Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The bleeding may be due to the cervix which is some times held with an instrument during IUI.
It may not be bleeding from the uterus. besides bleeding is not indicating anything.
Please continue your progesterone medication that were prescribed to you.
You can check for pregnancy two weeks from IUI by doing a blood test serum beta hcg. If levels are positive then you are pregnant.
