IUI

IUI Process and cost in the UK

I’ve decided to try and start a family on my own at 35 after a long relationship ended.

Has anyone been through IUI in the UK? I have so many questions, how to find the right clinic, a donor, how many cycles, what to expect from hormonal boost and roughly how much it costs in total 😰 Any help would be so appreciated 🙏💙

Hi amelie
I had iui but I had appontment first to discuss options as single mum. I would also recommend having a hycosy before to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked. I luckily fell pregnant after 2 attempts but think it's up to the individual though some clinics will only do a certain amount.

Thank you! I have an initial scan next week to get some answers on my chances. How did you go about choosing a clinic? Did you use a sperm donor if you don’t mind me asking?

Hello, I would really consider your chances for IUI, unfortunately me and my wife were unsuccessful after 4 tries. We were told a 12-15% chance of success with IUI and 45% chance with ivf. I was 35 when we started the process. Fortunately we now have a 7 month old through IVF.
We used european sperm bank to choose a donor.
For IUI you need a vial of sperm per try (about £600 a vial) and then you need to pay for a pregnancy slot (£500) and then postage was about £300.
I would say if you are going to continue with IUI then purchase 3 vials to save on postage. Some clinics have a donor bank attached with them so I would ask your clinic.
Each IUI procedure for us was £800 a go.
I just have spent maybe £300+ prior on tests etc.
I would say go to the GP for any tests that they can do. We had to do a full sti screening so I went via the GP, they could also do a couple of other blood tests as well.
Any other questions, pop me a message 😊
Good luck!

Positive pregnancy test?!

So I have the coil but I am like 5-7 days late on my period. It usually comes pretty much the same time every month.

I did the bottom test yesterday and I forgot about it and came back to that.

I did a second test this morning (top one) and I can see a very faint positive line at the top.

I don’t really know how to take it, is it reliable? What do you all think? I don’t know if I feel ‘pregnant’

I will take another in a couple of days I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts

Ovulation?

Based on my tests, when do we think ovulation would have been most likely? Does it look more like the 17th or 18th (yesterday). I had a lot of egg white/stretchy CM on the 17th but was a lot drier by yesterday.

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks

BBT

I had unprotected sex 2 day before my lh surge (I had a random late ovulation on CD 24). So obviously this wasn’t expected—I took plan B on Monday (54 ish hours after the act and on the day evening of my lh surge). My temp has been steadily rising the past 3 days—does that mean I ovulated or is this a plan B shift?

Also has anyone gotten pregnant 2 days before surge—I think I either ovulated late the night of my surge or very early the next day

What's going on?!?!

So I had spotting last month, Feb 19 to the 22nd and if it was a very light period.. which I've never had but im also breastfeeding. I should be somewhere a round getting my next period because I usually only have 23-27 day cycles. At most I've made it 28 days and by 29, I've missed my period. Today is cycle day 28 with the spotting. I've been taking ovulation tests since then and they have been light except the past few days. And today which I thought I would be getting some kind of bleeding/spotting and I've gotten an lh surge which is throwing me off. And I just tested lh again and its even darker. Would this be ovulation or early pregnancy or just my body being all over the place? I'll put the 1st Pic of ovulation from earlier with this post and post the most recent one which was just now in the comments..I need advice as this is the 1st time I've been able to breastfeed this long with my 2nd daughter.

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?
