Ovulating too early?

in Trouble TTC
I have an IUI scheduled for Monday and I go for an ultrasound in the morning. But today I had tons of egg white mucus. I did Femara and Follistim this cycle. HCG shot on Saturday night. So am I ovulating already or is this mucus from the meds? I'm not regular and I have never really paid attention to my mucus before. Do REs ever do IUIs early? Or on weekends?

    Egg white mucus is a result of high estrogen. It is not necessarily directly related to ovulation, though in the stereotypical cycle it should occur before ovulation because estrogen is high at that time. Meds can completely screw up any physical signs of anything.

    I would take a couple OPKs tomorrow and if they show positive, call the RE about IUI on Saturday morning instead. Our office is open Sat and Sun mornings for necessary IUIs, bloodwork, whatever is needed.

    Thank you tweety! Puts my mind at ease. That was what I thought and was hoping was the case. I have an appt tomorrow morning early so I will just go and see what they say. Hopefully we are good to go!

    @curve31: Glad to help. It won't hurt to ask the doctor for some extra reassurance.
