I didn't realize you were halfway into your tww. I'm thinking positive thoughts for you. Please keep us all posted and I hope the next week flys by! I should be having my next iui on Friday possibly. Cheers to everybody else either waiting for a tww or in a tww. Can't wait to hear lots of bfp with the group in the lucky 5!!
I used 2829. I'm limited in donors since I have to use a CMV Negative donor and I want someone over 6' since I come from a tall family.
Maria, Lateboomer, Charlotte, and Anne72 you are all also in my thoughts! I'm sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers your way. Please check in with us so we can hear about your experiences.
I'm still taking the Endometrium (progesterone suppositories) 100 mg twice a day. Trying to drink plenty of water....to counteract my morning travel mug of Pumpkin Spice coffee....YUMMY!!! Strangely this morning when I took that last gulp of coffee, I had a brief moment of BLAH...YUCK! Then it was gone...I don't drink soda or any sort of diet foods/sweetners so the coffee is my only "THING" which should be kept to under 3 cups per day. I think by the time I add creamer and sugar it doesn't even resemble coffee :roll:
Yesterday, was my first acupuncture session in 9 days. I could tell the difference of skipping my sessions. I've been constipated and on edge. She placed pins on the paths that correspond to digestion and stress (nothing on the abdomen), then she placed the heat lamp over my feet which felt good. I went to sleep. Today, I was easy breezy plus it was FRIDAY and I was thankful that crappy week was behind me! Now my boobies are slightly enlarged and more sore than yesterday.
Well I'm hoping that all is well with everyone during their waits. Good luck and remember to be encouraged ladies
Moe!
This is my first IUI and I am on day 4 of my 2WW. I will say, I think about it but not as much as I thought I would. I pray I get preggo on the first shot.. however, I am aware of the stats of that happening so I just try to stay positive. I can't really say I am feeling anything out of my normal self. I always pee a lot so that was nothing new.. besides some spotting, cramping, and feelings of fullness on the day of the IUI I don't feel any other signs. Besides just two co-workers, my mom, and a close friend I haven't discussed the IUI with many people. I have to take into consideration it's still earlier on in the process so I think about it but then I tend to naturally do other things or just move fwd and before you know it the day has passed and your on to another day. We don't plan to test until Thanksgiving which would make a full 14 days which should be day # 26 of my cycle and I usually start my period on about the 28th day or at the lastest the 30th of my cycle. So the question is do you test at day 14 of your IUI (2ww) or just wait and see if you get your period?
From what I understand most women, get a very light period because of the egg implanation in the uterus and then it stops .. because you are pregnant. So far everything is all well. We are blessed to be able to have a chance to start a family and no matter the outcome we will keep trying until it happens however, we are hopeful that we won't have to go through this process too many times.
Continue to stay positive ladies .. the bundles of joy are coming your way.
Take Care and Blessings!!
Sounds like you have the right attitude going into this. For me my doc asks us to wait 16 days past the trigger shot, so 15 days past iui. I have to admit this lasttime I tested at day 12 past the trigger. Usually I would wait but this last time I just couldn't wait and thatswhen I got my bfp!
Don't focus onwhat is going on with your body cuz it will drivy you crazy each and every time! If you get a trigger shot that mimics a LOT of symptoms
Not everyone gets implantation bleeding.......I didn't and I am now 6 weeks 4 days pregnant
Goodluck and lots of baby dust!
Robin
That is so funny that you have a weakness for the Pumpkin Spice coffee. I am drinking one myself right now!
I did POAS today and it was negative. My official two weeks is up on this Thursday, 11-17. Let us know how yours went today.
Good luck ladies
Moe!
i really hope someone gets a positive soon...I need to feel encouraged or maybe feel hope if I read that someone who has tried 4+ times has gotten the BFP! I'm such at odds with everything and have no idea what I do next...Sorry ladies...
I'm so confused...I just can't afford IVF (I'm a social worker) and really don't know if I can afford another IUI (#5) because it'll end up being another $2300+ since my injectables aren't covered. I just wish I knew I'd get pregnant, then I'd pay for it...just got so devastated this time with the BFN...I'm still devastated and crying off and on...
I am so sorry. If you need to talk I am here. I know how disappointing it can be.
Again, I am sorry for your disappointment but I really think you should switch donors to one with more pregnancies reported...maybe go with one a little cheaper??? I have no idea how much yours was but I went with one a little cheaper this time. Every little bit helps!
Bweaver,
Don't think that way! You have to be positive! For a while there I wouldn't allow myself to imagine I was pregnant or imagine it worked because I was afraid of being let down. I just didn't want to be disappointed even more if it didn't work. Well...here I am mid way through my 5th tww. I am being positive this time. I trust that this is eventually gonna work out and I am putting all my faith in God this time. He knows the desires of my heart and he knows I desire to be a mom and he is going to make that happen for me!
Good luck to all ladies! Maria, let me know if you need anything girl! I'm here if you need to talk.
Good luck Amirasmommy!
Thank you Bweaver. I'm so sorry about this cycle...great attitude! Good luck!
Thank you Jl2011!!! You are awesome! You are such great support. Thank you! Please keep us posted on your hopefully BFP!!!!!
Sweetpea, you are so cute...it would be nice!
Becky
A lot of us go back and forth between the forums here! Its all about supporting each other and sharing positive thoughts and info with each other. Feel free to post here again! The tww is the same for everyone, exciting and scary all at the same time.
Sending lots of baby dust to you all

I have to be honest though..i dont look at what forum a post is on. i respond if i feel connected to it. The TWO WEEK WAIT is something we all unfortunate can relate to.
I have a history of an Ectopic Pregnancy and now a blocked Right tube. Last month, my lead follicle was from my Right ovary and they had me skip insemination then so as to not increase my chances of another Ectopic. I have to go in on Sunday for US to look at follicles and am sure that I am in the same boat again with lead follicle being on the Right side. I always get uncomfortable and can feel my oh so swollen ovaries-but primarily when it is on the Left side so I am sure they will want me to skip again. That will be the 2nd month not trying and taking medications.
I am considering asking them to go ahead with the insemination, even if the lead follicles is on the Right side. Does anyone have experience with this, what would you do?
Thanks!
Thank you for your support! It is hard feeling alone in this....
A good weekend to all!

What day are you on 3 rIght? I had two iuis this month. One on Thursday and one on Friday. So I am right behind you. If you need to talk at all I am here, we can be tww buddies!! The first iui is the hardest but you honestly need to breathe and just try not to think about it all the time. I am excited that my tww falls around thanksgiving because the time should pass faster. Try to go about your everyday life or this tww will be miserable. Good luck and lots of baby dust.
I am nearing the end of my 2ww and I am so far beyond frustrated. I tested Sunday morning which was day 27....IUI was on day 16 so I tested a good 11 days after the IUI. It was negative.
Yesterday (the day I tested)...I tested because I woke up at 6:30 with menstrual cramps. I never started. Today I woke up early with menstrual cramps...stayed home depressed. Boobs sore. Never started. In the past I have started ON day 28. Tomorrow is day 29. I feel like I am being teased. I know I am not pregnant. The test would have been positive right?
I am just so discouraged and I feel like I am done. No more for me...put a fork in me. 5 times? This is crazy...
5 iuis sounds lie a lot but as somebody on their 8th I know it can happen. I would hate to see you give up so soon when the average number of try's is 6 to get a bfp!! Please try to get back to yourself. I am here for you as always!!!
