Thanks Deej! Still bloated. The cramps are more like a dull tightness and very mild ache like I have with my period but every now and then I get a sharp twinge. I also feel a bit pukey... if I don't eat frequently I feel shakey like I'm STARVING but if I eat more than a few bits in one sitting I feel like I'm going to yammy.
Worst bit...I got on the scale and I am FIVE pounds heavier!!! I'm sure it's just water weight so I'm trying not to wig out. It can't be fat because I'm actually eatting less this week (minus my celebratory Ben and Jerry's attack right after the IUI)...but one bowl of B&Js can't make you gain 5 whole pounds right??? Last thing I need is to weigh more than I already do and it's too darn early for this to be baby weight. So, I really hope it's just the bloating. Ok, maybe I am wigging out just a tiny bit.
So, I'm pretty sure all of this is related to the Prometrium and/or the experience of having something invade my uterine cavity.
Other than my weight, the only thing I've been worrying about is whether or not I got the timing right. Most of what I read says you should time IUI to fall 6 hours before or after you ovulate. I got my positive OPK around 2pm but it was barely positive (line as dark as control instead of darker than control), then when I tested later that night around 9pm, the line had gotten darker, then the next day it was gone...so accounting for the fact that the LH doesn't show in your urine until about 4 hours after it hits the blood stream, my peak surge was sometime around 5pm, which is when I had the IUI... if it takes 12-24 hours AFTER peak surge to ovulate, then my timing wasn't 6 hours before ovulation unless I O'd really early. Still if the phelpses can live 72 hours, there were probably a few up there that were still hanging on and hadn't decided to just keep swimming out the fallopian tube... but I dunno.
Anyway, these are the crazy thoughts that go through my head.
I don't think I'm obsessing on the TWW or symptoms or anything cuz I figure most of what I feel is drug induced anyway...but I am a little obsessive about the first IUI. LOL!
Nothing new to report today... I'm 4dpiui! Ten more days to go.
