Does your clinic recommend anything re: doing the ICI the day of the surge or the day after? I've only done IUIs, but I'm assuming their recommendations would be the same for ICI. Some people do it the same day they get their surge and others do it the following day. We've usually done IUIs both days to try to increase the chances, but my NP told me the second day isn't really necessary, so now we're doing only one per cycle and I go in on the afternoon of the day I get my surge. I wish this could be more of an exact science!
If you're doing an ICI, use an ICI sample.
Good luck!
We did back to back IUI's. I tested twice per day for ovulation with clearblue easy digital OPKs and once I surged, we inseminated 12 and 36 hours later. We got pregnant on the first try... Generally speaking, a positive OPK indicates that you will ovulate 24-48 hours later, so you don't want to insem too early/late. Timing is the hard part... That's my advice! Good luck!!!
We are trying again this month, like in a couple of days - whenever I get the happy face on my OPK. I am a little more realistic right now about it than last month, but I am very very hopeful! Keep hope alive!
Congrats on the honeymoon baby thats awesome! We wanted to do that too
So we could find out now but im too scared to test. Im just gonna wait till im late. Its been diff this time. Ive had nose bleeds, bleeding gums, and really weird cramps, like ovulation/af cramps. Im hoping it works this month cuz it would be soo awesome to tell her at the alter. Fingers crossed like crazy
