Round 4

HEllo everyone....
Well I just had my first IUI on Injectables. RE saw 5 follies, however, only three appear big enough to be viable. So...as I enter the dreaded 2WW I am trying to stay positive, but I am also so afraid of the BFN. I can so relate with everyone here. I hope this is the last 2ww I have to go through. If not, I will do it again of course, but still hoping. DH never understand how in tune I get with my body, wondering what each feeling means, and seeing if it is different then last month. Oh well...on with the 2ww.

Stacey, three viable follicles is wonderful, especially for your first IUI. I only had one follicle on my first IUI. You only need one after all. So keep the positive attitude going, expect the best! I too am really in tune with my body and so every twinge or sensation I felt I wondered about, honestly it drove me batty! But in the end it's also helped me out many times. Here's to hoping this is your last two week wait and that it goes quickly.

Jen, Thanks for you words of support. This is actually my third IUI, but first one on injectables. The first three was on Clomid. We will see what happens, I will stay positive. Think it is too soon to test...lol....just kidding

3 viable follicles is awesome!! I only had one follicle on each side when I got pregnant, on our 4th cycle of injectibles and IUI's!! Best of luck to you and DH! Your BFP will come soon if not this time around!

I too was on inject. The 1st month I didn't respond at all and this past month I had 2 mature follies and I just got my yesterday!!

With this cycle, I decided to just go with the flow and do whatever I wanted. I actually had really bad cramping last Wed. and spotted bright red blood thinking was here. But the bleeding stopped obviously and I'm prego.

Honestly at this point, I don't feel anything different at all and hadn't even during my 3ww!

for your !!!!

Stacy I've got my fingers crossed for you. I go tommorrow to find out when we are going to do my 3rd IUI on Injectables. Hopefully for me 3rd time is the charm.

Definitely too soon to test, ask me again in 10 days! I was never on injectibles so I'll be honest and say it's foreign waters for me. But I've heard great things. Let's hope you can add to that list with a BFP soon!

I really hope this is your month! I only had one follie and managed to get a BFP a couple of weeks ago. You've got three times the chance that I had! Try to stay busy and keep your mind occupied during this dreaded 2ww. We're cheering you on!!

I've only had one mature follie with each of my IUIs (even on injectables) so I think 3 is awesome. I hope this is your month! Good luck!!!

Thanks everyone. I needed to hear what you all had to say. Here is praying that these 2 weeks go by fast. Such a same that we wish life to move fast. Most of the time we want to slow it down.
