Well,
yesterday I went for more blood work.
From Friday to Tuesday my levels went from LH 10 > 4 and Progesterone
5.6 < 30. So timing something didn’t
quite work for catching the positive OPK’s properly. The clinic recommends next month I do follicle
monitoring ultrasounds and use the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) Trigger
Shot when the time is right.
This
does increase the possibility of twins
I think. This is does make for me being a bit more nervous on this, but I think
it is worth it. The amount of stress I’ve
had peeing on three sticks at a time to see which ones work for me, and to try
and pinpoint my ovulation has been hair raising. HCG doesn’t guarantee twins, nor does it
guarantee pregnancy. Just helps things
be a bit more relaxed about the process I think.
One
thing is for sure, Deb will have to give me the shot (if I don’t get it at the
clinic), as I will not be able to give myself the shot. I’m too nervous about needles. So next month is hopefully the first go at
this, which is the next step to this long process of getting the TTC journey
started.
From
what I have read though, it does mean I can’t take a home pregnancy test early
because it will give false positives. I
will have to truly wait the two weeks, or until AF shows up.
Does
anyone have experience with hCG shots?
I did take the hCG shot for our first attempt, but I don't know much about it I took it at the clinic so my love didn't get to stick me! I just wanted to say I am so glad you are doing the Ultrasound monitoring! without it I would not have known I ovulate early in my cycle! It's the best way to see what's going on on there!! Best of luck! :)
