Failed IUI

[Chapol123]

I am 12dpIUI but I made the mistake of testing early on days 9&10 post trigger Injection and got positive tests. I was convinced from reading other people’s posts that the trigger would have been out of my body by then. I got so excited and told my mum (I’m doing this on my own using donor sperm) who was full of happiness. The next morning I tested again and it was negative. I had to tell my family that I got it wrong. I have been heartbroken ever since. I’m officially not meant to test for another 3 days but I can feel my body wanting to start my period but I’m on progesterone so I know that is stopping it.
I’ve had all the symptoms, nausea, exhaustion, food aversions but I also know the progesterone can cause these too. It’s cruel that the progesterone mimics pregnancy symptoms!

I know chances of a first round of IUI being successful are really slim but everything felt so positive up until this point.
Im also self funding all the treatment alone so I feel the weight of that.

has anyone got any positive stories to help me though this heartbreak?

Im so sorry you were steered down the wrong path of a false positive. We are told to wait to test because of these things happening and it just makes us feel like shit. I also did that on one of my rounds. I tested too early and got the trigger shot and then later on ended up having a chemical so my test was positive from trigger but never got darker and then went negative and my bloods came back at 14 so the test didnt even pick up on that amount of hcg. It was devastating as like you got my hopes up. The best thing I found for me to do was, have my cry, have a day to feel bad, then dust myself off and plan next steps.
