Natural IUI cycle

I have been extremely regular with my last three cycles. I would ovulate (by OPK) on a Sunday, two weeks later I would get my period on a Sunday. This month was our first IUI cycle. Since the clinic isn't open on Sunday, we decided to jump the gun a little and have an ultrasound and an IUI on Saturday (a day before I was supposed to ovulate). During the ultrasound, the RE said I had good lining (8), two follicles (18 & 13), and good CM. After the IUI, I kept testing for a positive OPK, and I didn't get it until Wednesday night. I was so bummed, because I knew the sperm were dead by then. I called Thursday morning for another IUI, but the doctor said that it was likely a false positive because there was no way my follicles hadn't triggered ovulation. She said if I'm not pregnant this cycle, then I need to go on meds to monitor it closer next time. I am so bummed. I have been so regular. I think I was just stressed due to child care issues (DD adopted 2011) and TTC which threw off my cycle. This is way more stressful than I thought it would be. I'm 26 with no issues. My husband has MFI, so we used donor. I'm currently one week down of my 2ww.

    What a nightmare! Maybe you should find a clinic that will open on Sundays just in case you do have a Sunday ovulation again. I had to go in for my first IUI this Sunday and it was the weirdest thing, the on-call Dr. came in and opened the place just to do my procedure.

    That seems odd to me that the Dr would just go straight to saying it must be a false positive without even checking things out. I've read so much about stress delaying ovulation, I'm not sure why that wouldn't have been a possibility. It also seems odd to me that she would go straight to telling you she's going to put you on meds if this month wasn't successful.

    I am also very regular, 26, no issues myself, but my husband has azoospermia (no sperm) -- my RE told me that I will need to try for 6 months before they do further infertility testing on me.

    Hopefully everything will work, itself out soon! I haven't begun my procedure, yet! Stress will play apart in throwing off your cycle! Good luck!!!!
