IUI: An HCG shot is usually given 24-48 hours after IUI. However, your follicle should have been bigger before the IUI to begin with. Usually IUI is best done when you have a positive LH surge. A follicle size of at least 3.0 cm is encouraging.

Hi doctors, I just wanted to ask at how many mms is it ideal to get the hcg trigger shot for the IUI procedure. what mm should the largest follicle be on the day the hcg is to be administered?

Hcg trigger shot on the 20th June (2 follicles @ 21mm on each side) and iui on 22nd June (I had a mild pain this day). But on 24th June I got a ovulation like pain than on the day of IUI. Why did it happen?

I had an Iui on 14 day my follicle size was 2.5 today I went for sonography still don't rupture I took an hcg on day 12 evening .will the egg rupture around 16or 17 day?

My follicle scan today is 18.53mm. My HCG trigger shot is scheduled for tomorrow. My IUI is scheduled the day after the trigger. Could the follicle rupture spontaneously before the trigger shot and IUI? I don't want to miss my chance. What do I do?

3 failed iui, took 100 mg clomid, n on bravelle (urofollitropin) + hCG trigger shots from cd 10. Today is cd13 n still no + opk. Do injectables delay ovulation? Worried
