Good luck Stardust17 on "Trigger Shot and timing" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trigger-shot-and-timing#post-2835423 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 07:55:05 +0000 Stardust17 2835423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @snarkybiochemist: thanks! I think we have decided to see if my follicles look promising and if so, we may just go ahead and do IUI. My body needs a break from this and I think our relationship does too! Wish us luck! snarkybiochemist on "Trigger Shot and timing" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trigger-shot-and-timing#post-2835412 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 07:00:02 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2835412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That was the timing for our IUI that resulted in E. We had sex on Sunday, triggered Monday at 8am and then the IUI was 1pm on Tuesday.

Do any of you think it would be beneficial to BD Thursday night before trigger shot and then Saturday evening? We’d have to more than likely skip Friday though. Just thinking out loud 🤗 snarkybiochemist on "Trigger Shot and timing" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trigger-shot-and-timing#post-2835329 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 15:32:23 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2835329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ After trigger you ovulate 36 hrs after and its better to have the sperm waiting for the egg to be released. Friday night is great, we were always told to have sex day of trigger except for when we did our IUI which then was sex day before trigger IUI 30 hrs after trigger. Our RE also talked about ICI, inter cervical insemination which can be done at home and involves using a syringe or menstrual cup to place the sperm at the cervix, obviously this isn't as direct of a placement at IUI but if your husband has an easier time ejaculating into a cup rather then during sex it might be a viable option for you as well. bhbee on "Trigger Shot and timing" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trigger-shot-and-timing#post-2835314 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 12:57:37 +0000 bhbee 2835314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Agree ... in theory you ovulate around Saturday night which means Friday night bd is perfect (it’s there waiting and ready!) and definitely your best shot. I would try Sunday but try to take the pressure off (difficult i know) because you’re so much more likely to have success from Friday than after you ovulate. Good luck one time can definitely get it done!!

That said, I got pregnant last month with a trigger and we only did it the day after the trigger (although twice), so whatever you can make work might be successful.

My husband suffers from ED and even with medication, sometimes we aren’t able to BD (as in he can’t climax). My question is on timing. We can usually have success if there has been 72 hours in between BD’ing. I’m getting my trigger shot on Friday (CD12) at 10am. We plan to BD that night but it won’t be possible to do it for the next several nights. My last 2 cycles I have ovulated on CD 14 (per digital OPK, last month I didn’t do trigger shot). So, should we try for Sunday or do you think waiting until Monday evening will still be ok? I’m worried Sunday won’t be successful. He’s so discouraged but I’m supportive. We are both 36 and this is just life. Thanks!
