lfisher2 - February 25

LexNJa, I am scheduled to start testing around the 6th. I hate this waiting period as I'm sure everyone else does too lol. I'm trying to stay calm, but I am very nervous. I only have one more month I can do this til my Husband comes home in June. He is currently serving his 2nd tour in Iraq and gave only enough specimen to last me til march... so considering our situation everything has to be timed perfectly. I really hope that your symptoms are a good sign! Goodluck :)

thank you so much CAI and Fisher. Until I foun this blog, I felt like the only one in the universe that isn't doing it the "natural way". I'm sure you all know that it's a pretty lonely spot to be in. I'm hopeful that I missed the part about the ultrasound, and if the doc doesn't mention it, then I definitely will! It wouldn't make sense to not have one to monitor my follicles. I'm supposed to get AF any day now, and it feels like i've been waiting for years! Oh boy, if this is bad, I can't imagine the 2WW

I found this info from a girl who wanted to post her symptoms after iui. First three times didn't work and this time was a keeper!

Day 1-3 = Cramping in the lower abs, feels like something happening, but not sure.

Day 4-5 = Cramping slightly. Having this metal taste in my mourth. Thinking its from my prenatal vitamins that I just started last month.

Day 6-8 = Nothing, nothing, nothing

Day 9-10 = Cramping slightly

Day 11-12 = Tender BB's, but for me, it usually means AF is comming

Day 13-19 = Cramping again. But AF never arrived yet. I am happy about that but worried because I am cramping like every other day. Finally did a beta test on day 19, and got a beta count of 1,279, which set me at ease and very, very excited. Now I'm starting to believe that the cramping has to be my body being under construction, making room for the baby.

One week down, one week to go! Have to go in for a progesterone test this morning...not sure what this is for? Does anyone know what this is for?

hi everyone---went in for IUI #2 today. all went well. i had 10 follicles, 5 on each side but on day 12 two on right were 17 and one on left was 18, so hopefully after a few more days they got bigger! oh and the lining number was 8.4---much better than last time (6.8) Triggered on Sat night and DH had sperm number of 27 today so all is good, I guess. Now I'm in the 2ww with many of you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all and hope to hear about lots of BFP's soon! I beta test on 3/16 so seems like an eternity from now...

cdoc10, Goodluck! I know what you mean... I can start testing on the 6th and this past week has drug by. Hopefully the wait will pay off :)

Hang in there cdoc10. Glad to hear that everything went well and that you had lots of follicles; March will be your month :)

YellowMutt, let's count days.
14 - 8 = 6 days to March 8 :)
It is actually less than a week as you are on your 8th day :) Any symptons?

I have two or three days to go before I test. Will test with 1st urine on March 4 and 5. Hoping for positive results.

CAI: Well here lately I have been so irritable and for the past 2 nights I've felt nauseated like I need to throw up. I know it's too early for morning sickness, so I'm not sure what thats all about. I hope this is a good sign! Not too much longer til you can test...Goodluck!

 

CAI - March 2

Hi fisher2, a few days last week I actually felt like that and like you said it was too early. Today I definitely feel queasy and am afraid to eat lunch :) Hope that it is a good sign for both of us.

 

YellowMutt - March 2

CAI: you crack me up and make me feel so much better! No real symptoms at all, the only thing weird would be Saturday and Sunday I had crazy confusing vivid dreams, but that is most likely my mind on overload thinking of everything. I'm not looking at this as a real symptom as I have pretty vivid and numerous dreams anyway...but these were like exponentially more vivid and crazy. nothing too crazy since then though. other than that, I am just TRYING not to constantly think about it, but I am failing pretty bad at that! haha. hope you are feeling well and lots of babydust to you and everyone else here that are in their 2ww!

 

CAI - March 2

Hi YellowMutt, I can relate to the dreams as Sunday night I had the weirdest dream that one of my cousins had quadruplets... I normally do not remember my dreams but this one was even in colour :) time will tell what the dream meant.

Well, I was supposed to get AF on 2/25, and nothing! Although on the 1st few days I just spot, so when I get it (hopefully soon), I hope it's the real deal! so that I can call the specialist and start the Chlomid. Who knew that I'd ever want to get my AF! CAI, how I'm so excited to hear your results tomorrow! How does anyone sleep the night before?? I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

LexNJa - March 2

Hi girls... Well, to say that I am having symptoms is a huge understatement. I have been extremely nauseated for the past week. Mostly in the evenings and then again when I wake up until I have something to eat. Sunday night I began having painful cramping on the left side and very light pink spotting. Spotted very little on Mon. with cramps throughout the day (both sides). Today there has been little spotting and cramping on my right side. Normally once I spot my symptoms and especially breast soreness goes away immediately. Not this time. They hurt so bad! But I'm not complaining... ;) I'm a fraternal twin and my mother said she too had the same nauseating symptoms and had to keep crackers by her bed for a snack every morning. I've had three miscarriages over the last five years. This feels the closest to how I felt then. I have taken a pregnancy test... A very light second line. I am happy deep inside but know how easily it can be taken away. Going for a blood test on Sat. I've been taking progesterone since 5dpiui.
