PatientlyWaiting's Story (Timing IUI's)

Hello All - I just wanted to share my story and hopefully get some feedback as well. First all I wish you all WELL and much Success in your TTC journey. I am 34 and my partner is 32. We started our process for TTC in September 2011. We had our first IUI in November 2011 and it was unsuccessful the sperm count was low in the donor sample. We got our money back and tried again with the same donor and that was in January 2012 it was also unsuccessful the Doctor triggered me on CD # 9 and after that I had two periods within 3 days of each other for 4 to 5 days long. It was unexplained. We tried again March 2012 unsuccessful. Then we did another one in April 2012 and changed our donor and cryobank still unsuccessful. The doctor put me on gonal-f, just to help with maturing my eggs and balance my hormones. My body responded wonderfully. Then we did our 5th IUI, I was so excited with two mature focilies I just knew we were going to get a BFP. Again unsuccessful. So we have decided to get a second opinion and go to a different doctor. Our previous IUI's were times with the trigger shot 7pm the day before the IUI. The very next day the IUI was done at about 2pm. We have researched and many women seem to trigger on at 7pm and get the IUI done about 36 to 48 hours later. I notice they seem to get pregnant.
If any one could please share your stories on timing the IUI's it would great for us. We are praying that the IUI's work. If not we have decided to look into known donors. Maybe it could be that the sperm is dying too soon because it's frozen? I am not sure ?
There are so many questions. So we just plan and re-plan.. and re-plan. We will not give up we are patiently waiting.

A funny side note - Just a little proof that God is listening to my prayers; I was driving home yesterday and was praying that I would be pregnant this time around and that my husband was already at home (which he never is) and would take the dogs outside for me because I am wiped out from this trigger shot. Not 5 seconds later, my husband called and asked if I was on my way and that he was already outside with the dogs! I immediately said a little thank you to God and said that I know He is listening to me!
Good luck and lots of baby dust.
