Trying to Get Pregnant

Pregger Symptoms after IUI

Hello again!!
I have question that I'm hoping some you ladies that have successful IUI'S can help me answer: How many days past ur IUI did you experience any type of pregnancy symptoms?? I'm so nervous
Little Background
My husband (39) and I (38)
have been ttc for 2 yrs now.... after many tests and taking clomid via gyno we were referred to RE.... OUR issue was low egg reserve and low motility  (30% ) after 2months of diet changes and several vitamins hubby's motility increased to 60%!!
Now I'm 2dpiui and so nervous. I was placed on femara  (1st time )2.5 and also took an hcg shot.....but I have no proven issues with ovulation. The femara generated 3 eggs 22.5 , 18, 14....on left and right ovaries......after the sperm prep and wash hubby's motilty increased to 95%.... if we're lucky enough to finally get pregnant this cycle after all we've been thru... how soon would I experience some type of symptom??? Has anyone had a successful IUI on the first try w/ femara including early symptoms....?
Nerves are SHOT
TRYING to keep busy and be positive.

    Her point is that you aren't going to find success stories with IUI on a board of women trying to conceive, they aren't likely to have success stories to share.

    You might want to ask this in one of the tri boards or the Success After IF board, where the women have had success conceiving, some of them with IUI.

    In other words, how will you know you're pregnant?  The only answer is a + pregnancy test.  Symptoms lie all the time.

    ETA shoot I forgot about the trigger.

    You will have symptoms on the same time frame as anyone else (who didn't use IUI).  You should test whenever you doctor told you to test.  You don't magically have symptoms faster or different symptoms than someone who isn't using IUI.  
  • Thanks.... this entire process has been devastating.... I apologize for entering the "wrong" forum... only looking to support and be supported...never meant to be rude on entice rudness.
  • *lurking*ticker warning*

    OP, I'm just confused. Usually after an IUI and trigger, you go in for a beta (ie: a blood pregnancy test). Unless you're testing out a trigger, your best bet is to wait until that beta. The trigger, which is hcg, can give you some pregnancy-esque symptoms so truthfully, the only true symptom of a pregnancy is a positive pregnancy test. You should be asking your doctor for that, not a bunch of internet strangers.

    Good luck.

    The actual advice was greatly appreciated..but the ongoing negativity about an error....totally made on my apart ( that i apologized for ) isnt.....and is absolutely childish. Moving on........ good luck
  • An IUI with and hCG trigger means that you were given the hormone that is tested in pregnancy tests. So yes, you have symptoms that could be what you would/will feel if/when you are KU. 

    Either way, since you are only 2 days past iui, implantation hasn't occured. At this point you are in the same boat as anyone in their Two Week Wait (TWW). So testing isn't valid until after 9-11 days after ovulation, or in your case iui.
    There is nothing we can do, but direct you to threads that would be more appropriate to help you see that others are experiencing the same issue with waiting to test. Your attitude to PP giving you advice and directing you on where to find others in the TWW will cause problems. You had 3 days before you could post. Those days were meant for you to lurk, learn how the community on this board works, and to understand where to ask your questions. Since you didn't follow the rules, and sassed regulars you will not be received well anywhere until you have apologized.

    For what it's worth OP: I was kinda doing some other things while I typed my response so I was pretty slow responding. I apparently missed some of what was said in the thread from the time I opened it till the time I posted. So I missed where people told you about the TOU and you apologized. My bad for beating the dead horse there.

    To better answer your original question: it's impossible, so far as we know based off the current science, for implantation to occur before 5DPO/DPT. The reasoning for that is because it takes that long for the cells of the blastocyte to double enough to break through the zona pellucida and "hatch." This is known as "zona hatching." Once the blastocyte "hatches" it can implant, assuming it has made it to the uterus. The time it takes for the fertilized egg to travel from the ovary, where it is released, to the uterus normally is around 7 days. So theoretically implantation could occur anytime from 5DPO/DPT onward. It's normally said that implantation "normally" happens between 7-12DPO/DPT. Once implantation happens it takes a day or two (or possibly a little more) to have enough hCG in your system to be detectable on a HPT and to cause pregnancy symptoms. So, theoretically, when a woman becomes pregnant it would take 8-12 days after ovulation/embryo transfer (for those doing IVF cycles) to turn a positive pregnancy test and to have symptoms. It's also worth noting that a fairly large percent of women don't experience symptoms till 5-6 weeks pregnant. So even if you have enough hCG to turn a positive pregnancy test you won't necessarily have symptoms. 

    ETA: Like other posters have pointed out: It isn't unreasonable to assume you may be having some "pregnancy" symptoms at the moment from the hCG in the trigger shot. We're not saying you're not having symptoms. We're just saying at only 2 days your IUI there isn't really any way those symptoms could be from an actual pregnancy.

  • To answer the original questio...i have never been pregnant so i dont know but i would assume the pregnancy symptoms would be the same as if it happened naturally. Which can all be confusing seeing as though is nearly the same as your period. Only way to know is to test. Also one would assume there is success otherwise it would not be an option to do so.....not much help but atleast im not jumping down your throat. Other boards might be of more assistance. I understand you didn't know so its ok.  :-)

  • I'm 4 days post-IUI and have no symptoms of pregnancy, just my usual LP symptoms.

  • It’s 2025 and I just happen to come across this discussion board and I am disgusted this women came on here asking for help and felt this was a safe space for her to ask questions and all of you that left comments were rude AF !! All because she asked a question on the “wrong discussion board “. You don’t treat people like that!
  • However you may feel about how this poster was treated, it's been nine years—I'm not going to read through 33 replies to confirm but I'm almost certain every person involved, including the OP, has long since moved on from this board. 

    I hope you find what you're looking for.
  • It’s important to look at the date of posts before you start ranting about how people were treated. I saw a new post with 34 comments, I got excited and settled in with my coffee for a good read. Once I realized it was a really old zombie thread my morning feels ruined. That is extremely rude of you.

    knottieaa4864d277f3a6a5 Oh FFS... grow a spine and chill out.  First of all, if you're doing specialized medical shyte for a baby, your RE will walk you through it all and answer a ZILLION questions.  Second, people who've never BEEN PG, can't tell you when THEIR PG symptoms started.  Third, you're NOT allowed to ask if you're PG on this board or anywhere on TB.  Fourth, TTGP was MUCH busier in those days and it was a disaster when tons of newbs came in spouting their dear diary requests on new discussions.  Fifth, I'm SOOOo glad you came here to lecture US about something that happened 9 years ago.  And now will probably airplane your way out of here when the women responding to this post from 2016 are either living with their living child(ren) and/or are barren hags who have given up on having a child of their own (Represent!).  But hey, you want it old school... here's OLD school.  Enjoying that????  Wanna bring back some MORE zombie posts without getting to know anyone who is currently on this site?  Mumbles...  Anywho, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
