He everyone-
I'm new to this, I had my first IUI on May 4th, so I am 3 days po and the waiting is killing me. I am scheduled to go to the doctor this Friday to check and see if my hormone levels have gone up. What kind of numbers should I be looking for Friday? Before the IUI I was cramping extremely bad up until the IUI and then once the "fish" started swimming, I started to feel better...crazy right? I was on Clomid for 5 days and then the shot.
I love reading all the posts...it kind of keeps me grounded and relaxed to know there are others going through the same thing.
Baby dust to everyone :)

Yes it does. last Friday I recieved a number of 18, but I did a HPT today and got a  BFN, but also today had a brownish discharge...I know TMI. My period is not late until this Saturday on the 19th. I am testing with the office on Monday. Could there still be some slim hope that I could be pregnant?

HI,
Serum beta HCG levels help in earlier diagnosis of pregnancy. A level of > 2 will give hopes. Gradually the levels rise as the pregnancy advances.
Hope this helps.
