When would you order the swimmers to get here?

So for the last 5 months I have been tracking my cycle and have had a 30 day cycle each time and Od on day 17 or so. Well last month it looks like I O'd on days 15 and 16 and then Aunt Flo came to visit today which is cycle day 28! I input the info into the ovulation calendar and it said I should O on March 11. I am armed with a 20ct box of smilies but I wanted to ask you ladies when would you order the swimmers to be here. We are planning to do ICI with 3 vials.

Also does anyone have any experience w/1855?

Thanks so much for all of your help and advice.

    I ordered on cycle day 1...and had them delivered on cycle day 10. I would typically get a smiley between cycle days 11-13. So I wanted them there a little early just in case. We also used 3 ici vials. So if you think you'll ovulate on March 11th...I would have them delivered on the 9th maybe? It kinda depends on when you plan on doing the insems.

    I would say to have the swimmers arrive 3days before you plan to insem. Since that falls on a Sunday I would have them arrive the Friday before which would be the 4th. I am overly cautious because just when you think you have your cycle pin pointed it messes you up and you end up Oing 3 days early! But that could just be me :-) Good luck!

    Thanks for responding so quickly! I am a nervous breakdown about this. I would really love for this to work. I am planning to insem on 12, 24 and 36 hrs past positive smiley. Does that sound right? I am 33 years old.

    Definitely order a day or two early.

    I called fedex several times yesterday evening because online the tracking showed no problems, but the package didn't show. Finally at 8:00pm they said they couldn't find it. I called fedex again this morning and they still weren't sure if it was left at the distribution center or on the truck. Finally it showed up a day late.

    Hopefully this is not a common story.
    Good luck

    We did our insems at 0, 12, 24 (ish). But, people seem to switch up their timing depending on when they ovulate...or think they ovulate.

    I ovulate on CD 17 too, and I got my BFP first try (at 36 1/2).
    As long as your cycles are fairly consistent, I would recommend having them delivered CD 15. That way, you've got them just in case you O a little early, and you've got them for several days later just in case you O late.
    And if you haven't noticed yet, it's Murphy's AI Law that you WILL O late the first month that you insem : P

    Good luck!!
