Hi Marisa - I feel the same. The anxiety is killing me and the thought of going through this all over again next month if AF comes is doubly troubling! Don't know what to think.

On another note, does anyone know of a similar chat site like this for dh?

Marisa - May 17th, 2005 2:05 PM

Vani-I did a double dose of Bravelle with IUI this cycle. Lots of sticky babydust to you!!!!
Loren-I'm sorry, I don't know any sites for dh. I'm so relieved that I am not the only one out there feeling this way.

I had my first IUI on 5/12 and I experienced severe cramping that evening. It honestly felt like labor pains from when I had my son. I called my doctor and he told me that I needed to take 3 Advils and if it did not go away to go to the ER. The Advil worked, but I still have had mild cramping. I have been tired, but that might just all be in my head. Did anyone have severe cramping?

Hi,
I got my first IUI on 5/7. I was extremely tired that day and the following day, and then felt better after that, but after the follow-up HcG injections, I felt cramp, tired, restless, breast pain, etc. etc... The Doctor's assistant told me that those symptoms are better than nothing, but not to put too much meaning to it. I am getting the blood test next Tuesday, which would be 16th day from the IUI. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting for the results!!! Lots of good baby thoughts going your way.

Karee - Did you notice any temperature changes when you thought AF was coming? I had a 2 degree drop this AM (9dpIUI) and have been having pre-AF-like symptoms.

Anyone know if this is a sign AF is on her way?

Thanks and strong, positive baby vibes to all!

Karee, what were your dh sperm #?

Ashley - May 18th, 2005 2:21 PM

Macaron- How exciting for you! Are you going to take a test at home? My doctor told me I could take a test the day I missed my period. Are you anxious at all? The wait is driving me crazy. I am curious to know how many mature follicles you had? I have heard of women just having one and getting pregnanct and others having four and not getting pregnant? I hope this works for you! I just had a friend who conceived her second child through IUI! It was her second IUI cycle. Her first child took 4 cycles of IUI. Keep us posted on your test. My prayers are with all of you!

Loren - May 18th, 2005 7:35 PM

Oops, I meant point 2 (0.2) degree drop.

Guess I need to start proof-reading b4 I hit submit. LOL

I am so glad to find this website. I had my first IUI on May 12th and I am in the 2 ww and it is absolutely killing me. It seems everywhere I look I see pg women and babies!!! Grrr!! We have been trying to 3 years and have run into a lot of obstacles. We did not use any drugs, we wan't to try as natural as possible. The only problem I have had is fibroids that had to be removed. Now, day 7 after IUI, I have had cramping in my pelvis for 4 days now. Like everyone, I am hoping it means something, but scared that it really doesn't!! Good Luck to all!! I will say a baby prayer tonight.

marisa - May 18th, 2005 9:30 PM

Aprilsmile-you and me are only a day apart. I had my IUI on 5/11. I've been trying for almost 2 years now. This 2ww is torture so believe me I know how you feel. I keep saying the same thing about all the little pings and pangs in my body as well. Keep posting...I wish you the best of luck!!


Sue - May 18th, 2005 10:17 PM

Had my IUI on 05/18/05.( have PCOS)Felt very tired and had dull cramping.This is my first attempt at IUI. Hope it is successful. Wishing everyone here lots of baby dust.

macaron - May 19th, 2005 12:37 AM

Ashley and all,

Hi,your post made me smile (which is the first smile I had today....) . I am usually very happy, not much mood-swing, but starting yesterday, I have been in this very negative mode. I am suspecting it is the usual PMS as my period is coming near...but hope not. To know that someone like you have the same experience, almost coinciding in time, and looking at you being very positive and all is very very encouraging! Thanks!

I had three mature follicles according to the last ultrasound, which was done two days before the IUI. The size weren't very big, they were between 16mm and 17mm. I guess if the Doctor said it is very good, the size must be OK. I wonder if my body size (which is quite small) affect my egg size (I am probably talking silly.)

Yes, I am very anxious, but I am too afraid to take the test at home! People say we might get a misleading result as the injection (HcG)might be still in the body system. My doctor said I can come in on Monday to do a blood test if I like, or wait longer to see if my period is not coming at all. (But how long should I wait for non-period?) It is like a human lotterly. When you get it, you get it, but until you do, you just wonder and wonder.

Hope your 2nd week is going to be an easy one! Believe in the ability of reproducing a baby (after all, it is a natural thing for an animal to do) with lots of scientific help, and our prayers!!! Lots of baby dust to you!

Hi all, first timer. Did IUI on 6/5 (singapore time). tomorrow will be 14 days after IUI. Really excited. Now experiencing cramps and increased discharged. hope for af. Should i take a test tomorrow.


sarah - May 19th, 2005 5:25 AM

sorry, should be hope "not" af. typed too fast

Ashley - May 19th, 2005 9:31 AM

Macaron-My friend who just got pregnant from IUI took her test on day 26 of her cycle and tested postive. She took one the day before and it was negative. I guess having a negative test first is a good sign that the drugs are out of your system. I would just do whatever makes you feel at peace. I am going to test on the day of my missed period because I am leaving for a wedding in Florida that same day. I will not be able to take a blood test until the week after. Are you taking progesterone? I am wondering if that makes your cycle longer? Oh and I was so irritable yesterday as well. I was like that a couple of days of the fertility shots. I am 30 and I have a high FSH and endometriosis so I have a couple of things against me, but my RE was really surprised that I responded to drugs. Has your doctor been able to identify why you have had trouble conceiving? I hope you have a better day today! I have a busy day so I am hoping that will keep my mind off of everything.
