OP here--thanks for the replies. I'm trying not to feel like our timing was off, but it's so hard not to obsess. Good luck to all of you!

Not necessarily bcz she could be having LH surge on her own. Trigger Shot just makes sure u do ovulate. on my first IUI the day I came in they said uh ah u r having LH surge (mean your egg will drop within 24-48 hrs) so made me take a shot that evening and come in next day for IUI so egg would not be dead if they wait too long.

Trigger shot works different for everybody but majority yes PP I agree with you 36-40 hrs. but your blood will tell better (like in my first cycle there was no need for trigger shot cuz LH level was proving I am ovulating. ) so it also depends on your LH level.

Good luck OP! May this one be a winner

I think dominion says 36-40 hours after but yes generally it's 36 hours. Don't sorry about CM your body is probably a bit out of whack from drugs.

Oh...my RE says you ovulate 24-36 hours after trigger, unless you were going to ovulate anyway.

The rule is you ovulate 36 hours from trigger. Or at least that's what my clinic told us. I triggered and had an IUI exactly 36 hours after and I got pregnant. I'm doing IVF for a second baby and egg retrieval is always scheduled 36 hours past trigger.

I had my first IUI yesterday morning and I am trying to figure out when I O'd. I did my trigger shot (Ovidrel) on Friday at 9:30PM and then by Saturday at around 2:00pm all of my CM dried up. Yesterday (Sunday), I had my IUI at 7:30AM and then by 1:00pm I had serious cramps on my right side. I was on Gonal F for 10 days leading up top trigger and I had quite a bit of EWCM before and right after the trigger. But since Saturday at 2pm, there has been only a little lotiony CM.

So based on your experiences, when do you think I ovulated? The cm dry up or the cramps? O was confirmed this afternoon by blood work.

Any insights would be much appreciated, as I'm slowly going insane and over analyzing everything.

Thanks!
