PCOS, Metformin, Trigger shot and IUI

I have been diagnosed with PCOS. I tried a round of clomid and the doctor said that my body will not respond to it at all.  I then moved to Metformin and injections which seems to be working.  I am scheduled to do an IUI tomorrow morning and a trigger shot tonight.  Has anyone had this done?  What are the success rates? Also, any other information would be great. Thanks!

    it seems premature to do the IUI so soon after the trigger.  You ovulate 24-36 hours after , so it's better to wait to get closer to actual release of the egg.

    I agree with pp. I have never heard of doing an Iui 12 hours after injection. Not sure. Are you seeing an RE?

    Actually, I was instructed to trigger at night and IUI the following am if (and only if) an LH surge was detected the day of trigger. Otherwise the timing was ~35 hours later.

    But of course your dx and the aggressiveness of your treatment makes a difference. Lots of links in the FAQ (in my sig). GL.

    My fertility clinic had me bring the trigger shot with me, did it, had me wait an hour while they washed the sperm, and then did the IUI. I then had a second IUI the next day. I think everywhere does it differently.

    For all 4 of my IUIs I triggered 12 hours the night before a scheduled IUI, but we did back to back IUIs.

    I guess it is different for everyone and their doctors. I triggered at 9:30pm last night and had my IUI done around 10:30am this morning. Doctor said with the sperm count and follicles we have a 20% chance of pregnancy and 17% of twins! Fingers crossed!!!
