Whether or not there is any fluid present is really not that big of a deal. I wonder a bit about the timing of the IUI. I usually wait 34-36 hours following HCG to do the IUI. Further, if you are following with ultrasound, then why not continue to follow until the follicles disappear-ovulation. When you spent all the money and aggravation undergoing stimulation, why leave the timing of IUI to chance... Lynn
