Hi guys,
I'm 37, first time did my natural IUI with donor at Create clinic. Donor from European spermbank.
After my first IUI, for the two weeks, had weird strange things happen. I'm always cold at night, hands and feet especially, but since then I'm getting a heat wave going through my body, so now, hands and feet have been hot/warm ever since. Weird.
Experienced really bad cramps over the two weeks, even on my time of the month, very rare I get cramps, usually only bad migraines is my only symptom. So that was strange.
Then I suffered with insomnia in that tww. I was automatically getting up at 2am and couldn't sleep till 5am for most nights, just really strange. Felt really bloated all the way through the two weeks.
I was convinced I was pregnant. All these new signs etc. Never had them before.
Well, went in for my blood test after tww and got told later that day, I'm not pregnant, was sooo disappointed lol maybe next month. And two days later, time of the month came. Even that was strange. Usually I get light periods, rarely heavy. But this time round, in two days they were really heavy, I was suffering with lower back pains and cramping, after that, it stopped on third day. Was getting worried.
Now I'm on cycle two of natural IUI. So let's see how that goes.
Clinic was pushing me to go IVF, but nope, wasn't having it yet until I've tried at least 3 IUIs. What are your opinions on that? Sometimes I feel clinic don't like doing IUI or not doing it correctly and so pushing to go IVF as they more experienced in that field. Don't know, just a feeling I get.
Have no known fertility issues. Dr said antral follicle count was right ovary 7 and left ovary 12 on scan.
Quick question, how many hours after testing positive on opk urine strips with LH surge did you have IUI treatment exactly ??
Good luck to everyone
