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"

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.
