did I say "patiently"? HA! I'm going nuts! I keep thinking I have symptoms, but it's way too early for symptoms, and this Prometrium is icky - it makes me have symptoms, and I don't like it. Okay, whew - I'm done venting now :-) You know it's bad when your responding to yourself...hehehe :-)

HI Celestia, I am taking my bloodwork (for my preg test) this Friday Sept 22nd and was pretty busy with my friends last week so I wasn't thinking about it much. Now that it is over - I am going insane. I can't stay focused at work. I had some spotting last week and my nipples are hurting (I think this is from the progesterone suppositories - happened last month). The spotting lasted for 2-4 days. I just want an answer now!!! Just an FYI... I am was taking 100 mg clomid and this was my 2nd iui.

Hi DCL! I hope things work out for you! It sounds like with the spotting, that could be a good sign :-) I'm getting nipple soreness too, but only when I have my bra on. Weird :-\ It must be the Prometrium though, cause I'm only 5dpo, and that's probably too early for symptoms. I took 50 mg Clomid on days 5-9 and this was my 3rd IUI.

Is anyone going as crazy as I am - I'm only 6 dpo - it's taking FOREVER!!!!

Pardon my whining...I'll stop now :-)

Hi there I'm 6dpo and waiting as well. the last 5 cycles I've gotten BFN's so I'm trying not to thi nk about it. I am ttc#4. My first 3 happened the first try and I'm starting to stress about this one. I think its my age, I'm 37. I am using OPK's and taking materna. Good luck, I'll wait with you.

Hi lovemy3! I'm glad to have someone to wait with :-) What is materna? I'm ttc #1 and I'm 29. My DH is fixed, so I'm using donor sperm. I hope this is the cycle for both of us!

Hi there, materna is just a prenatal vitamin. How long have yoiu been trying for? Do you have any other kids?

I also had an IUI last Sep14 (Clomid 100). My temps said I ovulated on Sep 15, so I am 6dpo today...I am also having weird dreams about ectopic pregnancies and it is freaking me out! The night before I had a dream bugs were in my bed. I have no symptoms yet, no boobs hurting-nada and it is so annoying. I am just so irritated and impatient right now. Also, these progesterone suppositories are the worst, all the "dripping" and no-sex. If I could at least be with my DH during this time, the wait wouldn't be so bad!

Hi there, I have never had any symptoms before missing my af, so for me I never look for symptoms because I've never had any till about 6 or 7 weeks. With my 3 I have actually always felt like I'm about to get my af at any minute and then it just never arrives. I do get all the same symptoms as when I get it. For me, I just have to wait it out. I am planning to test on sept 29th. Good luck.

Welcome, linds99! Sounds like you're a day behind me. Do you know how many eggs you had before you ovulated? I keep thinking I'm getting symptoms, but it could just be the Prometrium, or I might just be nuts LOL I've been having strange dreams too. I wonder if they all mean anything? I dreamt of a river and it was raining, and the river was slowly turning black, along with the sky. Weird :-\ lovemy3 - did you have any nausea during your other pregnancies? what other symptoms did you have after af was supposed to appear?

Hi there, I did have nausea with each starting at 6 weeks till birth. Vomitting during the day, but worse at night. I slept with a string of lemons around my neck and kept taking a wiff of them whole time I tried to sleep-lol. As far as before my af never showed I had regular af symptoms. Moodiness, headache, cramps etc. Each time I was 100% sure my af was about to start each time. then on its expected date, the symptoms stopped. Also, I have a 30 day cycle and ov on day 18-19 and I never have tested positve with a home urine test before day 35, it just doesn't show with me. I think with me this time around it is age related. I am 37 and have noticed quite a few things pointing towards entering into the perimeno stage, like shorter scant periods, hair thinning, flashes. i'm really not sure if i will be able to get pregnant this final time. I am praying i do because we really, really want to but who knows. My youngest just turned 3. I feel like my clock is really running out and its a race against time. we tried in nov, dec and jan. the n stopped and resumed trying last month and now am on cd 24. so thats the scoop here. ttyl. XOXO

Sorry, missed your last question... after af was suppose to appear, nausea set in around 6 weeks. never really noticed a differnce in breasts until well into pregnancy. i remember being worried that i didn't. I had a lot of cramping eacrly on and kept thinking my af was going to start right up until about 10 weeks. With my first i didn't show until 20 weeks almost and with my third it was 10- i remember that for sure! lol headaches were always a big thing witgh me too. Hormone headaches i called them. I'm feeling like i will be pretty sad if I don't get pregnant, very grateful for my three but I am really hoping and praying. this will be definately our last baby if we are blessed again,

Hi Celestia, now that you mentioned your water dream, two nights ago I also had a dream I was in FL beach and the water was clear, it was kinda dusk and I felt myself getting swept up by the current to the ocean, but I was quickly brought back to shore. I read that if you dream of water it is a good sign, but murky water means illness or dissapointment. Anyway, I had two (21.5 and 21.5) eggs mature on my right ovary this cycle. I hope at least one gets fertilized. I've been trying to get pregnant for about 1-year now. How maby did you have mature this cycle?

Hi girls! Hope your day is going well. My day is better than it was yesterday - not as moody. Lovemy3, thank you for sharing your symptoms. I guess the only way to tell is for time to pass...I wish it would pass faster though! Linds - that's interesting, I had 2 eggs on my right side too. None on my left. She said they were 2.25 and 2.23, I'm guessing she measures them differently than your doc does, cause she said they were perfect size for ovulation and they were right next to each other, so she said I may get twins if I conceive this cycle. Hopefully my murky water dream doesn't mean disappointment, but I guess we'll see!

22.5 and 22.3 mm is how I would interpret your egg sizes. And I agree, those are good ones! They grow about 2 mm per day on an average cycle. I hope yours popped! I'm just hoping for at least one to pop for me. I so badly want this, going on one year next month of this TTC crap and it certainly is not for the weak minded. I'm not getting my hopes up too much because I had 4 eggs in my July cycle that were above 20 when I got the trigger shot and one popped, but I still didn't get pregnant. I just hope that since there are less eggs this cycle, maybe it will be better for the LH to stimulate one instead of 4! Gosh, I hope this cycle is our lucky one!!!
