Is ovidrel the trigger shot? If so, my DH gave me mine. Do you want me to ask him a question for you?

yes it is a trigger shot: we were both nervous yesterday because he had to give me the shot, but it went ok. We go in Monday for IUI I am praying that this monh will be the month. How many IUI did you do before becoming pregnant. I see you were on glucophage, are you still on it because I was on it and was taken off.

Thanks for responding

Yes, I am on Gluc...why were you taken off? The first IUI I had worked, so I was very fortunate. I really hope this works for you...I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Huh? I thought only doctors or registered nurses were allowed to do that. What does this shot do and when is it supposed to be done?

Take it from a registered nurse - any person can be taught to give an injection like Ovidrel because it's very simple. There is no law that says only an MD or RN can give it - those are typically just policies in MD offices and facilities.

In homecare, we are often sent out to teach families to do just exactly that - give injections of all kinds of things, even start and maintain family member's IV's - amazing isn't it, how medicine has changed? I have had my Mom give mine when I haven't wanted to give them to myself. As long as the MD and the patients are comfortable with their technique in mixing, drawing up and injecting the med, anyone can go ahead and give it.

I agree after doing the injection I realized it was very simple. My husband gave it to me and he had never given a shot of anything before. They gave us a pamphlet that gave step by step instructions along with pictures.

I was asking if you were still on glucophage, or f you stopped when? My doc just told me I did not need it. When I first was put on it a endocrinologist put me on it, for 6 months trial period. I no longer go to that doc. When it was time for a refill my insurance company was crazy so he told me I did not need the glucophage.

I go in today for my IUI I am really going to get on my hands and knees and pray this is it. And on top of that, I have a healthy baby, I don't want to miscarry either.
