spotting

So I did my first iui two weeks ago. N I started to get light spotting the two days before I would have normally gotten my period. But sadly it got heavy last night that I had to use a tampon. My husband keeps going online to tell me my symptom are normal n do happen. It kills me before the moments when I forget how said I am n still have hope.
So here's my hope acting up.
It should so crazy n weird. The prenatal vitamin have in the past cause me
Spot so maybe it's them causing mr to bleed unormal.
I have slight cramping. Day n half of lite pink n then mud color discharge day three bleeding today dark to lite but have clots.
Normally I get very bad crapping pain where I'm laid up in pain.
Anyone ever have this happen where it turns our good.

    Just take a HPT!! It's been two weeks so the result should be accurate. And encourage your husband to stop the online googling of symptoms! That never helps and only causes stress.

    I got my period full af! I did talk to my husband about what he online googling was doing to me.
    Thanks

    Thanks

    I'm sorry honey, I know how difficult this can all be. Try to give yourself time to go through the emotions and then get your head back in the game. Just know that a very small percent of women have success on the first couple of tries. We all want to be the lucky ones but have to just keep trying and not give up!

    Be kind to yourself...

    I know how hard it is to have af arrive. I think the first time was the worst.... not that it gets much better but we all think its going to work the first time. Than reality hits when af comes. I agfree with moe, give hyourself time to grieve, then tell yourself that oit will happen you just need to give it time. It takes an average of 4 -6 times to work. It worked in the 4th try for me. I agree stop googling it will only drive you crazy. When it happens you will just feel different, no way to describe it just different and if you get te trigger shots, they mimic pregnancy symptoms. Just another way to mess with your head. So take a deep breath, do something nice for yourself and keep the positivwe thoughts flowing!

    Baby dust!

    Thanks lady's. Moe n Robin do I like doing them back to back gives you a better chances. I mean that that it matter to much causes I can't try it again. And plus not that I'm ready too anyways. I'm strong but I don't feel it today. I do agree I need to regroup n get my head back on the game I handle things much better that way. I know that next few month with me emotionally harder cause my sister in law is going to have a baby in dec. n that hurts for some reason. But that that anyone who know. I hide it will. Do u have micro ivf by you?
  • robinrobin Senior Member Senior Member
    It is hard when someone around you is having a baby. You get angry that it is not you and ask why you are having such a hard time getting pregnant when others make it look so easy.

    I know you are strong, you have to be to even try this. I know you are angry right now and thats ok. Just dont let it consume you.

    I dont know anything about micro ivf sorry. I just did iui's!

    Baby dust,

    That's the worst feeling. It really is.
    I'm getting a little worried that I might loose my mind that I will have to seek counseling. Cause putting weight on my married.

    Hi Familylove,
    Counselling may not be a bad idea just to help you talk though everything you're feeling. It does not mean you're losing your mind.

    In Canada the AHRA requires all women/couples who are using assisted human reproduction to help them build a family talk to a counselor.They recognise that the journey is filled with emotional and relationship stress.My clinic would not start the process until they get a written report from the counselor. I have my appointment this week. I resented it at first, but now I am looking forward to talking through a few of my fears. Your insurance should cover it.

    Please do not let your clinic talk you into Micro IVF. It is a relatively new procedure and does not have the success rate of conventional IVF. They do not harvest as many eggs and the more eggs harvested the higher the chances of the clinic being able to select viable eggs for implantation. Just my two cents. I have not done it.

    Keep us informed.

    Yanla,
    My doc has see a social work once before we can start anything as well. And as far as the micro goes I know it's new but I'm more of less seeing if the success is a little better then iui. I financially can't do ivf. But just looking
    Good luck to you. Baby dust
