IUI #1 Part 1 done! part 2 tomorrow?

So we did IUI #1 this morning, and RE says to come back tomorrow for IUI again. Did others have IUI twice? It is just that no one mentioned it before. I used the OPK and O naturally (no trigger), so maybe that is why?

 

Also RE said 15 days after tomorrow if I don't get AF, to go in for morning pregnancy blood test. I have read a lot of you taking pg tests at home, do I have to wait to go into the RE?

    I have never done back-to-back IUIs, but a lot of people do, and many REs feel it statistically improves your chances.You can definitely take as many HPTs as you want before your beta draw - some people choose to wait because they find it emotionally easier and some of us find it better to test on our own before getting a beta drawn. Since you didn't trigger, there is no risk of picking up hcg left over from the trigger on a HPT. Good luck to you this cycle!
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

    A lot of people on here have had b2b IUI's, my RE doesn't do it, but for some it seems standard. 

    As far as testing before your beta - sure you can.  You can test at home whenever you want.  If you get a + b/f your appt, you can always call and see if they can get you in sooner.  You don't have to worry about false + by testing too soon since you didn't use a trigger.  Good luck.

    It is my RE's regular practice to do back to back IUIs.  He usually likes to have some sperm there before the egg arrives, and also after the egg arrives, as you can't tell EXACTLY when you'll O.  He just feels it gives better chances.  I trust him.  But, a lot of women do just one IUI and get pregnant too.

    Good luck! 

    11/10: IUI #1 =100mg Clomid CD4-8 + pregnyl trigger + IUI = chemical pregnancy
    1/11: IUI #2 = 5mg Femara + trigger + IUI = BFN
    2/11: IUI #3 = injectibles + trigger + IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 April 2011 ER 4/23 w/16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fert., 4 blasts to freeze, 5dt of 2 blasts on 4/28, beta #1 5/7 = 243... beta #2 5/9 = 491....beta #3 5/11 = 1113!!
