Did iui last month and got my positive, so happy. But im confused how to count my weeks now, from which date exactly? Anyone who conceived through iui pls explain.
My doctor explained that since IUI represents the exact day of conception, they calculate the gestational age by subtracting 14 days from the IUI date to get a 'virtual' last period date. So if you are 3 weeks past your IUI, you are officially 5 weeks pregnant.
Having gone through fertility treatments myself, I know how confusing this can be. Just assume your insemination day was your 2-week completion, and calculate from there. Sending you so much love and a big hug!
Looking back, calculating with fertility treatments felt so complex, but it's just IUI day minus 14 days for your clinical LMP. Don't worry, your doctor will confirm everything on your first ultrasound!
Actually, it's very simple, yaar. Treat your IUI date as your ovulation day, which means you are exactly 2 weeks pregnant on that day. Just count how many weeks have passed since then and add 2!
It's basically your IUI date plus two weeks, so count from there. I remember being so confused while throwing up constantly in those early weeks, but tracking it this way kept things clear.
When I got my positive after IUI, I felt so lost about the weeks. My nurse told me to think of the IUI day as the 2-week mark, and suddenly it all made sense and I felt so relieved!
For my pregnancy, my hospital did the calculation by taking my IUI date as 2 weeks. It was easier for me to just use an online IUI calculator to track my weekly progress.
Uff, my brain was too fried to calculate this! Simply put: the day they did the IUI is week 2 day 0. Just add weeks to that, and don't lose sleep over the exact days, you'll need that energy later!
