Brief Answer:
Trigger shot will make no difference.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A trigger shot will not add to your chances of conception as you already ovulated on your own in the previous cycle. It is best to remain stress free and concentrate on having a timed intercourse. Since there are two maturing follicles the ovulation will happen on its own in next 2-3 days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
