Anyone with iui success at 12 hours past trigger (gonal f and ovadril)?

I had to terminate a pregnancy in January at 22 weeks due to severe birth defects (she was not going to make it to birth).  After determining that it was not related to myself or my spouse, we started to try again 3 months later.  The problem was that I stopped ovulating (NEVER had a problem before, pregnant in 1 month the first time).  We gave it another couple of months and my doc put me on clomid.  I responded well to the clomid but after 3 months I added IUI (12 and 36 hours post trigger) two failed iui cycles and my doc is now putting me on Gonal f w/trigger for the first month.  My dose is only 37.5 and since my injectibles are so expensive (insurance does not cover) I have to change to only 1 iui per cycle instead of 2. The problem is that my docs office wants to do the iui at 12 hours and I do not ovulate until about 40 hours after the shot.  I cannot find anything that determines a single iui should be done at less than 24 hours.  has anyone had success with a single 12 hour iui?  I dont know how to approach my doctor, I dont want them to feel as though I am telling them how to do their job.  thanks in advance for your "words of wisdom"

My RE explained to me that you want the sperm to be waiting for the egg to arrive. That is why trigger at night IUI the following morning.  12-16 hours post trigger.
And BD days following.
You don't want to miss it.
If you can BD after there's no worries.

OMG.......BFP!!!!!! I am 14 days past shot and 12 dpo and BFP!!!!.  The shot has to be gone by now and I took a test two days ago that was so faint, I almost thought I was seeing things and today it was OBVIOUS so I am sure it is not the shot. Plus the shot has ALWAYS showed a negative test 8-10 days after shot.  So if it was the shot the other day, it should have been GONE by today NOT darker!!!!!.  I called the doc to see what they want me to do now. waiting for call.  I cant believe this..............I will keep you posted. anyway......BOY or GIRL for you???  hugs.

I cannot say I think that zero follicles will work but I CAN say that gonal f should help you  a lot although 37.5 is the most mild dose so do not get discouraged if it appears to not be working that great at first. My first cycle was not great (37.5 for 7 days) but my second cycle I did 150 for 6 days and it worked so much better. I had 4 follies with at least 2 if not 3 eggs so give this a fair shot before getting worried.  I understand the frustration.....ALL of my friends are pregnant!!!.  As far as listening..no problem, keep me updated.

Just finished one round of follistim started on 75 ended with 150 on day 10 no follicles growing at all .. :( SO we are starting a new cycle with gonal F 37.5 and I am starting metformin.. Any one of heard of someone having success after not having any follies grow at all .. I AM COMPLETELY broken??

Hey there-

Saturday had 4 follies with 398 E2 (so 2 to 3 maturing eggs) but would still rise up until ovulaton. Trigger shot that night with IUI on Sunday and Monday.  For some reason, DH post wash was pretty low this time. 3.9 post (117 million pre) so that makes me worry but then I think about it and only a couple of THOUSAND make it to the uterus after intercourse for if 3.9 million made it through IUI does'nt that seem pretty good??? I dont get it.  The first RE said above 2 million is good and the new one says 5 million (but said 3.9 was not bad) so my iuis will be 16 and 40 hours. hope it works.

do you remember all of your numbers the month that you conceived? hope you are well!

Of course you are in the running. You had GREAT follicles and the iui was 26 hours later.  you have a great chance.  so that would put 4dpo in your 2ww.  Let us know how it goes.  I will most likely trigger on Friday and IUI sat and sun. we will see. good luck.
