I am a mess myself. I haven't felt anything this entire cycle, but after my IUI's in July, September and March, I felt different symptoms... mostly in March when I had the 3 mature follicles. Anyway, I thought maybe because I wasn't feeling anything, that maybe this was it, maybe I was pregnant! I took an at-home test on Tuesday and again on Wednesday, both negative... stark white. Today is 14dpo, and I can feel AF coming on any minute now. I just feel awful... I've been crying on and off for the past two days. It's getting really expensive, and I've been asking for so much time off of work. I think I may take a month off and try once more, since we will qualify for the free vial (pregnancy pledge offered by Fairfax). I'm going to talk to my doctor's office and see what they recommend. I do have some Gonal-f leftover from our cancelled IVF cycle, so I am hoping they will recommend I use that to give us more follies and in turn, more targets. I'll keep checking back for updates from you though
I hope all continues to go well. xoxo
Babies were born 5/5/2016 at 9:34/9:35 and 9:36
Baby A, our girl was 3lbs 10oz
Baby B, first boy was 2lbs 7 oz
Baby C, 2nd boy was 3lbs 15 oz
They are in the NICU for a few weeks to grow and learn to nurse/take a bottle but they are all on room air and are doing FANTASTIC.
Keep on trying and never give up hope ladies.

I'm new to this whole thing, but am loving the support and enthusiasm I'm seeing on this site. Long story short, my fiancé and I are wrapping up nursing school and have decided to go ahead and start trying for a baby now since she will be 30 in March....ok, I know 30 is not old and that's what I keep telling her, but she honestly feels like her maternal clock is counting down with extreme haste lol. We had our first IUI on 8/11/2016 and she was getting all these positive signs that she might be pg (i.e. boobs hurt, acne, cramp that started on her left lower abdomen and the moved to the middle of her pelvic region with a shooting pain through her lady part, hot flashes, nausea, etc.), AF was a day late and we thought maybe she was actually pg and we were just getting a bfn that wasn't real, but then the next day AF came with a vengeance. She was absolutely crushed...I was too and still kind of am, but I Know I have to be strong for her. We were bad and tested early because of all the symptoms she was having, ps we are not on meds, but no luck just bfn after bfn. So, we are now keeping track of her temperature and doing the true blue ovulation test kits every morning, she's supposed to peak sometime in the next 2 days, and then we will be undergoing our 2nd IUI attempt. I'm REALLY hoping this one takes. I love her and all I want is her to be happy. All she's ever wanted is to be a mommy and I'm praying with everything I am that this one is it for us. Any and all encouragement, advice, baby dust, etc etc would be VERY welcome!
