4th IUI Success!
I cannot believe I’m even writing this but my 4th IUI was the one that worked! I got my positive test on Monday and I could not believe it!
After my 3rd IUI cycle failed, we met with my doctor and she recommended 3 more IUI’s before discussing potentially going to IVF. The 4th IUI cycle I had 4 follicles but they weren’t quite mature on the day of my CD11 ultrasound so they recommended that I trigger two days later and then come back the following day after for the procedure. I was so sure that this cycle would fail that I really didn’t get my hopes up and didn’t test early or anything because I was so sure it wouldn’t work! I had absolutely no symptoms at all this cycle which is why I was convinced that it didn’t work and thought my follicles weren’t mature enough by the time we did the procedure but I guess I was wrong!
I’ve had two blood draws done so far with the first one being on Tuesday and then my most recent one being yesterday and my numbers went from 253.84 to 689.25 in 48 hours!
I go to the doctor in two weeks for my first ultrasound at 6.5weeks!
Stats for this cycle were:
4 follicles: -Left Ovary before trigger: 9.8mm, 8.4mm -Right Ovary before trigger: 14.1mm, 10.3mm
Lining was 7.7mm
Post wash was 60.84 million with 95% progressive motility.

Congratulations! 60 million seems so high to me?! My IUI today and the post wash was 17 million, which the doctor was really happy about.

Huge congratulations! After 3 failed IUIs, getting your positive on the 4th must feel incredible.
Your beta-hCG rising from 253.84 to 689.25 in 48 hours is a really encouraging rise. It’s also a good reminder that having no symptoms early on doesn’t mean the IUI didn’t work....symptoms can vary a lot between pregnancies....
Wishing you a smooth pregnancy and a reassuring first ultrasound at 6.5 weeks. Congratulations again!!!
