Hurley, I hope everything works out for you
I will be thinking of you!!
I had my first IUI Feb 2nd. About 7DPIUI, I started to have all sorts of pregnancy symptoms. I was trying not to get excited, but it was really hard because I had never had these symptoms before. Finally on Feb 15th, I received a positive blood test, however, my HCG was also low. After a week and half of doing blood work and my HCG slowing climbing, they decided it was not a viable pregnancy. On Feb 25th, my HCG came back negative. I was absolutely devistated. I couldn't seem to get myself together for several hours. The doctor called it a chemical pregnancy which means that fertilization took place, but the sac did not attach to my uterus. The doctors office told me that I should expect my period in the next week. If I didn't get it, then we would need to discuss what to do next. The very next day I woke up with the worst period of my life. The cramping and bleeding was so bad which apparently is partly because I needed to get rid of the product that started.
Doc said it was ok to move on to IUI #2 the next cycle. Somehow I either ovulated really, really early or I'm not going to ovulate at all. After an ultrasound, it seems that none of my follicules were going to mature.
Now, waiting for next cycle to start. They increased my clomid to 100mg. My next cycle is supposed to start tomorrow so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it starts soon because I want to get on with this.
I really hope this works out for you but just wanted to tell you about my story in case something happens. Either way, I just keep telling myself that at least we know that I CAN get pregnant, it's just getting it to stick is the problem.
Let us know how you make out!
