IUI and opk question

| I took a trigger shot Tuesday evening and had an IUI Thursday morning. I had a positive opk on Thursday (test line darker than control) and I took another test this morning and see the test line is still darker than the control. Did I not ovulate yet? We tried on our own after the IUI last night to cover bases, but should I be trying again tonight? Have already started hormone support vaginally. |

Also adding that I was monitored before the IUI and know I had two 20+ mm follicles. |

| Sure try again tonight. It won’t hurt. You want to do the iui ebfore you ovulate. After you ovulate is too late. Good luck. |

You can try again (no harm), but a trigger shot pretty much guarantees ovulation 36 hrs later. The opk will remain positive for quite sometime (as will a hpt) because the trigger contains hcg which will give you a false positive opk. Additionally, even if you didn’t take a trigger, you ovulate 24-48 hours after your first positive opk and there is no point in continuing to test. |

Oh thanks! I didn’t realize the opk could have a false positive as well. I definitely am testing out the trigger so I knew the hpt would be a false positive for a while. |

| I was temp checking and OPK testing and neither were positive during my IUI procedure but I got a baby out of it so obviously I did ovulate. I didn’t know that could happen and was nervous I didn’t ovulate but my RE said it’s common. Not sure how. |

| Trigger shot causes ovulation tests to be blazing positive as it’s picking up the HCG. You aren’t supposed to use them after a trigger shot. |

| Good to know I likely ovulated within about 36 hrs if trigger. We were only able to try the night of the trigger and then the night of the IUI. |
