First IUI Question

asay1

I have my first IUI scheduled for 9:00 this morning!  At my last u/s I had 2 possibly 4 follies.  I have never before experienced ovulation pain, however Saturday night around 8:00 I triggered and last night between 8:00 and 9:00 I was having some pain.  I don't really know how everything is timed out, do you think this pain could have been ovulation pain?  If so, will the eggs still be available at 9:00 for my IUI?  I keep hoping that the pain was nerves/excitement!

You should be fine...you will ovulate 24-36 hours after your trigger and the egg can live anywhere b/t 12 - 24 hours. I ALWAYS feel ovulation pain and am convinced I ovulated too early for all 3 of my IUI's, but that's why they do your bloodwork before you trigger and time your IUI that way. For my first IUI, I triggered, then went in 36 hours later and I STILL hadn't ovulated yet (according to my bloodwork)...so we had to go back the next day. Good luck!!!

I triggered at 8 on saturday night also, and had my iui at 9 this morning.  Last night I started to feel some ovulation pain, so I guess thats what you were feeling.  Good Luck to you!
