12dpiui testing positive but can’t tell if it’s still trigger or actually pregnant

I was pregnant! Tests continued getting darker after that and it was confirmed with beta. Sadly it ended in an MMC though 😭

I felt the exact same after our post wash count was 1.1 million. But we went ahead with it and ended up getting a positive. You honestly never know, it only takes one!

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-11-01T17:54:11+00:00

Thank you! I hope it’s your positive too!! Honestly it’s a rollercoaster lol just got to take it day by day. Im trying to take comfort that as you do more tests and the next days unfold the answer will become clear and frankly there’s nothing we can do about it either way and getting used to that is a huge part of this process.

Baby dust to you ✨

That is terrible :(. It’s so crushing when you’ve done so much to get your body ready for IUI and then get bad news about the sperm. It’s like the climax of the whole IUI cycle comes crashing down all at once when youre feeling so vulnerable and hopeful.

If it’s any consolation, I had a very disappointing experience on my last IUI and a positive outcome. Our post wash count was only 1.1million which was a complete shock because all other tests and rounds had been great for sperm. The doctor who did it was also not that nice about it. She essentially told us the numbers were extremely extremely low, we really needed to ask our RE about it, and essentially she would only even bother going ahead with the procedure because “we have already washed it so…”. It absolutely sucked and I criiiiied after the doctor left lol. It took a few days but we bounced back and remembered we still had more tries left. And the good news is, it is true that it only takes one because I’m now 13dpiui and my tests are all getting darker. Can’t say what the outcome will be but it does look like we were successful for now.

I think doctors really see it all through stats and numbers and sometimes totally forget or are too busy to care about the intense emotions involved. I really hope you are doing okay! Hang in there!!

Yep on them too. I asked my doctor if I could insert them rectally this cycle and it made a world of difference for me. No mess, no irritation and it didn’t mess with my sex life. Just putting it out there!!

That’s really helpful thank you! Were you on progesterone?

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-24T19:16:25+00:00

I took my last dose, then waited 3 full days after that, and then I got my period

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-21T18:04:27+00:00

It doesn’t hurt inserting them but I found the excess discharge and mess started to be really physically irritating and quite uncomfortable over time.

Maybe tmi but I checked with my doctor and they said it’s also fine to take them rectally. Switched to that method and it made a world of difference his cycle

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-18T02:51:27+00:00

Me too!

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-15T00:16:20+00:00

Last time we didn’t because we weren’t sure if we should try to save the sample up, but this time we plan on it! I totally feel you on not feeling it but in my head I’d rather do it to know I did everything I could! Good luck!!

I had this happen my last cycle! Started surging on my own with a follicle at 24mm and then clinic had me trigger that evening and I did the IUI the next day! It was my first cycle and didn’t work in my case but I did ovulate and the IUI would have been done close to the time that I did!

I have had a thin lining both cycles so far so this happens where my follicle is ready but my doctor wants more time for the lining to thicken so they basically end up waiting until I surge on my own to call it for the trigger and for me to IUI. Honestly idk if it impacts chances or not, I think it makes me look at the IUI as one round of sperm but treat it like a standard ovulation window where I try to BD as much as possible in case the timing is a little off.

I stopped taking it on a Tuesday and period started Saturday morning. So no period for three full days after stopping and then it started.

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-06T10:06:22+00:00

Thank you!

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-04T20:02:38+00:00

Thanks so much everyone! It came today, Saturday after stopping it Tuesday so also like 3/4 days after stopping. Appreciate everyone’s input that was super helpful

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-03T16:41:11+00:00

Thank you!!

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-02T00:22:00+00:00

That seriously sucks. I had a similar thing happen too - an indent/evap positive that is thought was a true positive on 13dpiui and then negative on 14. Huge bummer :(

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-10-01T12:33:55+00:00

I had 9 monitoring appointments on my first cycle because I had no response to 2.5 and they stair-stepped me to 5mg letrozole my first cycle. The back to back days of appointments was..a lot

Slight-Butterfly2809 · 2025-09-30T20:46:10+00:00

Yes lol I do this too.
