Test Negative After IUI, Missed Periods. What Is Going On ?
I did IUI 16 days a go and did a home pregnancy test yesterday. The result was negative. I supposed to have my periods on June 10 but I missed it. When I did IUI I was prescribed Duphaston (Dydrogestrone). I don't understand what is going on. Should I do another test again to see if I am pregnant. Should I stop taking Duphaston? Did I miss my periods because I am taking these tablets? Please kindly advise.

Hi,
Dydrogesterone is given for multiple reasons, but in the case of infertility it is given as a luteal support. So I highly doubt that it is the reason for not getting pregnant.
Usually IUI is successful in women who are under 35 in the first attempt, the chances are lower for women older than 35. At most you should try three times with IUI.
Another option you could talk to your doctor about is invitro fertilisation (IVF).
I hope this answered your question.
