We've been trying for over a year and the doctor mentioned IUI as an option. Honestly I dont fully understand what it actually involves. Can someone whos done it explain in simple words?
IUI isnt exactly a pregnancy test, it is a fertility treatment where the doctor places sperm directly into the uterus to help conception. I went the IVF route after some attempts, but many start with IUI. After the procedure you wait about two weeks and then do a pregnancy test, that part is the hard wait.
We are looking into fertility options too so I read about this. IUI is a treatment to help you conceive, and after it you wait and test for pregnancy later. Sending good wishes if you are on this journey too.
My understanding from my doctor is IUI is a procedure to assist getting pregnant, not a test itself. The pregnancy test comes about two weeks after the procedure to check if it worked. Your fertility specialist explains the timing clearly.
