9 days post IUI

9 days post IUI

Hi! I had my first IUI 9 days ago after 10 months of TTC. I’ve been trying to test the HCG out. I initially was doing the pre-mom tests but decided to add in Wondfo as well. The last few days it looked like the HCG was getting lighter and I had vvvfl. This morning at 7am on the Wondfo I thought it looked just a bit more than yesterday so I took another one at 11am and it looks a tinyyy bit darker. Of course I’ll test again tomorrow and probably tonight because let’s be honest…I can’t stop thinking about it. But what do y’all think based off of this picture?

I had my first IUI this morning (ouch- didn’t realize how crampy I’d be afterward). My husband’s sperm count post wash was 9.3 million. One of the nurse practitioners recommended waiting until tomorrow night to baby dance again so his sperm count can recover. The other said the more sperm in the reproductive tract, the better, so we can totally do it tonight and tomorrow if we want to. We did a trigger shot about 26 hours before IUI so I’m not even sure if I’ve technically ovulated yet or not. Would you all baby dance tonight? Would love feedback! 🤍✨

I triggered this morning around 7:30am and we are scheduled for IUI tomorrow at 9:30am. We BD yesterday morning at my doctor’s recommendation. I’m on just about every supplement you can be on, eating Brazilian nuts and pineapple cores and drinking pomegranate juice. I’ve also been doing fertility acupuncture once a week for the last 5 weeks. I plan to lay down with a red light focused on my lower tummy this evening. Any other recommendations? Please send me all your baby dust! 🫶🏼✨🤍🙏🏼

I’m scheduled for my first IUI this coming Monday at 9:30am. My doctor told me to take the trigger shot Sunday morning between 8-9am. Most of what I’ve seen others say is that they took it 36 hours before the procedure. Any reason why my doctor is only doing it roughly 24 hours before? Has anyone else done it with this same time frame and had success?

Back story - I’m almost 37. First pregnancy in 2023 was very easy for us (we are so grateful!). One attempt and we were pregnant. This time around - that is not the case and we are 10 months in trying now. I’ve got a low ovarian reserve and otherwise unexplained infertility so our plan is to attempt 2-3 IUIs before moving on to IVF if need be. Praying we have success with the IUI though! 🤍✨

Thank you ladies!
