: I hadn't thought about the time it takes to get from the ovary to the cervix, to the outside. . . I was thinking wam, bam thank you mam mentality.

same as above...the eggs which are around 18/20 plus will release for example in my case I had 6 follies in total...3 on each sides..then by the time i reached my o period there was one slid big one 18/22 on my RO and 2 on my left O but only sized 14/16
The trigger was given the same day and the iui the next day and the day after..was called for TVS after the IUI and there was one follie matured and ready to rupture and thus was advised for natural BD..The trigger shot will rupture ur mature eggs...so what was the size of ur matured egg??

The mature ones were 20, two 19's, and 2 18's. There were two more an 11 and a 13. All of these sizes were measured 36 hours prior to the IUI.

The spotting stopped along with the slight cramping. I was worried as I cramped and spotted for four days last month and I got a BFN. I just felt like I was running down the same path as last month.
