Had Follistim/Ovidrel cycle again..can't stop my brain!?
Hello..
my hubby and i have been ttc x 4 years (just about)
We just did a cycle with Clomid/Follistim and Ovidrel.
I am 9 days post trigger and 8 days post ovulation.
I know not to test until you are 14 days post trigger but i can't stop thinking about this.
This is about the 6th time we've done this cycle in two years.. we miscarried last year.. and i know how everything goes, it's all too familiar..
I had extreme breast tenderness, etc, for the first few days after the trigger then that went away.
Starting yesterday really, i hae had extreme nipple tenderness, low back pain, cramps and ovary pangs. ( i wouldn't really call them pain) and nausea.
I feel like i have known since the timed intercourse that we are indeed pregnant but i can't test yet!... or at least shouldn't.
I'm going nuts here!! I didn't have symptoms at 9 days post trigger before, the Ovidrel symptoms normally wore off by then.
Can't test in case of a false reading but going nuts!!!!
What would you do??
oh, and bloated like heck....

I will be 10DPO/12DP-trigger tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to test. I am secure in my realization that if it IS a negative, I will still be positive that it doesn't meant I'm not pregnant; it's just too early.
I have my husband and my extremely supportive, level-headed friend telling me it's a bad idea to test. But I absolutely can't help myself. We've been trying for so long, and I've wanted a child since I was a child.
Will you be able to remain positive and not stress if you get a negative? I say, give it a try! But again, most people I talk to are against it.
I know exactly where you're coming from!

hang in there hun!!! The cycle I got pregnant it was Femara/Gonal-f injections/Ovidrel trigger shot. I had sore breasts the entire time. I tested at 11dpo 13 days post trigger shot, and got a faint positive. It was real and confirmed real :) I will have my fingers crossed for you hun!!! Best wishes!
