So I had an IUI injection on July 29 (no shot) natural ovulation. I was on Clomid and Estrodial. I experienced a lot of cramping, mood swings, headaches, bloating and loss of appetite. I was on progesterone gel (8%) starting three days after IUI. I am now 17 days post IuI and have had negative pregnancy tests. I stopped taking the progesterone gel on the 12th of August because if I wasn't pregnant I should have started my period on the 11th of august. I had read that the progesterone will stop you from having a period and to get off of it and within two to three days you would start your period if you aren't pregnant. I am four days late on my period and still experiencing all the above symptons and negative pregnancy tests. My wife and I are really worried. I am getting bloodwork done tomorrow but won't have the results for a few days. Has anyone else had this experience and ended up being pregnant?
After my last IUI was a negative, I stopped the Crinone and it took more than 5 days for me to get my period. I don't remember the exact day, but I know I was still having crazy symptoms and sometimes when I would wipe it be a pale pink. I called my RE and she basically said every person is different and it also depends on the build up inside. Sorry for your negative

Don't have much advice because I typically started my period after a few days of stopping the progesterone (and one month I actually started while I was still on it) but wanted to say sorry for the negative.... Good luck with everything!
Update: not pregnant:( so disheartening. I know it's rare to happen the first time around but I had hope. I feel like I lost something I never had. It's weird.

Every negative is a loss. It makes sense to feel the way you do. Hang in there...I hope next try is successful!

Exactly. I can totally relate to that feeling of loss. It sucks. You're absolutely not alone.

Sorry about your BFN Not sure if your period started yet or not, but mine wouldn't start until at least 3 days passed, sometimes up to a week. If it hasn't started in 2 weeks that's when you should call your doctor.
Some of us are lucky and get pregnant on the first IUI, some of us take a few tries, some require even more intervention... it just depends on the person's body! Hang in there and don't give up The average, from my understanding, is 3-6 tries.
