View allI've been on progesterone from day 21 after my IUI, and I'm having belly cramps, so my doc gave me Drotin for the pain. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms yet like discharge or sore breasts. Is this normal? When do pregnancy symptoms usually start? How can I tell if the IUI was successful?
It is normal not to experience pregnancy symptoms immediately after an IUI procedure. Pregnancy symptoms typically start appearing around 4-6 weeks after conception. To know if your IUI was successful, you will need to wait for a missed period and then take a pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it indicates a successful IUI. In the meantime, continue with your progesterone support as prescribed.
