My IUI Journey #4 Trigger Shot Fail





Well today was the day I was suppose to start my trigger shot Ovidrel after being on Clomid for 5 days. Unfortunately my follicles weren’t mature enough to start the process so I have to go back to the fertility specialist on Monday.

I was very prepared for the day, getting the ultrasound and moving forward with the shot which I hate needles. And now I am in the waiting stages again. I didn’t know that the follicles had to at least be at 18 mm for them to start you on a trigger shot to boost ovulation. Mine were only at a 13 so I am hoping that it grows by Monday. If not back to NYC I go until they reach a high number!!!

This journey seemed a bit easy but it definitely has had a lot of setbacks because of the unknown of it all. You can’t rush things to happen even though you want it dearly. With today’s delay, I decided that a glass of champagne was needed. After a month of no alcohol I decided that today was the right day for one.

No worries as I sip...Things will work out...At least in this moment everything feels amazing. Cheers!

This sounds incredibly frustrating, yet your resilience shines through! It's tough when plans get derailed, especially in such a sensitive journey. Taking that moment for yourself with champagne is perfectly deserved. Wishing you the best for Monday and hoping those follicles hit their target! Perhaps some relaxing Eaglercraft could help pass the time.
