Hi there, My name is Lauren , I am 29 , my husband is 31. We have been ttc #1 for over 13 months. After 9 months of ttc we went to a fertility specialist. First thing he did was an ultrasound to see the condition of my ovaries and my egg count. He was extremely pleased by what he saw. he recommended I go for a HSG and that my husband go for a SA. Everything was fine with me but my husband has low motility but a high sperm count.

We started our first treatment of IUI with one round of Femara/Letrozole and then a shot of Ovidrel followed by the procedure on 10/27/14. I went on 11/3 for bloodwork to test for progesterone and it came back at a level 14 and the dr was happy with that. The tww was awful but I thought we would be in the clear since the dr said we had a really good chance. well Today I am 14 DPIUI I get my blood Preg. Test tomorrow and I started spotting yesterday at 13dpiui.

I am really nervous that this is my period. It is dark brown and it seems to stop and then start up again. I don't know what to think. Have any of you been through this? I know having success after the first IUI is rare but we are hoping for a miracle. any thoughts?

Welcome. Do your periods normally start with spotting? When mine start, it starts. I'm afraid it is your period though. You could do a home pregnancy test if you want. Or you could just see what tomorrow brings.

And your chances of a successful IUI the first time is the same as any other time you try. My RE said an IUI will usually work within 6 months if its going to. Also, if you did just have your HSG, they say that might give you some luck the 3 months after.

Hi and thank you. Yes they do start with spotting,I am afraid it is my period. I had my hsg back in August, I guess we will know tomorrow... At least I won't be completely devastated when I get the call at work...ugh

Well good luck with your next cycle. Maybe tomorrow will be CD1 and you can begin again

Welcome!

Sorry about the spotting. At 14DPO, you can also take a HPT if you hate the feeling of waiting for the nurse's call with beta results...the trigger shot is out of your system by now.

I second taking an at home test. I find it doesn't help as much as i hope it will with the crushing feeling after they call with a BFN, but it does help a little, and will give you a heads up.

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your support! I took the home test it was bfn. Af will be arriving shortly and we will start again with a baseline on cd 3!
