When do you think my IUI might be?

I'm on CD3 now and have been on lupron for 11 days, and gonal-f for 2 (today is day 3) so far. They started me on the highest dose that I responded to last time--- and will lower my dose as needed.
My DH is freelance and has been getting a lot of work lately--- all over the place. We live on the North fork so some nights he doesn't even come home- he'll sleep at my grandma's house in queens or his parents house up the island.
Does anyone have any idea when I might be looking at to do my IUI? I know it varies for everyone- but I'm just trying to figure out a possibile timeframe. I'm going back Saturday for bloodwork and another sonogram- and based of my bloodwork results from this morning will determine my dose tonight and tomorrow night. Today my sonogram showed 'lots of small follicles' and my lining was 3. TIA!!!

Its kind of hard to tell, it all depends on how your follies grow, but I know with clomid, I am expecting (if the follies respond like they did last time) to have my IUI the end of next week.

Re: When do you think my IUI might be?

thanks... I'm really hoping to have it sometime next week. my entire family is out of town and so is DHs family (they're all going to florida) and I just think it'll be a lot less stressful... I have to take care of my grandma but am trying to see when my aunt or uncle can come to pick her up so I'm free while they're away... it was the perfect plan until I realized how busy DHs schedule is getting...

Re: When do you think my IUI might be?

It is hard to say but probably cd13-15 I would say. You will probably have a better idea once they tell you how big your follies are as they tend to grow 1-2mm a day. At my IUI yesterday my follie was a 23 and lining a 10, just to give you an idea. Good luck

Yeah i agree with PP. I always went around CD13'ish.

Re: When do you think my IUI might be?

I usually starting stimming on CD3 and I'd usually trigger around CD14 or CD15 and have the IUI on CD15 or CD16.

Honestly, if your cycles are shorter naturally, you will probably need to stim for a shorter period of time than someone like me whose cycles are on the longer side.

Re: When do you think my IUI might be?

Ok- I started stimming on CD1... so maybe I'd be a couple of days ahead since it seems like everyone else started theirs 2 days after me. The dr. gave me the impression that it should take somewhat less time, not sure how much though, since he knows my breaking point already from last cycle and is starting with that and decreasing the dose as needed.... I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see what happens...
