[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, Everyone - Just wondering what you all do in terms of timing sex with an IUI.  I took my Ovidrel trigger last night around 8:30 (my IUI is 8:30 on Sunday).  I'm with Shady Grove and they told me to have sex last night but nothing today so everything can "build up" for the IUI tomorrow.  It feels so wrong to do nothing today (this is my 3rd attempt at this) and I almost want to do it again this morning but I'm such a rule follower and am nervous!  They said that Ovidrel is pretty accurate in stimulating ovulation 36 hours after you take it.  Any thoughts/opinions?[/quote]

do NOT have sex today. You do want your husband to have the most swimmers for tomorrow. When they do the IUI on Sunday, it will be right as the egg is popping out. The IUI will put the most sperm right there into the uterus, close to the egg.

If you have sex today, you won't have as many swimmers today ( because you had sex on Friday). They will have to make the " trek" through the vagina and cervix, where many don't make it. Maximize your chances for the MOST swimmers by waiting until Sunday.  You'll be fine.  [/quote]
