I guess I stay positive just by knowing that it will happen. Maybe not when I expect it but when it is supposed to happen. I go in with the expectation every time that it will happen, if negative thoughts enter my head, I push them away. I know that others test early but I am never tempted to do that.... I like thinking that I am pregnant, and that is exactly what I do for the two week wait. I don't expect the test to come up negative, I visualize a positive test each time I think about it. Yes it hurts each time I see that negative and I grieve for the next couple days, then I remind myself that it will happen. I think it helps that I have to take a month off each time as I get a cyst after each cycle. That way I have a month to focus on other things. I know that my cycle will happen when it is supposed too and I just wait for that date. I also surf this forum and see how after many attempts people get that BFP that they have been waiting for. That warms my heart and encourages me even more. I started out by telling everyone what I was doing and keeping them updated, I don't do that any more. That was too hard and did not help my spirits. I have let others know that I will tell them when I get a positive but thats it. This has taken some of the stress off of me.
It was confirmed on friday that I do indeed have a cyst and it is too large to go on meds, so I take a month off again! It helps that my RE has a great personality and is able to keep things light hearted. I made sure that when I had the ultrasound that I had him and not another doctor! he takes time to talk and helps keep spirits up. I will start injectibles next month. They sent me home with the pen and are checking on the meds. From what I was told my insurance will cover them, I have to pay 20% unless I have met my deductible, which I think I have then I pay even less. I love my job...... Great medical benifits! Not as much pay but it makes it up with the medical coverage. So in the next month I will look for a new donor as the one I was using is no longer available
So stay positive... IT WILL HAPPEN! I'm sending lots of positive thoughts and baby dust your way!

Here's too a BFP this month! I started the injectibles today. I was a little nervous but it wasn't bad. I really hate needles but this one is so thin I hardly felt it! I hope I don't get the mood swings I got on the clomid. God help those around me if it is worse :shock: the mood swings on clomid only lasted two days but it was a wicked two days! I'm going to order the vials tomorrow so they are there in plenty of time. I'm thinking it will probably happen the 25 or 26 but will know more on the 20 when I go in for the blood work and monitoring. Lots of baby dust to you and I can't wait to hear how things are going for you!
Robin
Good luck to everyone.
Robin
we all get through this 2ww differently. the first time I obsessed over everything. the second time I was more relaxed and looked on this site a lot. I tend to just think I am pregnant for the tww. It is kinda fun to think about what life will be like. That doesn't always work for everyone though. I keep telling myself that it will happen when it is supposed to happen! If you look at the first part of this forum you will get more suggestions! Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust too you.
Robin
I'm less obsessed as well. Not even bothering to look at the internet at the early pregnancy symptoms or things of that sort. Staying busy by enjoying hanging out with family and friends, enjoying the wonderful weather, and cleaning a lot. 9 days in and 5 to go.
Robin
I go for follie check and bloodwork on Wednesday. Robin I'm anxious to hear about todays visit! Good luck! My IUI will be sometime during the week of the 4th of july. Depends on how fast or slow the follies grow.
Lots of sticky baby dust! There have been lots of BFPs lately hope its our turn!

Robin, I know this must be frustrating but keep your head up and don't be discouraged. This whole experience has shown me that I have absolutely NO control in what is supposed to happen. Each cycle it has been a constant reminder...I go through this rollercoaster of emotions. It's all trial and error and sheer CHANCE there's no logic to this stuff. That's what I have trouble wrapping my head around. Hopefully, your doctor is good about tweaking the plan based on your response this cycle. I wonder if you need meds that have both FSH and LH? You could ask your doc what the advantages are. Everybody is different so who knows what will work in the end?? I hope that you can get back on track. When do you go back for another check? How big are the follies?
Please keep us posted and try to stay positive.
Moe
Good luc to all of you in your tww! Here's to tons of BFP's
Robin
@robin - i'm sorry....but stay positive! btw, you are a busy "mama"!!!
@jl2011 - you're part of the 3rd IUI club!!! There's so many of us!
ok ladies....good luck to you all! trying to stay positive and hopeful!!! only a week left!!! hoping for BFPs for all of us!
I told him about me being sick and being under a lot od stress in the past 4 weeks. He said of course that could do something but I don't think he thinks that really had anything to do with my levels. He told me that there are some womwn that just respond better to clomid. I'm guessing I would be one of those few. He told me that rather than just guess, let's wait until the blood work comes back. He suggested that next time I use Femara, instead of clomid or the injectibles. He said I may not get the side effects that I did with the clomid. At least the news wasn't horrible. I am going to keep positive thoughts and just remind myself that it will happen when it is supposed too!
By the time of the next appointment I should be close to my visit from AF. hoping it comes and that we will have answers before it does!
Robin
I'm in my 3rd unassisted IUI 2ww. I can test on 6 July although AF is due July 5. Here's hoping for a positive!
I'm going to do one more unassisted IUI (hopefully won't be necs.) then move onto a few rounds of injectibles before IVF.
Moe
I am throwing lots of baby dust your way for a great big BFP this month! Thanks for the good luck. I am thinking that I am just one of those people that does not respond to injectables
Robin
Thank you! It took 3 tries, IUI, 100 mg clomid this cycle (50 mg the first 2 cycles), and then used 2 vials. Was going to do back to back insemination but my doctor wasn't going to be there for that day so took a chance and did both vials at the same time.
