I did an IUI on February 15th, and my last period started on February 1st. I havent gotten my period yet, and the pregnancy test is negative. Im getting period-like cramps on and off, which is confusing because I'm usually pretty regular. Could you help me understand what's going on?
It is possible that the delay in your period and the presence of cramping could be due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in diet or exercise, or even the aftermath of the IUI procedure. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone to help induce a period if deemed appropriate by your doctor.
