critical times to have sex after the IUI to max my chances! Posted: 09-23-07 09:59am
Hi, Well, here I am searching for
infertility forums to feed my brain. I
honestly did not think I would be on here
so soon. I just had my first IUI Sept
13th. I have already tested myself twice,
both negative. It has been 10 days. Is
this too soon to test? Is it possible that
these are false negatives? The nurse told
me not to test due to fact the
progesterone gel would trick the test
reading false positive.
Also, Should my husband & I have been
having sex every other day since the IUI?
I feel I messed up by not having
intercourse after I started the
progesterone gel. That was last Sunday
the 16th. I am very confused, how can I
maximize my chances? I need someone to
tell me the critical times to have sex
after the IUI.
Please help. Lisa

10 days is still kinda early. I don't
think it's the progesterone gel that would
give you a false positive...I've read and
been told by my doctor that it's the HCG
trigger that would do that. I've also
read it's out of your system 10-12 days
after. It's out if you've gotten 2
negatives already. I believe that the
pregesterone gel will keep you from
getting a period though. As far as
maximizing your chances--I've heard you
should be having sex BEFORE more so than
after the iui. Have researched that the
key is having the sperm "waiting" for the
egg. Good luck!

Well, I'm definitely not pregnant. My
ovaries have alot of cysts on them so I
was instructed to get on BC & wait
until they dissappear befoer we can do
another cycle. Thank you for your help!

How disapointing. Im sorry that you have
to get on BC. That just sucks. I hope
that the cysts go away soon and you get
your bfp soon.
