Hi, Princess
It really does depend on which protocol your clinic follows.
The simplest cycle is one where you wait for a natural LH surge by doing tests, call the clinic when you surge and then go in 2 days later for insem.
A basic Clomid cycle would mean taking Clomid over a period of 5 days on days indicated by your clinic followed by a scan somewhere around day 8-10 to check if there is any progress and then possible further scans and insem after the LH surge or, when the scan detects a follie that is 18mm or larger then you take a trigger shot which is followed by insem 24-36 hours later.
A simple stim injection cycle would include injections (with or without Clomid) with monitoring scans again from day 8 or 10 till you have a large enough follie, trigger shot and insem.
I have also seen ladies on here who have had the full cycle that is similar to IVF protocol: downregulation from day 21 of the cycle, day one or two scan, stimulation with injections, trigger shot and then insem.
On any and all of these you may be required to supplement with progesterone pessaries, cream or injections if indicated by your clinic.
Timelines are not simple to predict as insem will happen based on how and when your ovaries respond and I have had insem anywhere from day 14 to day 26 of a cycle.
The earliest you should test is 14 days after insem but many clinics ask that you only test on day 16, 17 or even 21 after insem.
Good luck, Hun
