Texas, I only cramp when I ovulate. And if you triggered without a natural surge then you will not ovulate for 36-48 hours. The only way you ovulate within the 36 hours is if you are already surging. (Per both of the RE's I have seen)

I ALWAYS trigger two days before IUI and have never ovulated the day after the trigger. However I always trigger before my natural surge. I wouldn't stress..

Thanks ladies. It is crazy. I am excited I have 3 follicles. I know the cetritide will. Keep me from ovulation, just worried that the 20 will pop on its on its own. And defy the cetritide. Lol.

Texas it will not pop on its own :) Trust your Doctor... they know what they are doing.

For IVF I had 25.4mm follicle that did not pop on its own bc I was using Ganirelix - probably same thing as Cetritide.

@texas- I know it's scary but Basia is totally right. You WILL NOT ovulate with cetritide. Promise! I had two follicles measuring at 19mm on Monday and Tuesday, triggered Tuesday night and retrieval was Thursday. Everything was perfectly fine :) Also, through my shots, i really had not side effects at all. I was not bloated, i didn't have crazy emotions all over the place, had no cramping or anything. I did not feel anything until right before my retrieval. I felt my regular ovulation pains which was ON POINT for 36 hours after triggering. Honestly, I would be happy that you are not feeling too much because some women have it really bad. I did feel the same way though...i wanted to feel something to ensure my body was doing what it needed to be doing. But nothing. My nurses told me that my body reacted exactly the way they wanted. So my body did what it needed to do. Take some deep breathes. This could be your last Tuesday NOT being pregnant :)

I updated myself on the old forum and forgot this one was started :) I am 7dp5dt transfer today. My back is really super achy and i feel like my uterus has a lot of pressure on it. Those are my only symptoms at this point. I tested last night and it was BFN. I know basia got her BFP at that point, but i am just hoping i am not that lucky ha. I will not test until my beta. Too much stress.

Hey ladies,

LS - I hope you get your BFP soon.

Texas - those number sound great. on the IUI.

AFM - I figured I would come to this board for my TWW. I had my IUI today. They didn't do an ultrasound or anything to check for follicles, they just said it was right on time accroding to the OPK and my CM. It was pretty uncomfortable but was over quickly thank goodness. DH's number were great for an IUI so the nurse I was dealing with said we should have a pretty good chance, but I'm not to test for two weeks.

Margie - fingers crossed. All you can do now is to relax :)

@margie-Good luck! You have done everything you can and now you just wait. To me, it's the hardest part. I hope the TWW goes by fast for you!!!

Thanks ladies. My family starts arriving tomorrow for a visit so I'm thinking the first week should fly by without me thinking about it too much. I hope anyway.

Hey guys! Tomorrow at 9:30 I go in for my baseline - hoping that my cyst is gone - does anyone know how long those usually last?

This will be IUI number 2 for us.
