As I type this, I'm about 38 hours post trigger shot. Ovulation happens between 12 and 48 hours after shot. I think it may have happened over night, but I'm still tender today and having pains in my left ovary right now. The biggest follicle was only 19mm on Wednesday, so I don't think it was big enough to cause the O pains like I've had in the past. But I guess it could have grown enough in the last couple of days?



I did have a decent temperature increase over the last 8 days, which makes this whole thing a bit more confusing. I like having the hcg trigger shot. It shortened my wait time by a few days, but it's harder to confirm ovulation. I don't know if the shot affects my temperature in the mornings? I know it affects the OPK and HPTs, so they are basically useless. All they did was confirm we did the shot correctly! Yes, I have hcg in my urine! But beyond that, did I ovulate yet? I think for my own sanity, I'm going to call ovulation today. Either it happened during the night, or it's happening this morning. I was ridiculously tired yesterday. I struggled to stay awake at work and all I did was lay on the couch last night. I even went to sleep around 7:30 last night. I think that's from the trigger shot though.

It's times like this I nearly cry because I spend so much time, effort and money trying to get pregnant and all these teenagers out there seem to be able to pop them out left and right! I know I can't compare myself to them and I know they have their own battles, but I just can't seem to not go there.
