First iui is done and out of the way. Got up at 6:30am for our commute, arrived at 8:30 with with time before husbands appointment at 9:30. Once he was all done, we went for a walk around the city as we had some time to kill before my appointment at 11. We went back, sat in the waiting area for a little while until my name was called. Went in, met the dr - he was really lovely. The procedure itself was painless, the speculum hurt more than the procedure itself. He told us we now had over 1 million highly active sperm inside my uterus ready for my egg. He also told us that we should get things moving due to my low AMH. He told us we are eligible for bulk billed ivf cycles and the only thing we would need to pay for would be anaesthetic if I want to go under for egg collection (but it’s not necessary) and the meds. We’ve decided that we’re going to do that if this round isn’t successful. We don’t see the point of wasting more time and money if my eggs aren’t of good quality. By doing a round of ivf, they can see the egg and see what happens as far as fertilisation goes. So now we just wait and see what happens. He said if I don’t get my period to take a urine test (got a freebie from the office, winner 😂) and if that’s positive I go get bloods done. Bring on tww

What Is The Purpose Of The Trigger Shot In IVF?

And I was going so well. Husband and I went grocery shopping and I threw some first response tests in the trolly in prep for next week. Well, Today is 27th March 2020, I’m 9 days past trigger and 8 days past ovulation and I caved. Not even 2 days after buying the tests 😂 and it was positive. I had initially told my husband I wanted to test after the trigger just so I could see a positive test because we’ve never had one. It’s so surreal to see it, even though the chances of it being a true positive aren’t high ( the midwife said it take around a week to leave my system). So At this stage, I’m continuing to stay cautiously optimistic and will test again next Saturday.
