Question on post-IUI - possible TMI & general update

Hello ladies,
Well, I had my first IUI yesterday. It went pretty well overall but hurt more than I thought it would (way more than the HSG). Because this was my first time, they had to dilate my cervix (ergo the ow!). They told me that I'd probably get some spotting and not to worry. But, it's been more than 24 hours since and I'm still spotting - is that normal? It's not much and I don't feel bad, but it's pretty steady. Did anyone else have spotting for a day or two afterward?
Also, we think we've finally figured out what's causing the IF (finally!). Although I'm producing great follies and my ovulations are strong, I'm ovulating too late. On my CD11 ultrasound, my follies were 17mm, 15mm, 15mm, but I didn't ovulate until CD15 and my cycle is only 26 days. Sooo, while it's not impossible that this time will work, we're not expecting it to. Next time, I'll do the shots to force ovulation earlier in my cycle, then do another IUI. I'm traveling next month during the peak time, so looking at October. While I'm not excited for the delay, I'm relieved that we seem to have found the root cause.
Wow - sorry, long post.
