Hey, I'm new here! I've been lurking for a while but have a specific question so I figured I would join...

Background-- I have a two year old and have gotten pregnant very easily when ttc three years ago. We've been ttc for nearly 8 months now, so we decided to seek interventions. We haven't done any of the testing yet (aside from thyroid which came back fine) because we have no infertility coverage and the testing alone is 1k. Our RE is really chill and said she would let us do whatever we wanted, so we decided to do one monitored cycle with femara and a trigger shot.

We are in the middle of our first cycle with interventions now (I just finished femara) and I have a follicle ultrasound on Wednesday and I have the trigger shot waiting in the fridge...but my husband is going to be out of town during our possible fertile time. (I typically get positive opks between CD 11-13 and my u/s is on CD 12 and my husband is leaving CD 14 and will be back CD 16.) But I have no idea how femara will affect my ovulation.

I am wondering if we should just scrap this cycle...or maybe just do the trigger shot and not the ultrasound (since the u/s is soooo expensive.) But I don't know if that is wise.

My biggest concern is spending money and time off work on a cycle that is a crap shoot.

Any advice? I am VERY new to all this.
