Unsuccessful first IUI

Hi there! I had my first IUI on July 16th and tested negative on a pregnancy blood test on July 30th......Needless to say I am still very depressed and frustrated. My doc had put me on duphaston after IUI for 14 days which i stopped taking after the negative pregnancy test. Im waiting for my periods to start but all im having is this dark brown almost blackish discharge for the last 2 n a half days. As per my usual cycle my periods should have started on Aug 1. So is this happening because I was taking Duphaston? How long will it take for my normal periods to start?
Thanks

I had my first IUI after unsuccessful Clomid+Ovidrel+Timed intercourse... this is day 10 post IUI and my home pregnancy test showed a BFN. Ugh, I am so emotionally exhausted!!! RIght now I don't even have any symptomps for me to believe that this BFN could somehow be wrong so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. BTW, I did the HSG test prior to IUI and the doc said my tubes are fine. So why in the world am I not getting prenant?!?!?! I'm 33 and my hunband is 29! I'm so frustrated, I want to SCREAM! :(

Oh I know exactly what u r going thru!! We've been trying for a year n a half, apparently nothing wrong with me or hubby but I've never conceived even once :( I also had the HSG which was clear. At times I almost wish there WAS something wrong so that I know what im dealing with.....this "unexplained infertility" thing is hard to accept!

I was soooo hopeful that the IUI would work :(.......anyhow my periods started properly last evening so i guess we're back to square one!

Btw how many IUIs should one have before moving on to other options?

I am pregnant again after my 6th IUI.  (I did get pregnant on an earlier IUI, but lost it).

Just saw a heartbeat yesterday.  Hoping this one will be fine.

Don't give up too easily.  I have read try 3 IUI before moving onto something else.

Best wishes

Hey that's great news! Congratulations :) I pray that you carry it through this time! It certainly is very encouraging.....I almost gave up after the first try but now going for the 2nd one.

All the best to you!

Let me tell you, my hubby and I tried for 11 years. We got pregnant on our second IUI cycle.... I am now 11 weeks pregnant. So do not give up!!

Best wishes and baby dust to you

I got pregnant with my 3 year old on my 4th IUI, and on my 3rd IUI with my 6 month old.  Good luck!

Thanks ladies! I guess keeping the hopes up after such disappointments is the hardest part but reading abt your experiencing really helped a lot!!
