Confusion.. 1st IUI

Morgan's • Sat, Feb 15

This is my first go round with IUI and I'm confused. I also used clomid, had a spike on Day 12 of my cycle and went in and had my IUI this last Tuesday. However my glow app appears to say I am ovulating this week and have a higher chance this week... I am assuming it is safe to say I should go with what the doctors tell me to count since it is a "chemical" cycle? I'm so just so scared that I missed the boat or did it to early... I sound super dumb I know... but I have been trying for 10 years naturally sooo I really want this!

No supplements at the moment talked to the doctor today she said obviously take a HPT next week, and if still no period by Day 35 to call them back. They did increase my 100mg clomid to 3 times a day next cycle. I am obviously prepared for the big negative test. I am feeling a lot of stress due to I had to use a donor and was only able to purchase 3 vials of my donor of choice... I just keep thinking... 1 vial down....

Listen this road is not easy. And if you have gotten to this point there have been some bumps in the road. I still have my ups and downs. Even after 5 failed IUIs I just keep thinking I am closer then where I started from.

So they have you on supplements?

Curious, Was your doctor monitoring your follicle size with ultrasound ? I’d trust the doctors, sometimes it’s hard with all these apps telling us different things, but they’re the experts.

I had the same confusion for my last 4 iui cycles.Based on this app dates were different and doc did IUI almost 7-9 days before of these dates.

Stay positive! I’m sure your doctor timed everything perfectly.

No the doctor did not monitor my follicle size this round.... he did my last cycle

Apps only predict ovulation, it’s not 100% accurate. If your Dr doesn’t monitor your follicles use opk’s to predict ovulation. You can also get bloodwork to check progesterone levels to confirm ovulation.

Yes I am to get my progesterone checked on Day 21 which will be this wednesday... so fingers crossed

Also I would recommend to BD this week in case you haven’t ovulated already.

Were you on and meds that stopped ovulation while your follicles grew and then gave you a trigger shot to release your follicles?

No I was not given any other medication besides clomid
