When to conduct pregnancy test after ART-IUI?

[CatWoman]

After having Gonal-F (to increase egg production) my usual ovulation of Day 14-16 (in my 30 day cycle) actually occurred on Day 11. When the earliest I could reaslistically take a pregnancy test? Should I test based on my usual Day 30 cycle (i.e. on Day 30), or exactly two weeks after the egg release/IUI procedure (i.e. which is actually about Day 27)? If I use too early I'll just depress myself with the inevitable

(Clearly I've already bought the pregnancy tests - plural - and just need to try avoiding using too early as usual )

I haven't been through this procedure myself but I think the longer you wait the better to test the better!
Loadsa luck!

But it so hard...
I even asked the doctor if he had pills to make two weeks go by faster! Obviously he said unfortunately he didn't or he'd be much richer!

Hello Catwoman! Having had 3 IUI's myself, I was always told by my Dr. to test 2 weeks after the egg release/IUI procedure and not sooner because the trigger shot can actually give you a false positive because of the hcg hormone in it. I know how you feel about your 2WW...I'm in the same boat only my results are tomorrow!

Lot's of luck, I hope this IUI works for you!

Thanks Mandy. On that basis I should test on Thursday, one day after you. So we're, almost, tww buddies. Fingers and toes (but not legs!) crossed for you!

Here's lots of to you all and wishing you all
