UPDATE- OPK PIC Important question about IUI - Page 2

The last one looks positive for sure. Maybe since you have to depend on these it would be better to get the smiley ones like one of the other ladies mentioned. They really make it easier to tell. More expensive but worth it.

When yesterday OPK dried, it still looks close to positive but today's OPK looks neg after drying. I told her that I took one last night and it looked positive as did this morning but after it dried it looked negative. She said don't count it after it's dried. So, she has scheduled an IUI for tomorrow at 11am. She said they like to do the IUI one day after the surge. I'm worried that if I did surge last night and still had a positive this morning, would it be too late for the IUI to work? I took an OPK yesterday afternoon too and it was *almost* but not positive. We are doing unmedicated IUI plus I had an HSG this month so I really want the IUI to be before I O. I do not temp because my old Dr told me it is unnecessary and my current RE didn't even ask about temping. So, if I did surge last night, would it be too late to do the IUI tomorrow, about 36 hours after I surged? Sorry if this post is confusing. I am just sort of reeling from shock after I unexpectedly got the call and my mind is just all jumbled. I confused the poor woman on the phone.

Thanks for the help!

Last time we were TTC, I had an initial ultrasound, then another later on day 10, along with bloodwork throughout the first half of my cycle to determine when I ovulated. The RE would tell me when to do the trigger shot, and the IUI was 36 hours later. And I'm happy to tell you that it worked on the 2nd try. I was always told you have up to 48 hours after the LH surge, so I think you'll be okay!

I was so tempted to go get that today but I didn't have the car. The ones with the smiley faces would be so helpful and if this IUI doesn't work, I'll probably try to get them next month. Thanks!
