IUI #1...was it poorly timed?

AngieL444

So, I had IUI #1 yesterday morning at 8:30.....14 hours after triggering.  I questioned the nurse practitioner at my monitoring appt. on Thursday (1 follie at 20 and lots of small ones), if this was too early since everything I've read says one typically ovulates 36 hours after triggering.  She assured me this was fine, and that it's better to have the sperm there waiting....

So, here I am googling everything about how to time IUI's and 14 hours seems really early.   I know I should just walk away from Dr. Google and just pray that this works, but I'm afraid that this timing wasn't optimal for conception.

This leads me to ask you girls....what are your RE's office hours?  My RE is open M-F...they open at 7:30....not sure what time they close.  They are open on Saturday mornings, but only for procedures such as IUI...they do NO monitoring on Saturdays.  And, they are not open on Sundays.  This leads me to wonder if my procedure was scheduled around their hours?  It seems that Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning would have been "perfect" timing, but they aren't open then, so Saturday morning is what I got.

Welcome! 

My RE office is open 7-9 daily for testing and M-F until 3 pm. The doc is there only one day a week, since it is not her main office. I had in total 8 IUI and I always trigged and went in the next morning for my IUI.

My Re is open seven days a week. My iui were always 24 hours after trigger.
My advice? Try on your own too tonight. Good luck!

My understanding is that ovulation can happen 24-36 hours after trigger and that it is better to have the sperm there before than after, because they can live longer than your egg will. 20mm is also a great size to trigger at, so they wouldn't have wan

Thanks girls.  We covered our bases by having sex yesterday morning and this morning.  Praying and hoping it works!!
