Ovulating after Follistim with no trigger shot

mrshall1027 · January 2014

All my history is in my siggy to help keep this short.

I've been taking OPK's since last Monday, two days before my last u/s. Monday night and Tuesday morning was almost positive, but not 100% there. Ever since, the line has gotten lighter and lighter. Now this mornings was practically blank. I had a good amount of cramping and bloating from Tuesday until Saturday, so I'm wondering if maybe I already ovulated...? Would they have been able to see that in my last u/s? My RE said I would ovulate on my own and I would feel it, so I'm wondering if the cramping I had was from me ovulating or from the injections and the follies growing. I'm not taking a trigger shot but I'm worried, if I haven't ovulated and I don't, that those follies will turn into cysts.

I'm waiting on a call back from my RE but just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with this.

If you weren't temping, I doubt there is a way to know without blood work and/or an ultrasound. FX you did! It is weird to me that your RE said you would feel ovulation. Not everyone does.

I think he said I would because of how many follies I have.

There's really no way to know without temping or bloodwork. Can your RE get you in for b/w and u/s? I'd keep abstaining or using condoms until you can confirm though just to be safe.

Got a call back and they want me to go in for b/w tomorrow to see what's up. Hopefully that will give me some answers.

You might already have your answers from bloodwork, but I will share anyway. When I overstimmed my first time on follistim, I had something like 14 follies and didn't feel ovulation. I don't really know what happened, if I ovulated or not. I had light bleeding for a few days a week after my last dose. A week after that, my ovaries were "resting" per ultrasound. No cysts. Hopefully you can get your next cycle started soon.
