Hello! How long does the sperm live in the uterus after IUI?

[JustEden]

what about women who have endo, iui has been recommended to me using lectrum as prep for 3 months

I wish I had listened to this before my IUI Friday! I know the soonest we can test for pregnancy is in two weeks, but I heard you kind of tell before the two weeks are up with LH surge readings. Is this true? And does it matter if you took a trigger shot? How long does that trigger stay in your body?
