Hi all. I had my first IUI Oct 1. My doctor said I can test myself a week later, so Thursday I did, nothing, same as this morning. Kinda bummed.
I have been so tired these last few days, having crazy dreams at night, normally I dont have any. My boobs hurt too when they are free out of my bra. I feel like I'm getting my period, but its to early. So I feel hopeful. I have slight cramping at times, not always, sometimes.
Is this normal? Has anyone else felt like this and then was pregnant? My blood test is the 15th. I think I will test myself again closer to next Thursday. I hate this waiting!!!!!

any advice is always helpful. Thanks!!

Kara

    Yes, I had mild period-like cramping about 1 week after my IUI, and it turns out I was pregnant!

    I'm pretty sure 1 week is too early for a positive at home pregnancy test result, so try to be patient and test again later. I think I got my positive result 14 days after the IUI (I remember I got a negative at 11 days post IUI). Good luck!

    Hi.

    My boobs hurt too but I wasn't sure if it was because I was preg or because of the progesterone I was taking. I tested one week later and it was negative. Too early I guess. I was due for my blood test on a Friday and the over the counter urine test came out positive on the Tuesday before the Friday.

    Keep us posted. Best to you.

    TMB, What is an over the counter urine test? Just a preg. test?

    Thanks

    Yes, I had all of those symptoms and got my BFP on day 12...it's still a little early for a BFP...try again in 4-5 more days.

    Sounds promising...Good luck!
