Timing and TTC

I've been panicked this weekend that I'd surge early (again). I'm feeling all estrogen-y and wound up. When I emailed her, WFRE was surprised and a bit concerned about the early surge (she didn't say this outright, but she seemed to indicate peri-menopause as a possible factor). But it's cd 9--last clomid dose in half an hour--and NO SURGE. I go in for a follicle study at 9:00 and (hopefully) will trigger tonight for Wed. morning IUI. That Ovidrel has been waiting so patiently in my fridge...

Updated to add: Mature follicle at 20 mm [on the right!!!!], lining over 1 cm (is it possible it was actually 1.3?), an almost-surge on the OPK. Just triggered for IUI tomorrow afternoon. Timing couldn't be much better (I'd be scared to wait until Wed am).

  2. Hope it all works out! I understand little of this lingo (and must confess, the update reminded me of a game of Battleship for some reason) ... but if the timing is right, hooray!

  3. Battleship, eh? I never played that game growing up. But, yeah, timing is everything when doing IUI--there's basically an 8-12 hour window either side of ovulation--and last cycle was cancelled because we (meaning my doctor) missed it completely. So I'm pretty psyched about this...and the potential for a positive pregnancy test for Hanukkah!
