just curious - I know it is different for everyone but trying to manage my expectations about what I will hear on CD11 ultrasound.
I'm doing 50mg clomid this cycle. when I did clomid for LO I got OPK+ (w/o trigger or monitoring) on CD14, then CD15, then CD18.
w/o meds I normally get OPK+ between CD16-20 but I'm hoping clomid might have sped things up so I'll be ready to trigger sooner? any experience? thanks!

For me, unfortunately, Clomid did not speed things up. I triggered between CD15 and 22, and sometimes I didn't need to trigger because my LH was already way up there when they drew blood. Let us know what you find out after your b/w!

@ineebee: thanks for the reply! I really want to have a cycle 30 days or less for once but I don't think it is in the cards . . .

I haven't done an IUI, but Clomid makes me O around CD17. The month I triggered, I had monitoring on CD15.

I can't remember the dates, but I do know Clomid sped things up by a few days or so for me.

On our first IUI (no clomid), we triggered on CD14. On the second, we triggered on CD13 - that was with clomid, so it was one day quicker. With the second cycle, I took 100mg of clomid. I definitely had a higher number of follicles and larger ones with the clomid. Currently in my TWW. Good luck!

My first two IUIs, I triggered on day 11.
My last IUI (that was cancelled), we planned on triggering on day 14.
My follicles looked good when I was on a higher dose of femera, so I belive that's why my RE wanted to trigger on day 11. Of course, both of those cycles, resulted in enlarge follicles the following cycle (due to the femera, maybe?)
So this last cycle, my RE reduced my femera dose and said she wanted the lining to be a little bit thicker.

I didn't do IUI, but I triggered (with injectables) on CD 13 I think.

I was on 50mg of clomid and triggered CD 13 with IUI #1 and triggered CD 12 with IUI#2
Best of luck to you!
