my periods range from 24-27 days. I'm getting nervous. How would the doc know exactly when to do the IUI? Is anyone in this situation?

    I will have my first IUI in september and all I have done is the HSG test.

    Sweety...

    Use a good Over the counter ovulation predictor. I had periods before I got pregnant of 21 days. When I got pregnant in Feb of 2012, my cycle was 28 days that month. Which was wierd since it had been 21 days for years. Start peeing on those OPK around day 8. Also watch (TMI) your cervical mucus. It will also help you figure out when you are getting closer. Pee on the sticks several times a day, as your surge happens when it wants to happen.

    Are you using meds or not? I did not, I just had an IUI. When I saw the smily face on the OPK, I called the doc had the insemination that afternoon and then again the next morning.

    Good luck, ask lots of questions all of woman will help out when we can answering questions.

    When I had my IUIs done, they were done on a much shorter schedule than my typical cycle. I think the Letrozole I took made my follicles grow more quickly and then the trigger shot makes you ovulate just about 36 hours exactly after you take it. My doctor had me go in for an ultrasound midcycle to determine when I should take the trigger shot.

    Talk to your doctor about all these questions.

    Anissa,

    Also my cervical mucus is not my good indicator. also did you feel that you were pregnant before the HCG test?
