I’m feeling so discouraged. I am 9 days past IUI and it is still negative. Anyone have any success storied after 9 days past their IUI?

It’s my first time doing IVF so a little clueless. I had a fresh transfer on 3 July of a 5 day embryo, then had bloods taken on 9, 10 and 11 July (so 6dp5dt, 7dp5dt and 8dp5dt) which I know is early but it was because I was going away on a trip and wouldn’t be able to do bloods later. They came back as hcg= 4, then...

Hello! I just thought to introduce myself as I am new here. I am 5+2 (first pregnancy). I have been going through IVF treatment for a year now so I could not believe my eyes when I finally saw my positive. I am due end of March 2025. I would be happy to share this journey with you ladies 💖

AF has just arrived at 12 days post insemination from first IUI. I took gonal-f injections and trigger shot pre-IUI and duphaston tablets (progesterone) post IUI 3x day. My app is saying my luteal phase is too short at 11 days. For context, I am 37, have mild endometriosis and have been trying for 19 months without...

Hey everyone! I just found out I have a hydrosalpinx and need to get one of my fallopian tubes removed and a polyp in my uterus removed as well. I did IUI with my first baby boy and now going forward with this diagnosis I was told IVF is the best route. Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I have been a mess all day.

Absolute devastation is an understatement. Would anyone know why this would be? Could it be lifestyle related? Diet? How can I prevent it from happening again? Will it happen again? I’m only 28 years old so I didn’t think this would happen. This was also my first retrieval as well. And just a side note when we were...

Anyone planning to go IV and heplock free for comfort? My midwife said I could and said if emergency arises that they can get a shot of medication and figure it out but as a low risk pregnancy I really want to avoid it so I can be more comfortable and move freely . I have bad tint veins that roll and it’s always suc...

If yes, how did your period change from before?

Hi. I'm curious to know the reasons for IUI to fail. I have an appointment with the doctor IF the next one fails. And I'm curious to hear what she will say. We've had dominant follicles, plenty of sperm, and good timing. So I don't understand what is going wrong?
