I am a lurker here due to a friend but I have had many IUIs.

these boards are great for support and answers to questions, and some of the people you meet here become good friends.

I will share my experiences, in 04 after giving up on finding Mr Right, I decided to try the donor route for a child, on my second IUI I got pregnant but miscarried at 8wks and had to have a D&C. I was devestated and it took me a year to metally recover but I went ahead and tried again in 05 and 06 without success and it hurt but I decided to try again this year. This time I was using injectiables and not just clomid like I did on all previous trys and on the 3 attempt last year I got pregnant. I didnt think that the try in July that worked because I stressed out at work, the day of my IUI I had to wait over an hour with my donor sperm sitting there for that 1 1/2, I though there was no way the little guys would make it, and I didnt have a great count of little guys, so I just gave up , decided not to even stress over POAS or testing and ordered more meds to try 1 more time. I still have the meds. Also I just turned 38 and my son is now 3 weeks old

SO my best suggestion and this is my opinions too is to listen to your RE, do not stress over anything thing involving the IUI and dont POAS till the day your AF is really due. The POAS thing is easier said than done but if you stress over all the possible signs and test early you can wear yourself down and that wont help you body when TTC.

Good luck and hang in there.
