TW: Successful first IUI

I can’t believe I’m typing this but here we are. Pregnant.

It’s been almost 2 years TTC. Unexplained diagnosis. 34 F/ 33 M

After a couple SHG’s and a few semen analysis we noticed my husbands morphology was low (1%) and lower testosterone and I had a very small indent .64cm making my uterus heart shaped (crazy I never knew!).

My husband started taking Clomid daily 25mg beginning March. He will continue through the first trimester in case of loss.

We were told IUI was a good option for us. I took 100mg of Clomid from cd 2-6. Triggered on day 11 with Ovidrel. 36 hours later was our IUI.

Semen was 10 million with 84% motility post wash.
2 mature follicles (21 & 15) with a 3rd at around 14. Those measurements were 36 hours before IUI.

I started seeing a faint positive on 11 dpiui and I was so upset I didn’t test out my trigger because I was convinced it was my trigger. Then day 12 wasn’t that much darker. 13 was a little darker and today 14 dpiui there was no denying… BFP. but my heart still held back some joy. So I went this morning for a beta.

I got the call a few hours later 161.5!

Testing again on Monday and praying this little nugget wants to stick around.

I want to thank this thread for encouragement. This journey isn’t easy. I have thought about this every day for the past 2 years and I often wondered “why is this happening?” Today feels like a new chapter. Hope.

Praying for everyone else in this thread for that same joy. 🙏❤️
