Follicle Study Showed Follicles On Ovary. Instructed For HCG Injection, Took While Ovulating. When To Go For IUI?

I have a question about my lh surge and iui. I had a follicle study today which showed a 20x24 sized follicle on left ovary. I was instructed to do the hcg injection tonight at 8pm. All day I have been having ovulation pains and before I did the injection, I had a positive OPK. I still took the hcg injection but should we reschedule the iui sooner than Wednesday morning at 8:30 am?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Generally, IUI is performed 36 hours after HCG shot.
Ideally before the HCG shot, you should have had a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm if ovulation had occurred, then the shot would have been unnecessary.
As such, it is alright to schedule the IUI within 36 hours, maybe a few hours earlier, as the oocytes does survive for upto 48 hours.
All the best for your IUI.
YOu can remain sexually active tonight to maximize chances of conception.
Take care.
