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"

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.
