Spotting after cancelled IUI

Hello,

My IUI was cancelled last week due to high e2 levels and too many eggs. I have to go for blood on Friday to determine if I o'd on my own.

I just started spotting. What does this mean? Could it be due to ovulation, or is it a sign of hyperstimulation?

I'm totally confused.

That's scarey but I heard some people spot from ovulation. I would call your doctor! Good luck, 'm sure everything is fine, and I'm sorry about the cancelled cycle.....

That's what I thought, too. But my dr. seems to think it might be the beginning of AF. Based on my bloodwork last week, my progesterone was 2, so I o'd on my own. They said I might spot for a few days first and then get AF.

They seemed hopeful that I can start up again right away.

I never wanted an AF so bad!!!!

It's most likely the beginning of AF. Were you told not to have intercourse when the IUI was cancelled? I know I was, but it may be different for you. If you get AF on your own and everything checks out follicle wise afterwards, they should go right ahead with your next cycle.

I went in for bloodwork today to confirm ovulation and they said it is most likely AF. I was given strict instructions not to BD. The nurse said in my case most likely I will have to take the month off because I will probably have cysts. I should be able to start back up again in a month. She did say it all depends on the CD3 blood and sono. Although I'd love for them to clear me to start right away, I am realistically preparing myself that I will probably have to wait, but you never know.

Dr. just called to say that I did not ovulate. I need to go back on Tuesday again for blood and sono and they'll probably give me provera to bring down AF.

I guess this will stall things even more.
