why do I have to wait 18 days after IUI before i can test!?!?!

Hi there,

I am new here and this 18 day wait is killing me!
I have been reading lots of post and everybody seems to test after 12 -14 dpo. I had to do my last pregnyl injection on the 23rd May but told I can't test till 2nd June! I know it is only tomorrow but does anyone think it would hurt to test today????

Many Thanks and sending baby dust to you all!

Hi Ladies,
I am new to this board. I am 19 dpo and still have not gotton my period. i had an Ovidril trigger on the 12th and an IUI on the 14th. I have been taking progesterone pills since. Can this delay your period. I took a hpt on 16dpo and today. Both have been BFN.  Thank  you for any help you can give.

Just wanted to say good luck! If you have gone 17 days and you are sure of your O date, you are probably preggo. SSBD coming at you!

Good luck, test in the am, keep us posted!!   the waiting period absolutely SUCKS!!!   Time only flys when we are having fun but in all of our cases we are not having fun waiting for BFP or BFN results, is no fun!  This is why time goes so slowly!!!!     fit4fun

I don't know what pregnyl is but if you haven't had your AF yet and it has been 17 days since IUI, you are probably pg.  

Congrats girl!!

Please what do you mean by AF?
I think AF stands for Aunt Flo or your period.

You can test today w/ an HPT but remember if you get a BFN it's not neccesarily BFN. Your hormone levels may not be high enough yet to show up on a HPT. Also if you were taking HCG you wnat to maek sure it is completly out of your system beofre you test or you can get a false BFP.


Loads of super sicky baby dust to you!!!!
