Newbie, not yet pregnant but have a question for you ladies

MARISAV77

This is my first time on this board but, I'm still on the TTC after 35, infertility boards. I thought my question would be most appropriate to post here. For those of you who did IUI, did you get your BFP 24 or 36 hours post trigger? My first IUI was 24 hrs post trigger and ended with a BFN. I am going for my 2nd IUI hopefully at the end of this month (if my follicles are mature enough to trigger, before we leave for Hawaii on the 1st). I would like to know some of your success rates on the timing of your IUIs. I've read more success with 36 hrs rather than 24 hrs. I'm beginning to think they inseminated too early with my first one. I didn't feel O pains until 33 hours post trigger.
Thanks for your responses in advance and congrats to all of you on your pregnancies! I hope to be a regular on this board soon!

My first BFP the IUI was about 36 hours post trigger, with the second BFP (this one), I had B2B IUIs so I had 1 about 20 hours later and 1 40-some hours later.

My bfp came with my IUI 38 hours post IUI. We also BD the night of trigger (I think).

We did back to back so 12 and 36 hours after trigger. I think I ovulated right before the first insemination because I had super strong O pains and my RE was a little shocked how fast the follicles grew at my last scan.

We were 36 hrs past trigger!

thanks everyone for your replies! I plan on asking my RE to do the IUI 36 hrs post trigger this next time around!

My failed IUI had a premature LH surge so we triggered and did the IUI 24 hours later.  BFN.

My successful IUI didn't have a premature LH surge and I triggered as requested and did the IUI 38 hours later.  I also tried to relax as much as possible, during and after the procedure, and took an extra half hour lying down.  I don't know what if any of those things helped, but I'll be doing them again when we try for a sibling someday ;-)

Did your RE require you to lay down after the IUI, or did you just request to? When they did my IUI, they told me I could get up right away, I really wanted to lay down for at least 10-15 minutes, but got up anyways after she took the speculum out.

They told me to lay still for 10 minutes.  I put a sweatshirt under my hips, played "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston (Prince of Egypt soundtrack) over and over on my phone because it made me feel hopeful and calm and happy.  Silly, perhaps, but it helped keep me calm.

And then I checked out quickly, went to my car, turned on more relaxing music (Enya CD) and laid in the backseat for another half hour talking to my Mom on the phone and playing games on my phone before I got up and drove home.

36 hours for me!

Edit to add: For both my IUI's that gave me a BFP.
