to continue my body's general theme of being a PITA

BostonGayGal

(pain in the arse), my opk turned positive at 6:00PM.  The norm would be to have a single IUI at 36 hours past, which would be 6:00AM Saturday. When that is not possible the general consensus is to go earlier ... but whether 12 hours earlier is better than 2 hours later I don't know.  And of course the kit may have turned any time after I had last tested at 8AM this morning which throws an additional metaphorical wrench in the works.

So I don't know whether to try to schedule an IUI after court in the late afternoon tomorrow, or for 9:00AM Saturday (also the day we have 25 people coming over for a second Thanksgiving.)

I am guessing late afternoon tomorrow, but maybe I just skip this month altogether.  I am already going for one insemination instead of two since my E2 is wonky, sort of waiting out the infertility diagnosis that comes at the six month mark.  I have an appointment at the fertility clinic December 1 and will have more testing then likely be put on drugs when we start again in the January cycle.

It is just so hard to skip a month (and the next as well) of trying, especially since being due in August would be incredibly special for me, as would being pregnant over Christmas.  I don't know what to do but don't want this to be simply an emotional decision either.  

I have until 9:00AM to decide.  Any insight is appreciated.

I would go earlier if you are going to do it. I can't answer your question about whether or not to go ahead.

I think earlier is better.  You will at least know that the swimmers have a chance of getting to a 'live' egg.

I don't have any adivce about when/whether to do the IUI, but I want to say good luck with whatever you choose. Hopefully whenever the next time you try will be the last one it takes to get a baby.

This. They can live for a couple days, so if you don't O until Saturday they'll be there waiting. GL! Hoping this one is it for you!

Frozen sperm only live for about 24 hours.
