Giving semen samples at the same time as ovlation is not conducive to getting pregnant.

*sigh* At least the drugs are good for cramps. And at least the third time is not going to conflict with ovulation.

How come it had to be at the same time? (Are you on Clomid?)

It was mostly inconvenient scheduling. I ovulated about a week later than I expected, and the semen sample had to be given in time to have zedrikcayne have his ultrasound and follow up with the urologist, with enough time to do any additional stuff (like the iminent third semen sample) and have another urologist appointment before I follow up again with my doctor.

Assuming Cayne gets the all clear (we had one semen sample with good morphology and motility but poor count and a second with a fine count and motility but poor morphology, thus the need for a third sample) Clomid becomes an option at my next doctor's appointment. I'm torn on whether I want to try it or wait a few more months, but the most recent studies seem to say that it about quadruples the chances for pregnancy/live birth over metformin alone while still having a very low risk of multiples. I just need more information about the use of trigger injections with it, and whether or not that's useful in my situation.

Trigger shots can definately be useful with clomid. They are mostly done in conjunction with IUI. That is how we got the Froggy and likely how her sibling will come if there is one. Whether or not it is specifically helpful in your situation or not I cant speak to but here are a couple of links.

Sorry to hear that it didn't pan out this month -- but glad that the cramps aren't so bad!

*hugs*
