To those who have used a trigger shot with IUI...
What was your blood LH level the day you triggered?
When was your IUI?
Did the IUI result in a pregnancy?
Edit: If you don't mind sharing. What was your DH's post wash count?
-
I don't remember my LH value but I triggered at 8am for an IUI 29 hours later at 1pm the following day. My IUI did result in a pregnancy
-
I don't remember if they even tested that. They only looked at the ultrasound and tested my E2 levels. But it's been awhile so I could just not remember.
I've done 4 IUI's (I have two children). The first didn't work with either child but the second one was successful.
My IUI for each round was roughly 30 hours after trigger. We were also told to DTD either that night or the next day (although that didn't happen with my second child because I was sick! Thankfully it was still successful).
Are you being monitored? Are you using any fertility meds?@Mrs Lavender:

They didn't test for that, they just had me come in for an ultrasound to see my follicles. I have done 2 IUIs, the first I triggered about 24 hours after my ultrasound and IUI was 24 hours after that; it was unsuccessful. I got pregnant without intervention with a singleton two cycles after that. My second IUI I triggered in office at the ultrasound and had my IUI about 22 hours after that, resulted in twin boys who are now 10 weeks old.

@KT326: Yes, I am being monitored. This is my second IUI. I'm taking 2.5 letrozole CD 4-8, trigger, and progesterone. My office monitors very closely via ultrasound and blood work every day starting around CD 10. I see my labs every visit so I know my LH is just starting to surge when they have me trigger. IUI is the next day plus the following day. The timing seems good... I've just always wondered where everyone else's LH is the day of trigger. Just a worried lady over here who desperately wants to start her family!

I'm glad IUI worked for you ladies!
I added another question. I have pcos but our infertility is more MF. DH's post wash was below the recommend minimum (5M) amount for today's IUI. I know it only takes one but it's so hard to not have much hope this time around...
-
@Mrs Lavender: Hugs! It's hard! It's good they are monitoring you closely.
I also have PCOS, I had to do injectible meds because I didn't respond to Clomid or letrozole. No MF for us though. I know that can make it so much harder.

My RE didn't check my LH level since I was triggering.
My IUI was done 36 hours after trigger. Sperm after washing was 55 million. No pregnancy from that round.
