Hi! This is our first IUI cycle. Unmedicated. I had a colposcopy 2 years ago with 2 wide areas removed, and very little EWCM, so I’m hoping IUI is what we need. I had one 14mm follicle today on CD10, the rest were <10mm. My labs were: estrogen 143, FSH 5, LH 8, progesterone .18
Would appreciate any insight! Thanks!
Re: Natural IUI, CD10 results normal?
TTC 21 cycles
All TI cycles BFN (with letrozole, ovidrel, prometrium)
Hysteroscopy + Polypectomy + D&C on 1/3
IUI #1 February 6, BFP 2/21, CP 2/26
IUI #2 March 14, BFN
IUI #3 April 11, BFN
IUI #4 May 11, BFN
July 2018 IVF, developed lead follicle, converted to TI, BFN
August/September 2018 IVF converted to freeze-all: 7 mature eggs; we fertilized 3 and froze 4. 3/3 fertilized and 1 blast!
October 2018 FET-BFN
November 2018 FET-TBD
Also, most of us get some cd3 results for those hormones, but it doesn't mean your doc did anything wrong. It's best to look at the ranges that the lab gives on your test results. If those hormones are within the normal range, then there's nothing to be concerned about. Best wishes to you. I hope that you will be a one and done!

It really depends on your follicle size. The trigger overrides your body's natural LH surge to control the timing of the IUI. That's why they have you do opks at home because if you get a positive, they will most likely not have you trigger since you Ovulate regularly and have you come in to do the IUI around the same time frame. It really depends when you don't trigger because they have no idea if you are someone who will Ovulate 12 hours after the positive, 24, or 36 hours later. If you track bbt every cycle and your O date is pretty consistent, that might make it easier to decipher if you get a positive opk prior to trigger.
In my experience, monitoring is the key to getting the timing right; both by you at home with opks and bbt, and by your doctor with u/s.
