Should I be concerned

I have one day left of the free VIP stuff on FF so thought I'd ask

My temps this cycle aren't nearly as high - i know RE nurse said don't worry about temps with meds but still.............and with no P4 test no real way to tell if it was a strong enough O

TIA!!

I think you can't worry about what your temps do on a medicated cy - they can pretty much tell if you are doing okay based on the size of the follicles at trigger.

I guess we just have to have faith in our RE's and hope that technology knows best!

well we also sort of cheated (i swear boredom will get you nowhere) and decided WTH this morning and used up an HPT

i need a hobby

trigger was wednesday of the prior week (5-21) so barely past 10 days for the trigger but did have the world's faintest 2nd line but figuring it's the very last of the trigger

My whole IVF cy, every time I tested and still saw a 2nd line, I kept thinking "well, it is good news that it isn't negative yet, right?" Thankfully, I never did see that negative! So, even if it is still trigger, the good news is that it isn't negative (not that a negative at this point would be telling either).

BTW - which trigger did you do this time?

novarel ?

last two times it wasn't novarel - DH noticed this time the bottle was different so that's how I remember
I don't think it was ovidrel - the first two times all the bottle said was the generic name - chorionic gonadotropin - so not sure why we got a brand name bottle this time (same price)

Oooh I hope that 2nd line is REAL and not the trigger.

for you sweetie.

Yeah kind of put myself in a weird spot - i can either be really good and wait until friday (unless like last cycle spotting gave way to AF once i stopped the progesterone) or risk in a few days knowing the trigger's really all out (but then if BFN would be really annoyed)

this is why i don't buy HPTs

Novarel can take a little longer than Ovidrel to leave your system (not that I"m trying to dampen your hope here).

You're not :p

-i know it's way too early and still w/in trigger range so not taking it for a BFP at all.................

For me, even though I would know that I wouldn't need to keep tracking and temping I still would do it. Only for the mere fact that it would give me something to do.....make me feel like I was doing something, anything. But then I think why should I waste the money.......because I would feel more anxious without doing something then I would feel about the money I spent.....KWIM? Does any of this make sense? I must really have control issues.....

No it totally does - with the meds pretty much I can't rely on temping / symptoms / anything - that'll drive you nuts !!!!
