4dpo - I think

So we went forward with an IUI the day before Brayden's birthday. I had a lot of follicles, so we used Lupron as a trigger instead. I hadn't heard of doing that, but it is practiced - according to g**gle.

The Lupron is used when there are a lot of follicles because it doesn't stimulate the small follicles to grow like HCG would. It helps to prevent OHSS I guess. It's weird to use it to induce ovulation when you use it to surpress during an IVF cycle.

I think I ovulated. I think I actually felt it this time on Saturday afternoon - weird! I'm totally over in-tune with my body. No OHSS signs so far, so that's good. I guess we will see next week.
