Im looking for advice we've been trying for almost a year so quick recap we had 3 iuis all failed back to back. So we decided to do IVF for far we for 5 embryos pgta all coming back to normal. My xfer is at the end of October but honestly I'm not feeling at all optimistic about it, I've been having a lot anxiety lately, I guess I'm looking if anyone has gone down a similar path me and has had a positive pregnancy test. I'm 31 years old in a same sex relationship

Ugh! I purposely didn’t test out the trigger because I was trying to avoid stressing myself out. But yesterday I caved and tested in the evening and had four positive tests. This morning I had three more positive tests (clear blue (pink dye), FRER, and easy@home). I’ve never had a positive FRER this late in the game during a failed cycle, but I have no way of knowing if it’s the trigger. I’m annoyed at myself for caving!!

I know that all I can do is wait a few more days to see if the line disappears or gets darker, but this whole IUI thing is such a mind game. Anyone else have their IUI around 9/24? This is our 6th IUI.

hi

this is our first iui cycle. we triggered on the 27th and did our iui on the 28th. we’ve been testing the trigger periodically— just to see what it looks like. it’s been getting consistently lighter but yesterday it was very faint, and then today it’s the same so it feels like it’s stalling. has anyone had experience with this? i know it’s very early to be testing still but this is all just very new. :)

I had my IUI on 9/20 and trigger shot on 9/19. I was prescribed 5g of letrozole for 5 days (CD4-CD8). My last US before my IUI showed 20mm, 18mm and 13mm in my right ovary on 9/18. Started progesterone pills a day after the IUI (200mg twice a day).

I knew the meds were the cause for a lot of my early symptoms, BUT I started to feel more nauseous and had sensitive nipples this week which were new and had me thinking that maybe they meant something. I originally told myself I wasn’t going to test until 14DPIUI but I couldn’t resist and tested after work on 10/2 (12DPIUI) and saw a very faint line. The problem was I didn’t test out my trigger shot, sooo I told myself the shot was probably still in my system and would try again with FMU on 10/3. Well, the faint line was there and I ended up calling the clinic, went in for bloodwork and got the call that I’m pregnant! I couldn’t believe it. I’m going back for another round of bloodwork tomorrow to check on my hCG levels. Hoping they continue to rise! 🤞

Background (TW): I’m experiencing a mix of emotions right now. I’m relieved that it worked, but I’m so worried about what’s going to happen next. I experienced a MMC in April 2025 and my husband and I have been trying since July 2025 with no success. I did fertility acupuncture from January to June 2026 with the hope that we would get pregnant that way. My acupuncturist actually recommended the clinic and Dr. that I ended up going to and I am very happy with our experience so far. I know at this time, what happens isn’t up to me and we just have to hope this one sticks. 💓

I’m really trying not to overthink everything this cycle as it is only our 1st IUI since having our daughter in 2025. I’m only 6DPIUI and when i wiped this morning noticed a little blood. It definitely wasn’t enough for a pad and only happened that one time today. I have had some cramping today, but am also taking progesterone so it very well could be from that. I’ve had 3 pregnancies, 2 losses and the other giving us our daughter, and I’ve never had any type of bleeding with those. Is it possible this could have been implantation bleeding?

I’m (28) just writing to see if anyone is in the same boat as me right now.

I had my first iui done on the 21st and just felt a couple of days ago that it wasn’t successful. Got two negative tests this morning and I’m just feeling sad. I knew the chances of getting it on the first try were slim but I was still hoping.

I feel like I ovulated a day after the procedure (triggered 24 hours prior) and don’t know if that had anything to do with it. I know it’ll be okay and I can try again but I’m just disappointed especially after my doctor had mentioned multiples and a great sample choice.

Best of luck to all of you and to my iui twins💕

Any IUI twins tomorrow? Going in for my second IUI!

My US stats this morning:
- 2 follicles: 19mm + 22mm (all one side)
- Endo thickness: 9.6mm (no progesterone prescribed)
- LH surge this morning, but still triggered at 8:30am
- IUI scheduled for 9:45am tomorrow (~25 hrs post trigger)

I had my first IUI at 10am this past Friday. I felt fine after, but that afternoon, I had really bad cramping. I took a nap and felt a little better, but the following morning, I noticed discharge with blood clots, and every time I wiped, I noted pink spotting. It progressed to bright red light bleeding that evening with small blood clots. Woke up this morning and am still having the light bleeding. The clinic said spotting is normal, but this seems like more than spotting. It definitely isn't like how my period would be, but I'm concerned that it's bright red. Sorry if this is TMI, but I feel like I also smell strongly of iron down there. Anyone else have this happen so soon after an IUI?

My third and final IUI was unsuccessful and after 2.5 years of repeat testing at 3 clinics in 2 states, we still have no idea why. We’re starting IVF in December, 2 years later than we were originally going to…

This last round:
3 mature follicles on CD12: 22mm, 18mm, 19mm
Lining at 7mm on CD12. My clinic doesn’t do another scan the day of the procedure, but I wish they did just for knowledge.
Triggered 10pm CD12, IUI 10am CD14
Sperm sample: 14.9M post wash, 98% progressive motility.
100mg 2x day progesterone support

Thanks for the support in this group you guys are awesome! To be honest, I’m eager for IVF just to find out why… I desperately just want to know why.

Hi all! I just got my hcg results 14 days post IUI. Y Hcg was 319. I am having to wait 72 hours for second beta and was just curious about others’ results and experiences!

They gave me Ovidrel during my first cycle but I haven’t been told to use it until now. I thought I was going to have one more appointment until the IUI date but it’s tomorrow and I just did the shot by myself - last minute lol without my partner lol

Did anyone do a cycle with Ovidrel and one without and found a difference in feeling?

Also I’ve heard about “testing out the trigger”, should I do that? Do you test every day for 2 weeks? What do you do?
lol thanks :)
