For ladies who have gotten pregnant with IUI...

[JTDs Mom]

What were your symptoms at different dpiui?

I'm 5 dpiui and I'm definitely feeling different, but I'm thinking it's too early to feel anything.

Extremely sore, swollen boobs, bloating, cramping/achy/"warm" feeling in lower abdomen, lower backache--that's what I've been experiencing.  Is it even possible to feel things at this point?

[texasangel343]

those look very good!!  i'm thinking it is a BFP especially with all those negatives before!!  now if i could only get FRER to show those lines like the Answer!  

[sasparilla]

Hi Ladies, I have been watching your thread and I just have to post. I am going insane.    I am 10 DP IUI and 12 DP trigger.  I put up some pics.. and Im freaking out.  I refuse to believe it, until the lines get darker.  And I refuse to POAS again today.  I will have to find something to do for the rest of the day besides act like a completely insane woman.

We are on the same days...I am also 9dpiui!  I have been taking test like crazy and I am getting mixed results.  Thursday is was faintly positive with Answer HPT.  Friday it was negative with FRER.  Saturday it was more faintly positive with Answer HPT.  Then I tested this morning with FRER and first morning urine and it was a BFN.  I know it is too early...but I can't wait!  Now that I am all out of tests I am going to try to wait until Tuesday atleast!  I have my beta done on Friday morning, but I cannot wait that long to know!!!  

Good luck to you and I will be thinking about you!  When do you plan on testing?

[JTDs Mom]

Well, today is 9dpiui and my extremely sore boobs have all but gone away.  I have still been extremely bloated and my boobs seem fuller and maybe more veiny, but I'm not sure.  I have continued to have cramps--they seem to get worse if I'm up walking around alot.  

So, I dont know.  I want to be optimistic, but then I dont want to get my hopes up for anything.  I dont track my cervical position at all, but I even checked that yesterday.  It seems high, but it wasnt really soft or tightly closed.  

Anyway, that's what's going on now.  Anyone else going nuts?

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

I had very sore boobs and extremely swollen ones also after my first IUI...and I have had three months of Novarel...that injection can cause every symptom you mentioned.

I know it is hard, but try not to think about it.  (I know, easier said then done!)  But it does make that 2 ww drag and drag!

Good luck and super sticky BD!

So, I had 3 follies when I triggered last Thursday.  And I'm 5dpiui and 6dptrigger.

How far apart (in time) do the eggs release?  I mean, I think I saw somewhere that implantation is, on average, 6-10 days post-o.  So, if I Od even 1 egg the same day I triggered and it was fertilized, then technically it could have implanted--maybe today at 6 dptrigger?

I just know that my boobs are SORE--not as bad as they were Sunday, but still sore.  And they are HUGE!  I've seriously almost outgrown my bra!

It was about one week after IUI and I felt af type cramping.  I did my Beta on day 12 and had my BFP.

[JTDs Mom]

I know I shouldnt even try to interpret anything I feel as a sign or symptom, since it very well could mean nothing at all.  But, I guess it's the nature of the beast with the dreaded 2ww...why do we have to wait so long!?

The day before my IUI I had 3 follies--19mm, 20mm, and 21mm.  I'm guessing they might have grown a little more in the day before my actual IUI.  I dont know what my lining was on the day of my IUI, but 4 days before I heard my RE say that it was at 7mm, so I'm thinking it was a good thickness as well.

It's just so hard to think that it might not work, when all the pieces are there--good follies, good lining, good spermies, etc.  I guess I'll have to wait and see...

[sarah9010]

sorry i dont know why they blocked my follie size. whooooo big information im giving out
any way they were two at 22.5 and two at 15.2

[BabyBlue07]

Yes, I did have all symtoms like you said and got BFN.  After ovulation, the hormone will give you all those symtoms especially bbs sore.  extremely bbs sore.

Wish you luck this cycle.  I will do IUI this cycle as well.  today is my CD5

[maybebaby29]

See, I can't really say because even before TTC, I would get pregnancy symptoms with AF--boobs, nausea, sore back, etc.

First IUI I really thought I was preggo. Every sign. We did it unmonitored, no trigger, but on clomid. BFN.

2nd time, really no symptoms at all. Then about day 10ish I was kind of tired but a weird tired (I'm usually always tired but this was different). My allergies kicked up. I thought I was coming down with a cold or something. I did test on day 10 for kicks and it was BFN.

Then on day 13 I test because I kept getting AF-like cramps and it was frustrating me. I was utterly shocked when I got a BFP. Right now, the only symptoms I have are the weird tired, on and off cold, AF-like cramps (which the doc is checking tomorrow).

I would say that no one can go by symptoms. Everyone is different and like for me, each IUI was different. Just when I thought my "symptoms" were nothing more than a light cold coming on, that's when I was preggo. So don't read into the symptoms, don't look for them either. I think this will help in sanity and be the best suprise you've ever had when you get that BFP.

Just some thoughts. Trust me, we all look for the signs. I'm still looking for them now just to confirm things are ok.

Good luck.

I had the same symptoms last month and ended with a BFN.  However, I took the suppositories.

[nevaeh222]

I had a lot of these same things when I did my IUIs. I ended up with BFN with all 6.

[JTDs Mom]

Yes, I had a Novarel trigger shot last Thursday morning, so almost a week ago.

I've had trigger shots in the past (5 failed clomid cycles) and never had sore boobs or any of those symptoms!

Also, I forgot to mention that I am NOT taking progesterone suppositories.  I've read some places that say the suppositories can cause symptoms, but I'm not on them.

[torismommy]

I actually just had my first IUI on Sunday so I can't say I know the symptoms, however, did you have a trigger shot or just went off of a positive opk because they say when you get the trigger shot that sometimes it can cause those symptoms.  If you didn't then GL your symptoms sound very promising.
