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"

On Saturday I was at CD13 and had five mature follicles, 28,26,22,17,18.  My doctor gave me a trigger shot between 9 and 9:30am.  DH and I BD that night and the following day I had my IUI around 11 am.  I had planned on BDing that night but I had terrible cramping pains from that IUI.  I hope that I am still in the running.  I cannot never feel when I O.  I only had that experience one time in my life history.

hey im sorry about af showing up for you..thas a bummer i know how you must feel...but im glad you went to another doctor for a different opinion..by the time i found my re i went to see like 3 different ones..and here i am today.

Metformin works great at the begginin you might get some side effects from it but it will help you. About ur luteal being only 10 days i dont know it makes me think that you might have a luteal difect and that can be easy fixed you should ask your new doctor about it!

My app. was scarry...i got a bunch of bad news im still in shocked.
First of all the stupid nurse coudnt find the babys heart beat with the doppler...than my doctor told me i failed my 1 hr glucose test by a lot it was 230...so she told me that even if i do the 3 hr one i will problably still fail being that the 1 hr was so high..so she wants me to go see a high risk OB and it sucks..than she also told me im enimic very low irion and she put me on meds for that...i just went back this morning for the 3 hr test we shall see what happens...and ohh i did get an u/s did day and the baby was just fine and the HB was 143!!!! thas the  only thing i was actually happy about!

Well let me know ur updates and good luck for this month!!

hello-
so......AF showed up on CD10....I KNOW!!! way too early.  So much to my dismay I am starting over HOWEVER....I went over some stuff with my doc the other day that bugged me because he was not being very proactive regarding my concerns. like the fact that I only had a 10 day luteal phase this month or the fact that they triggered me with 1 follie and a 192 E2.  He kind of blew me off and put me on Metformin as well.  I was not satisfied with his responses (even though he is really nice) so I told them I needed a month off and went to another clinc for a second opinion.  They actually answered all of my questions and put together a very proactive schedule and said that they would treat me this month if I would like.  So, I figured why not and I am going to give it a shot.  He said with my numbers last month, I had just as good of a shot going home and BDing so at least I know he will be straight forward.  I will see how it goes.  How did your appt go yesterday?

2:30 appt on Wed.  no beta until I have missed a period.......we will see!  I am just talking to him tomorrow to figure out how my treatments will go in the event that I am not PG because it will have to start on CD3 and there may not be time for me to meet with him in those couple of days so I guess it is a "just in case" appt.  I dont know, I feel that I am probably not, but I am so used to getting the BFN. I will let you know tomorrow. :)
