Hi, I recently underwent IUI and I'm very anxious. I've heard about molar pregnancies and I'm wondering if IUI increases the risk of it happening. Please share if you know anything about this.
I just had a successful IUI delivery recently and had the same doubts initially. My doctor explained that IUI just helps the sperm reach the egg, it doesn't increase the risk of a molar pregnancy at all.
Having gone through a loss before, I know how terrifying these medical terms sound. Molar pregnancy is extremely rare and IUI itself doesn't cause it, but please talk to your doctor to get full reassurance.
While I was staying with my parents, I was so worried about every small procedure. Molar pregnancy is just a rare genetic accident and doesn't happen because of IUI, so please keep your mind at ease.
I don't know the medical details, but I conceived via IUI and had a completely normal pregnancy. It's best to discuss your fears with your fertility specialist to feel confident.
Actually, molar pregnancy is a genetic fertilization error and isn't caused by the IUI procedure itself. It's just a random thing that can happen in any conception, so don't worry about IUI causing it.
