TaffyLou - I'll do an OPK at around 1pm and see what that brings. In a way I hope it's neg so we can have the IUI and give ourselves a better chance
Briggsy's Girl - ha ha, I needed a laugh as I'm feeling a bit stressed about all this TTC stuff at the moment. As you say, we may as well get some enjoyment out of it I'll ring the clinic tomorrow either way and as you say, they can make the decision for me.
In my cycles we used clomid and had the trigger once the follicle was a good size (OPKs never worked well for me, only got a line twice, and even then not nearly as dark as the control) and then 24-36 hours later the IUI, and got a positive on out 4th round. Also, I usually had a scan at the time of IUI, and most of the time the follicle was still there with the egg, even 24-26 hours after the trigger.
We also didn't have extra BDing, so we know that the IUI worked.
Leasha - thanks for your help, it's great to be able to get real information from people who have been through this instead of just reading text book style articles etc. I am not having the HCG trigger and will just wait to O so I guess it's just a case of timing for us. OPKs always work for me so that's something at least. My FS is great but sometimes I think he assumes I know what's involved in everything and forgets to give me all the info.
Just got a very positive, dark OPK - way darker than the control line :woot:
Got DH into action straight away and will try again this evening as well, just to be on the safe side. I also have quite bad O pains so I reckon I'm probably either O-ing or about to O.
I am not sure if I have O-ed yet or not - my temp rise wasn't very big compared to other cycles. I still have O pains so I'll get on to my FS first thing and see what he reckons. Eek!
I just rang my FS and am going in for a scan at 12.30 today so I guess that will give me a definite answer. DH is coming too so if I can have IUI, he'll be able to do his bit. BBL with news
