Ok, so i found this:

HCG has a halflife of 27 hours (+/- a little depending on your metabolism), so you can do the math.
[24 hours is an easier number to work with, so keep in mind that this is off by 3 hours a day, which adds up]
Day after trigger: 2500IU in system

2 days: 1250
3 days: 625
4 days: 312.5
5 days: 156.25
6 days: 78.125
7 days: 39.06
8 days: 19.53
9 days: 9.766
10 days: 4.88

So depending on your test sensitivity, you can tell what levels it would pick up. I would think that by 9-10, if you were not pregnant, you would be getting BFN's by now. Testing tomorrow will say a lot. Hoping for the best!

Thank you Mptyle- we have another U/S this Thursday and I'm praying we will see something this time. I'm still holding on to hope!

Im in my last naturell ttc..Last time we got pregnant it Was after menopur and ovitrelle and home insemination..and next cykle (starting last this month (around my birthday ):) I start on clomid and (maybe menopur ) and ovitrelle shot to realease the egg. .or 2 eggs?;o

Hey everyone! Had the IUI this afternoon! I felt MUCH better after talking with the RE who did it. My doctor is out for the week so I had the other RE, a female, and she was VERY thorough in answering my questions. She said she is very conservative and she felt good about this cycle. She also considers triplets and obstetric disaster, so knowing that makes me feel good that she was great with proceeding. She said we have about a 20-25% chance of conceiving and then 15-20% of twins and less than five of triplets and she said if we have triplets she thinks it would be because one of the eggs split, not because of that gigantic follicle.

So... that made me feel better! I got to watch on the US and it was fast and not really that uncomfortable.

DH's count was 26 million so that's good - they want at least 20 million.

Progesterone test next Monday!

@while-YAY!!! All done! IUI's are pretty easy! Now just take it easy!!! Hoping the egg(s) and sperm meet and you get a BFP in two short weeks! We know those two weeks will not be short, but hopefully you can stay preoccupied! good luck! Sounds like his numbers were great!!!!

Basia, I found that wearing control underwear (lovely...) helped me feel better with the bloating because my stomach muscles got tired from being pushed out and this helps hold them in... In fact I am wearing them right now :-). Hopefully bloating will go away soon for you.

I had my second BETA yesterday and it had doubled from 22 to 49. I now go back every 2 days for blood tests to monitor HcG and Progesterone. They reduced me down to Corine? every second day as my Progesterone is quite high. So exciting to not have to do that every night anymore.

While- great news! Come on sperm! Catch that egg!

@gemma-I will be on Cronine also. I have kinda been afraid to even research it. Is it just a pain?!

@LSchrader - nah it isn't a pain so much as it ends up turning into something akin to cottage cheese in your v-jay-jay. Kind of gross. yeay! just another IVF thing we get to do that is so awesome.

Yes crinone will accumulate inside. First few days you might feel like you peed yourself and after few days tour body gets used to it and it stays inside. I hated crinine - having any kind of intimacy with dh and crinone just did not work for me.
I got progesterone oil injections now. First shot tonight - I don't enjoy injections but I will take it over crinone lol
