IUI is scheduled for tomorrow and I'm terrified I've messed it up!! Update in Comments

Hi ladies,
Let's start with this...I got good news from the RE this morning, follicles measuring 13,17 and 19. E2 is 366 and I'm not surging on my own this time, LH is 10.7!
So they wanted to do IUI Friday at 11. The only issue is that DH has to travel for work Friday if at all possible, it can be cancelled if totally necessary. Knowing this when they called with my results and instructions to trigger at midnight and then arrive Friday at 10 I asked if there was any way to do it earlier Friday, they replied "well you can trigger now and we can collect at 3 and do IUI at 4 tomorrow" I rapidly agreed thinking I was making everyone happy. NOT SO FAST, DH had planned for IUI Friday and scheduled accordingly and was upset I didn't consult with him regarding the change. Of course there is no turning back as I told him AFTER I took my trigger shot. So there were tears and him saying "I don't know what to do to help you, I'm really not angry, you just have to communicate and talk to me" So there is that side of the equation.
Then I started thinking….(that's never a good thing on a day like today) We are going to do IUI just 26 hours after my trigger, so I may not ovulate for 20 odd hours following the procedure. I can't help thinking that by changing the schedule that I've somehow sabotaged this cycle and there is no way we are going to be successful. I'm really upset with myself for trying to be so damned accommodating and possibly messing everything up! I totally forgot that I was hoping that I would have extra time for the follicles to mature, I blanked and all I thought about was helping DH out with his schedule!!! There is nothing to be done for it now but I'm so upset I can't even think and I know the stress is bad before the IUI not to mention the effect it's having on my relationship.
So that is all.

What's done is done. Do your IUI as scheduled. Have sex with husband again on Friday if it will make you feel better.
Next time just schedule everything with him and double check all dates and times. But get maybe this one will work and their won't be a next time

I know you're thinking you possibly sabotaged it but on the flip side, maybe it's better this way and will work out for the best. You can't change things, just concentrate on positive thoughts.
Disclaimer: I know how easy it is for me to type the positive thinking suggestion and it's so very hard to actually do but I went there and said it anyway :x
Anyway, best of luck tomorrow!
@kindershlitz I believe you are right, my RE's office would have told me no if I were asking for anything that would make the cycle unsuccessful. Plus I've researched post wash sperm viability and feel better about the timing. I'm taking deep breaths thinking positive thoughts and I'm so thankful for acupuncture before and after IUI to relieve stress!

I woke up this morning and took an OPK, I had forgotten I had them! It says peak fertility so my mind is even more calm now knowing I will O late today or tomorrow. Whew, this is some stressful stuff. I promise to come back to the boards this afternoon when I'm taking it easy and catch up on all the goings on. Until then I'm sending positive thoughts your way, each and every one of you.
