Can someone help explain?

Question

I am very new to the whole IUI Clomid and trigger shot process and I'm having a hard time comprehending how it all works can someone please explain it to me? I will be starting it after my period starts in a few weeks.

Answer

Heres how it was for me for all of my iui cycles
Call on cycle day 1 full flow period to set appt
Cycle day 3 baseline ultrasound / bloodwork 
Meds day 3-7 
Cycle day 9 or 10 (for me - maybe not so early for others because I ovulate early naturally) - follicle check ultrasound - if / when follicle(s) are over 18mm trigger shot. If follicles not quite big enough another scan scheduled in 2 days until big enough to trigger. 
IUI scheduled either 24 or 36 hours after trigger
Day of iui - if you have a partner they go in morning of iui and give their sperm sample - gets washed. You go in a few hours later and iui basically feels like a papsmear. Lasts only a few minutes. 
If your doctor has you supplement progesterone you start that a few days later
Sometimes your doctor will do a blood test day 21 to confirm ovulation / progesterone levels (mine only did this on my first round)
14 days past IUI either blood test or at home test for pregnancy

Answer

Interesting.  Thank you SO much! Makes me feel better.  I was getting a little overwhelmed googling things online lol. I ovulate naturally,  and was hoping IUI would be a better cheaper option. My poor husband will have to give another sperm sample, poor thing! He already goes in on the 22nd for his FIRST ever semen analysis
