AF after IUI

When are you supposed to start your cycle after an IUI? Is it the standard 14 days after ovulation or does that not apply?

    Did you take progesterone during your TWW? I always seems to start the day after I stop taking it. For the most part, AF usually is the same time as it would be during my normal cycle.

    @kristimh80 I start progesterone tomorrow.... I'm 2dpiui. I was just wondering if I should expect AF 12-14 dpo as usual or if it would take longer. I didn't consider the progesterone, does that postpone AF?
    None of this was explained to me. All I know is I have my beta on the 22nd, AF was never mentioned. More greek. Lol

    I would usually get it about 2 days after I was done with progesterone. My nurses told me it delays AF in some people and some get it while still on the progesterone.

    What baseballhoney said...some people it delays, some not. My dose is low, so last month AF came despite it. I have been on a higher dose and had to stop it before AF would show, so it really just depends. :)

    I was wondering the same thing. My IUI was Friday 5/12 trigger on 5/10. Im currently not on progesterone I go in this Friday 5/19 to check to see if I need to take it. I normally ovulate on my own around day 14 which I normally would be due around next Friday the day of my BETA 5/19. If I ovulated within the 24 to 36 hours then AF should arrive Thursday or Friday correct? My normal cycle is 27/28 days occasional I'll ovulate later and there was a few times my cycle was 31 days but never any longer.

    @Labluver2 Sounds right. Last month my AF was 5 days early even on progestrone, so at times there's not telling considering all the medication we are on. This month I was pretty much on time. Sometimes with medicine, you just never know...they make our bodies do all kind of things lol
