Brief Answer:
CHANCES DEPEND ON MANY VARIABLES, YES , TEST ON 25TH

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
You have provided the findings BEFORE ovulation .
Was the monitoring continued after the trigger ?
How many follicles ruptured ( translated - the ovulation results ? )
I am assuming this was IUI ( intrauterine insemination ) or timed intercourse post trigger, and not IVF.
If you ovulated well, chances of pregnancy are pretty high, provided the semen analysis of the male partner is normal, and you have no attendant complication ( blocked tubes, fibroids, endometrial damage - being some of them ).
Yes, the chances depend on these parameters, if you could elaborate, I might be more specific.
And if you triggered on the 7th, Christmas is a pretty good time to test.
All the best

Brief Answer:
1 IN 5, 25TH OF DECEMBER.

Detailed Answer:
Well,there should always be monitoring post the trigger.
There is a condition called Unruptured Luteinized Follicle, where inspite of good follicular development, there is actually no rupture.
So that is essential to document ( the rupture ).
Since you do not know how many ruptured, it is mere speculation to try and tell you the odds of multiple pregnancy.
With follicular stimulation using gonadotropins, chances of multiple pregnancy are in the range of 15 - 20 %, so say, 1 in 5.
The earliest you could test ( assuming you ovulated 24 - 48 hours after the trigger, which is average ), is Christmas ( 25th of December ).
Wish you so much of luck with this.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
TAKE CARE.

Detailed Answer:
I gave you the odds of having multiples IF you conceive, not your actual chance of pregnancy.
That depends on a lot of factors, and cannot really be estimated in percentage.
But yes, gonadotropins , in absence of other complicating factors, have again 10 - 15 % success rate in bringing on a pregnancy.
Had you coupled them with an IUI, chances would still be increased.
Being positive is what helps right now, so prayers for you.
Take care.

that was my point of the question with all laid on the table what are the chances of having a positive?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Aarti Abraham (1 minute later)
Brief Answer:
CLARIFIED.

Detailed Answer:
With gonadotropins - 10 to 15 % chances of conception with timed intercourse, without an IUI.
You asked in the follow up about multiples which I answered.
If you conceive, chances of multiples are 1 in 5.
Hope that helps.
