I usually post on 3T, but I'm trying to gain a little insight based on real experiences. What CD did you O on your bfp cycle?
I'm an early surger on meds - CD10ish - so my RE is adding Ganirelix to delay my surge. I've read it could help the egg quality, because early O'ers may have poorer quality eggs. Just curious what everyone else's experience had been.
TIA and wishing you all the best of luck in your pregnancies!

Re: IUI / TI Ladies...when did you O?
Clomid- No response
Metformin 1500 mg Femara 5mg + Trigger + TI Round 2 = BFP!
Beta 13DPO: 115, Beta 16dpo: 561 BFP Chart
Hi Native!
On my BFP cycle I triggered on 12 (at night) and so probably O'd on 14 (I don't temp, but they told me it would be two days later).
The cycle before that I didn't O until day 23, but I used a lower dose of Clomid and needed 5 Gonal-f shots to get my follie mature enough...
Good luck good luck good luck!

Thanks, ladies! I appreciate your feedback.
I had intended to bring up my early surge, but luckily my RE beat me to it and added the Ganirelix. I'm hoping it will delay O enough to give my lining some time to thicken up and give me some quality eggs. We're also nixing Clomid so maybe that'll give my lining an extra boost.
Thanks, again!

I've been looking for you! I always triggered on CD14 and IUI on CD16.
Best of luck on your upcoming cycle!
I triggered on CD14 (9:30 PM) and O'd on CD15. I was using Femara (CD3-7), Follistim (CD8-13), and TI (CD13, 15, & 16, per RE's instructions). I got my BFP 14dpo (CD29).
I didn't have any experience with Ganirelix, but my issue was not early O, it was no O.
Best of luck to you on this cycle!

Hey you! I O'd on cd16 during my BFP cycle. Before that I was ovulating around cd19 most months while I was on medication.
TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
::waves to CG and tombomb:: Miss you ladies! Well, except you Allie.
So it looks like CD14-16 is the sweet spot, which makes sense. I really hope I can hold off a few days. Last IUI was CD11. I know it's possible that early, but I'd feel so much better about it if it was closer to CD14.
The ganirelix is on back order from the manufacturer so the nurse said we might have to get creative with where we can find some and it'll probably be expensive, but I'm game.
I'll be moseying back over to 3T now. Thanks, again, for all your help!
