IUI implantation?

[Amanda1705]

hello

Just after some advice my partner went through IUI on 12th July ( round one) and 1 week after insemination spotting/ light flow happened with a couple of blood clots and spotting has continued( now 5 days worth of spotting) period north due until 26th-27th July.

took a pregnancy test on day 11 post IUI ( today) which was negative but having early pregnancy symptoms such as tender breasts and cramping only very little with a bit of back ache.

has anyone had similar as due to take final test on 26th July to tell clinic outcome but we have both lost hope with the negative test result .

thanks

I don't know much about IUI but 11 days after IUI sounds a bit early to test in my opinion. I am basing this on the fact that I generally ovulate on day 12 and have a 28 day cycle and in that situation if trying naturally you would be advised to test when your period was due so on day 28 which would be 16 days after the egg was released. I don't know what the timings are with IUI ie whether they do it just before the egg is due to be released or on the actual day of ovulation but it can't be days after ovulation since we are told an egg only lives 12 to 24 hours after ovulation if not fertilised so that is the fertilisation window. The only time I have actually been pregnant (which sadly didn't work out in the end) I tested on Day 29 and got a faint line and again on Day 30 when I got a normal line. I realise you can do the early days pregnancy tests but I note that on them they indicate that they are not nearly 100% accurate if used early.
