DC, really hoping your progesterone is good sign! I would love for you to kick of a streak of BFPs.
LV, same to you, I'm really hoping you find out good news next week. It would be nice to start clearing out this thread!
Bright, yay, that's awesome you get to start a new cycle this month AND take your family vacation as well. Best of both worlds. You've conceived with IUI twice now, and I'm just so hoping it happens again with a sticky little bean this time, and even better, that the little frozen embryo thaws well and thrives!
Oh, and thanks to all three of you for chiming in on my dilemma. I appreciate your perspectives. My NP said that she didn't want to trigger me because if she did that would make it more likely that a few of the smaller follicles would ripen and release eggs. Without a trigger, she thinks I will most likely have the 4 that were in the 20s. She also said the fact I have higher FSH makes it less likely all of the follicles will have quality eggs. She said that given my situation, twins are possible, but triplets or more would be very unlikely. She's never had a patient who had more than twins while using clomid. That's not to say it couldn't happen, but it is very unlikely. My eggs and/or DH's sperm don't quite get the job done, so honestly, I will be surprised if I even conceive one baby this month. If I had never been on clomid before, and if I hadn't gotten pregnant with just one baby after an IUI with 4 follicles last time, I think I would be more afraid of trying this month. Also, I agree with Bright and DC, I would much prefer to have a set of twins than not have another baby at all. It would be chaotic having three under 2 for a few months, but it would also be a dream come true for me to have three children (DH thinks two is enough, so my next pregnancy may be my last). The biggest fear we have about twins or triplets is that it is a much higher risk pregnancy, and we would be devastated if anything happened to the babies. But that said, we plan to BD this month, and see what happens. She said it would be best if we abstained 3-5 days, and then BD'd the day after I get a positive OPK. But I'm thinking we should just BD every other day just in case because it just occurred to me that I had trouble getting a positive OPK when I was on clomid last time around, so I'm worried, I won't catch the surge and time BD accurately.
PS - I almost forgot to mention that we put an offer in on a house last night, and it was accepted, so we will be moving to a new house in a month. This seems like a crazy time to be trying for a baby, but that's the way we roll around here. At least we will have more room for another baby (or two)

Oh well, off to bake some bread!
I am still worried that there will be lingering hcg from the trigger, and those super-good-at-detecting hcg cheapie tests are going to find some lingering hcg when I test again. 
Give a day or two more before you give up. And if it turns out you aren't pregnant this month, we'll be cheering you on again next month.
