Trip timing..What do you suggest?

jaci20634 · April 2014

So my DH and I are going out of town on a trip with my parents, my brother and SIL to a family cabin in northern Arkansas. DH and I are taking off either late Apr 25 or very early (like 2am) Apr 26 (we have friends we are stopping to see in southern MO), we are traveling from north eastern Iowa so it's like an 8 hour drive... We are driving back on Apr 29.

We were supposed to start IUI last month, but due to those crap OPKs we missed our opportunity. This month, given my past ovulation history (I have ovulated as early as cd12 and as late as cd27, more recently since having taken clomid it's been closer to cd15) I will ovulate around Apr 27, meaning we would miss the opportunity for IUI again because we will be out of town... :-(

So my question is...Should I take clomid again starting on cd3 (per Dr instructions) and pray that I O early and if I don't we fall back on TI. Or start a day or 2 later (can you start as late as cd5?) and hope that I O after we get back...Either way this month and am buying a digital test(s) to get a clear yes or no when the line isn't quite as dark as the test line on the other tests...

Thanks in advance for your advice, thoughts and comments. I'm totally stressing out about this, I'm so ready to start IUI and was disappointed when we missed this last cycle...

I work for a hospital and need to be referred to the RE per my insurance (because they are not in our system) and my Dr has not yet referred me yet. I'm going to call and discuss this with her when we get back, I also need a f/u lab on my thyroid levels, but I've only been on for about a month...

TI is better than nothing so I would risk it.
