Q about IUI and intercourse surrounding it?

I had my HCG shot this afternoon (2pm) and our IUI is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:45am. This new RE I am with does not do back to back IUI's...My Q is, are you supposed to go home and have intercourse that night to help increase your odds or the next night. I'm just wondering what doctors normally advise. Thanks!

    I can't remember but I think they said to have sex the day after the IUI.  Good luck!

    I was told to have sex again that night and the night after... just to cover the bases in case ovulation occured later than expected.

    Have fun!
