Success after IF

Fear


We did two failed IUIs and now the the third IUI we got a positive pregnancy urine tests yesterday and a positive blood tests.  The doctor wants to continue to moniter my HCG levels to be sure they are on the rise.  They said they would do like 4 of these and then an ultrasound in the 7th week, if everything is still going well.  Is all this normal? 

 This is my first pregnancy I'm only about 2.5 weeks and already feel so tired each evening.

Re: Fear

  • It varies from clinic to clinic a little as for how many times they do it (mine does 3) but yes, it is totally normal.  Congrats!

  • Sounds like a pretty routine approach. IF definitely raises the anxiety level. Good luck!
