3 DPO-Recurrent Miscarriage, Clomid and Ovidrel
I'm still trucking along. I'm having some major cramps. I think I may have had a cyst burst last night. I need to take pics of my HPT to show the progression. I currently still have HCG in my system. I think I'm ready to take a bit of a break. I just realized the last baby that we saw the heartbeat on and lost has been gone for 9 months. The baby would have been 3-4 months old. Totally blows. I know there has to be a plan.

1 DPO-Recurrent Miscarriages
It has been determined that I am 1 day post ovulation or 1 DPO. At around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning I had the worst cramping pains on both sides of my abdomen. I seriously thought my ovaries might explode. The pain lasted most of yesterday. But it wasn't horrible all day it felt more like I had done a thousand sit-ups then punched myself in the gut a few dozen times. But from all the reading I have done the Ovidrel trigger shot (250ug) has you ovulate between 36-39 hours and that is what the pain equals out to be.
I am beginning to POAS. I know it's too early! I'm testing out my trigger shot. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a bunch of $1 tests to waste on this fun experiment. I just can't bare poas and thinking I'm pregnant and it actually the trigger shot. It was definitely positive today. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Clomid, Ovidrel, and Timed Intercourse-Recurrent Miscarriage
My RE gave us 3 cycles to TTC on our own. All BFN by the way. Now we are on Cycle 4 of TTC. I went into the office on cycle day 3. I had no cysts. I spoke with the nurse. They scheduled a HSG. Gave me 50 mg of Clomid to start on cycle day 3. And then scheduled me for an ultrasound on cycle day 10.
I took the Clomid. I haven't had many side effects from it. I think I had a couple of hot flashes but it could just be the weather. (It can't seem to make up it's mind). I'm glad that there was no mood swings because I really don't think my husband or children will stay with me if I have more mood swings then I already do.
I had my HSG done. Tubes are open. No Asherman's. I had already diagnosed myself with Asherman's because well...I've had about a thousand d and c's from all the miscarriages. (That may be overstating the number a bit but it feels like it) They could see my c-section scar but nothing terrible there.
Then comes the ultrasound. Why day 10? Well I normally have a positive opk on day 10 around 11 a.m. But of course I didn't this time. They did the ultrasound and told me I have a 20mm and 17 mm follicle and that I need to wait until the following day to do the trigger. I left the office feeling more confused then ever. She told me NOT to wait for a positive OPK to trigger no matter what the next day. Didn't give me a time or anything. So I triggered at 10 a.m. I figured it was 24 hours + some past the appointment time. I'm a "retired" R. N. so I thought oh...I can do this little shot all by myself. I have never laughed/cried so much at the same time ever. I would count to 3...start to inject myself and stop. Hesitation is not a good thing. My DH said he would do it but...he had these really huge fingers and I didn't want him to hurt me. Eventually after about 10 minutes of craziness. I did it. It doesn't hurt. Just a little burning. The only symptoms I have so far is sleepiness. But we DTD last night and have plans to tonight and tomorrow. I have a feeling this cycle won't work. I think we triggered a little too early. We shall see.
