Natural Cycle IUI w/ trigger: LH surging hours before
Hi there! My wife and I are TTC for baby #2 using natural cycle IUI with a trigger shot and frozen donor sperm (same as with our first baby.) It’s currently Sunday- We are scheduled for the IUI Tuesday which will be cycle day 18 at 9am. My last ultrasound was on Thursday (CD 14) and showed one 16mm follicle and 8.6 lining. Instructions are to take the trigger tonight between 5-6pm. However, my LH appears to be surging today. I am worried I will ovulate tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesdays IUI will then be unsuccessful. My clinic is closed tomorrow for the holiday and there is no after hours contact for situations like this (military hospital)
I plan to go ahead and trigger tonight and go to the appt on Tuesday with the sperm and inform them of the surge. If they are not confident in the timing then I will just have to return the sperm to storage and eat whatever coats are associated with that.
I guess I’m looking for a little informed advice or guidance. Maybe someone has been through something similar.
