Re: no free fluid during ovulation?-another question for Dr. Montgomery

Thanks for your quick response and yes, I'm confused too about the timing. My doctor specifically said yesterday he liked the sperm to be waiting in the tubes when the eggs release so . . . hopefully it's not all for nothing. I know their protocol with Clomid at least is HCG generally day 12, and IUI day 13 or 14, depending on LH surge. He said Clomid can often delay the release, even with HCG shot, but that Gonal-F doesn't cause that and he was confident that release would occur soon. Is this your experience? If this doesn't take, we'll likely only do one more round and I want to make sure I have more knowledge than questions this time! THanks again.
