Hmmm....well, they're the experts. The issue with the trigger is that it may cause the 18/19mm to be released when they might not have been otherwise. i think wihtout the trigger what will ~likely~ happen is that 28 will go and possibly 22, but that the CL from 28 will suppress 19 and 18 from being released. This seems to be a good case scenario for you and I personally would have you just proceed with the timed intercourse without the trigger.
now, that having been said (bad advice alert!) I have had several clients told by their doctors to trigger/attempt in months with 4 follicles. And many of them did not get pregnant, and the rest got pregnant with a singleton. A follicle does not equal a for sure baby. But on the other other hand, the 15 and ~mayyyyybeeee~ the 13 could even potentially develop enough to be released (the smallest I've seen is 14 mm, not common though and I was never really sure if it was a legit 14 or the tech measured incorrectly) But on the other other OTHER hand, you have been trying for a long time. Just understand that this could have disastrous results (twins, yay, more than that will be a disaster!) and so I really do think it is best for you to hold off on the trigger this month.

Thank you for your input, Atomic! I've held off on triggering just for my "gut" feeling.... although as time goes on, I'm not quite sure I'm going to ovulate on my own after all. Its day 4 of flashing smileys (fertile window but not peak) for me using clearblue advanced smileys... Sept 1st was day 1 after my last clomid pill... so by the 11th, if I dont ovulate (3 more days) I'll call into my doctors office. My temps seem to have a very very slow rise. Today it was 98.25 and knowing my body from temping 2 years... I know that anything under 98.0 indicates no ovulation yet. Typically, my O rise was at least 98.50 or more. So idk, we will see. Just wanted to update you!

Yep it does sound to me like you've ovulated based on your progesterone.
Yes great lining - trilaminar is indicative of a good chance of implantation succeeding!
FXFXFX for good news - and PLEASE keep me posted! I'm on pins and needles!!

Thanks Atomic! The original plan was to take progesterone suppositories from IUI on... I asked if I should take it and they told me it was my choice whether or not to. What's your opinion about it?

Studies have shown that progesterone supplementation does nothing to help anyone get or stay pregnant. It's a placebo. A normal healthy pregnancy will make all the progesterone it needs to sustain itself. And if progesterone drops, it is a sign that the pregnancy was not developing normally, and the progesterone dropping is just the way the body pulls the plug on the pregnancy before it gets too far along. All that prog supps do is to extend the length of time before the loss occurs (if one is destined to happen) possibly making it take much more of a toll on your body than it would othewise.
It is totally up to you and I can totally understand wanting to try everything when you've been at this for a while, but that's just what the evidence is seeming to indicate (and this comes from Harvard, not from the Flybynight University of Shangri-La LOL so it appears to be very very legit.)

OH crud, I'm so sorry to hear that.
But let's try to look at it as this is just what was necessary for you to get pregnant in the future.
