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.
