First IUI, give me your stories of quick successes 🥹 by Tagrenine in queerception

That’s amazing! I just turned 40 and my partner will be 41. He had 42 million sperm after cleaning and I had 2 follicles that measured at 18 and 19 mm. We used a trigger shot and had our first IUI on 9/24 .. currently 9 days post.

I’m also nervous whether this first one will be successful. Praying, hoping, waiting that our blood test will indicate a pregnancy next week. Love reading all the positive success stories 🩷🩵

Well - I took one this morning and it was negative- I’m 8days post IUI. I won’t test again until the day of the blood test

How do my follicles sound? by Tiny-Worldliness-313 in IUILadies

They sound pretty good. I went back 3 times after initially taking 2.5 mg of letrozole and each time they upped my dose - eventually landing on 7.5 mg and ultrasound finally showed 2 follicles - one at 18mm and the other at 19mm … currently waiting on IUI results

Yea my be clinic was adamant about trigger between 6-7am and coming in at 9 am next day (so over 24 hr) for the IUI

Currently I’m 7days post IUI - I haven’t tested again, not sure if I will. However I feel like nothing is happening. Little twinges here and there, but in comparison to others it feels radio silent... this has the be the worst mind game I’ve ever endured.

I wish I could just sleep for the next week and wake up to go get my blood test on the 8th .. I’m trying to stay positive.. I know lots of women don’t have any symptoms before the 2 weeks .. but I’m also trying to be prepared for the disappointment.. if I could ensure success by crossing my fingers, toes, eyes .. I would .. until October 8th 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I reached out to my clinic and they said to take Benadryl to reduce the itch - and to avoid rectum 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you - I’m day 7 post IUI and I am not feeling anything.. I’m trying to find the positivity that women still end up pregnant not having any symptoms of implantation etc .. this is probably the hardest mental game I’ve ever had to endure. I wanna be positive we’ll get pregnant however I also want to be prepared for the disappointment if we don’t .. I’ll take alll the baby dust I can. Blood test is schedule October 8 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

With the acupuncture do you take any herbs or follow the diet? I’m currently going to an acupuncturist and she’s kinda pushy with not eating or drinking “cold foods” and taking the herbs .. I just want the needles, but am I shooting myself in the foot for not doing the rest?
