I'm 6dpiui today. I had a new prescription of hcg for my trigger shot this cycle and, as this is our last IUI, I had half a dose leftover. I've been reading up on booster trigger shots, and how they can aid in the implantation of an embryo. I (and the RE nurse) decided that since it can't hurt anything and may actually help, I would use the remaining dose of trigger as a booster shot in the TWW. I decided to take it at 3dpiui, so that it would hopefully be out of my system by 14dpiui. In my research, I've read that it has a half-life of 24hrs, so I tried to calculate to see what the level would be towards the end of my TWW. If its accurate, I should have 5miu or less of the trigger left by 14dpiui. We are leaving for vacation a few days after the end of this TWW, so I convinced the nurse to let me go for a beta at 14dpiui. If the beta comes back with more than 5miu, I think I'll have a real bfp. I'll be able to go back once more for a repeat, but then after that we'll be out of the country.
I've been battling a cold for several weeks now. Last week I was sure it had turned into a sinus infection. I was running a low fever and my teeth were even hurting. My sinuses were very congested. I tried to get rid of it with a nasal rinse, and that seemed to have worked until I woke up this week with very sore teeth again. It wasn't getting any better, so off to the Dr. I went to get some antibiotics. I'm four doses in and feel so much better already. I wasn't looking forward to the thought of flying with my sinuses the way they were.
I'm going in for a 7dpo progesterone check tomorrow. I wonder if the number will be as outrageously high as it was last time.
Yuck about sinus infection! Hope your blood test comes back with good news!
