Sensitive post - early test after IUI

[London_Em]

Hello!

I had my 3rd IUI treatment 15 days ago. The doctor said ‘ideally’ wait until day 18 but when I explained that I have short cycles she said wait ‘at least 2 weeks’.

This morning I tested on day 15 and got a BFP. I’ve been cautiously so happy since then but have only been able to get hold of the clinic nurses station this afternoon. I’ve been told by the nurse I spoke to it could well be a false positive due to the Gonasi trigger shot.

I feel so so silly for testing early but the doctor seemed to support it. I’m now facing an agonising wait until day 18 after what’s been such a hard 2ww.

Any other early testers out there? I could do with some positive vibes as I feel so silly and scared right now.

Thanks for reading

No wisdom to offer you Em but am hoping so much that it stays positive for you xx

Thank you so much AuroraXen . What a rollercoaster eh? Best of luck with your own journey. Xxx

It sounds like you did wait 15days…which is 2 weeks no? Anyway, I’m sure everything will be fine and you get another bfp. Best of luck! X

Thank you! I tested after 15 days but the clinic nurses are saying you’re meant to wait 18 days 😬 I did another test this morning (16 days) and it’s still a BFP, so I’m feeling cautiously optimistic x

I’m keeping everything crossed for you that it stays (I’m sure it will 🤗). I just did my first IUI last Saturday after I only got one huge follicle in my first ivf cycle so they told me to try IUI as collecting was a risk and they didn’t want to lose the egg as the follicle looked good. I’m now on day 6 and analysing every ache and pain, I have an ache in my right side since yesterday (where the follicle was) and just praying it’s a good sign. Did you have any symptoms in the wait? X

Hi Clare, ah that’s interesting you ended up having IUI, sounds like a good plan but hope you’re feeling okay about it all as it must’ve been weird expecting to have IVF then having IUI. I took progesterone pessaries following the 3rd IUI, as I have short cycles and my period had come quite quickly with the first 2 tries, so the minimal cramping/bloating I’ve had, I’ve put down to side effects. I definitely don’t ‘feel’ pregnant though. Hope you’re finding the wait okay so far, it’s tough isn’t it. Wishing you loads of luck for a good outcome xx

Hi Em, my understanding is that after 12 days the trigger shot is definitely out of your blood, so congratulations, this sounds a positive to me!

Thank you so much for replying. This forum is such a good place for reassurance when the worrying gets to you! Xx

When I did IUI, I tested each day and my trigger shot was gone by day 8, and got bfp on day 12.

Thanks so much for your reply xx

I'm not sure why they've told you to wait until day 18. I have had 3 IUI's and was told 2 weeks. Your BPF is what it is. Congratulations
