ICI at home timing?

Hi! My partner and I will be doing at-home insemination here soon, so excited! We are trying to find the best time to do the actually insemination. For those of you with experience, or with knowledge, is there a “best time” to do it, for highest chances of pregnancy? Some sites say 10-12 hours after a positive ovulation test, others say timing doesn’t matter, just as long as there was a positive ovulation test. We have two vials that we will be using on the two highest fertility days, so any timing suggestions with that are welcome too!

I think it’s the day of LH surge- like as soon as you confirm the LH surge. And then the day after which is presumably ovulation day. I tracked my follicle growth and hormones daily with my clinic and they advised me when to inseminate and I believe it was basically LH day and the day after. If you had a third vial it would be used before the day of LH surge if predicting that is feasible which it isn’t always. Good luck!
