soontobemomma!!! Looks like you'll be testing soon. Are you going to POAS or are you going to wait for your beta. I have a worse time with the first week of the dreaded 2ww, it always seems the second week is much shorter. I hope there are lots of for everyone and that doesn't rear her ugly head. I am only 4dpiui but it gives me something to look forward too knowing there are others that will be testing soon and getting their . We've been trying for so long and this is my 4th cycle of iui so I'm an old pro at the 2ww. I should have stock in the pregnancy tests.

I am 5dpiui, and I really don't feel anything. I know it is too early, but I wish there was some sort of sign that could alert you to the fact that maybe the iui worked. I keep hoping that my (.)(.) will get sore, but they are not. I have cramping almost like I am going to get AF, but I think that is from the progresterone since it is too soon for AF to come. Anyone have the same symptom on progesterone???

This was my first IUI, so we shall see. POAS July 31. My RE did not schedule any come back dates for blood work, so I guess I won't have any tests unless I get a BFP.

I have to tell you that I am getting a bit crabby. The progesterone suppositories are not fun. Let's just say that what goes up, must come down (TMI).

Trying to stay positive.

Ok, so I am either 7dpiui from my first IUI or 6 dpiui from my second IUI.

I had the most bizarre cramps last night. I can't even explain them. Almost like a tightening in my lower pelvic area, but concentrated in one spot. It really is so hard to explain. I know I am being super sensitive about these types of things, but I have never experienced something like this before. I guess it could just be stomach issues too. Oh well, I wish that there was some definitive sign that you are pregnant like your tongue turns color or something. Wouldn't that be so less stressful.

[Spaitts]

TeamH, I think we might have known each other in a different life or something! I had the exact same weird cramping last night - I was trying to explain to DH that it felt like my lower pelvic area was too tight somehow, like someone pulling a lot of strings attached to my insides, and that it wasn't like regular cramping, but he wasn't really getting it, heck I don't really understand it. Mine was predominantly on the right side which is the side I've been having most of the twinges I've felt since my IUI.

I doubt implantation can be felt, and I've had no bleeding or spotting either, but I'm now 10dpiui, so I suppose it's in the window of when it would happen. Or maybe it's just AF gearing up for her visit....I'm about to lose it, ladies, these last days are just pure agony.

LOL. My husband just looked at me with this blank look on his face b/c he couldn't understand what I was trying to convey to him. Heck, I don't really know myself.

I don't know if implantation can be felt, but I think I would be too early for that to happen for me. You on the other hand would be right around the time.

I keep on feeling my (.)(.) to see if they are sore, but they are not. Only my nipples are sore, but that has been the case since I O'd and started progesterone. For some reason I feel like if my (.)(.) are sore then it will be a positive sign since they are never tender when I get AF.

Gosh, the 2ww is really hard. I can't wait to hear positive news from you. You POAS 7/28, wow that is coming up.

P.S. I realized our profiles are so similar - maybe we did know each other in a different life. I am 34, will be 35 next month so I rounded up my age, and both our husband's have low morphology, although my dh is 39.

Hey Everyone:
I am not as impatient with this 2ww as usual, only because we are in the middle of an int'l move.

The only thing that I feel is a mild, mild cramping that feels like AF coming on. I have felt this since about 4dpiui. I also had pretty strong cramps when I ovulated, which I have not had before. However, from previous experiences, I know that symptoms this early on are pretty sketchy.

FOR BFPS FOR US ALL....

[TeamH]

Can't wait to hear good news from Charity, Spaitts and Marilyn. Only a few days til they are finished with their 2ww. Here is blowing baby dust and positive sticky vibes your way.

I am 7 or 8 dpiui, depending on whether you count from the first IUI or the second. Surprise, surprise, I am having more cramping today and just a general aching in my pelvic area. Other than that, no new symptoms except some constipation (tmi). I think it must be the progesterone. I have to say I really am not a big fan of the suppositories, but if this is what I have to do then so be it.

My best friend had a baby boy on Wednesday. Get this, she does not have a regular period or O regularly, but thought that maybe she would be fertile around the same time that she conceived her first son. And bam, she miraculously got pregnant again w/the same due date as her first son and with no medical intervention both times. Super happy for her, but what are the odds. I hope I have similar good luck.

I'm getting so nervous about testing on Monday, it's not even funny. No more strange cramping for me or any other symptoms, and still no spotting which I usually get 3-4 days (sometimes more) before AF, so maybe that's a good sign? I can barely stand going to pee in case I see the dreaded brown stuff....LOL! TMI!

I'm really scared of getting my hopes up, but want to stay positive at the same time....arghhh, I'm going nuts! This is pure agony...

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Thought I saw the brown stuff too, but it was just a discoloration in the bottom of the toilet (LOL). I'll be pulling for you and everyone else. Let us know the results.

[sammylena]

Looks like tomorrow are our first testers in this thread!!! Good luck everyone and let us know your results.

[marilynn]

Hey, I did an HPT today with a big fat zero. I should have had a positive by now. Looks like I am out.

Good luck to Spaitts and Charity

[Spaitts]

Sorry to hear that, Marilynn :-( I'm barely holding it together, waiting to test first thing tomorrow morning. I got my HPTs this afternoon, and it's absolutely KILLING me that they are now in the house. DH doesn't want me to test until tomorrow; he claims it's important to maintain personal discipline - ha, I laughed so hard when he said that! ;-) If I knew I were getting a positive, I would so test right this minute.

On the positive side, I haven't yet had any spotting, so I guess there's still hope. No real symptoms either, except I feel like I have to pee constantly, but I don't cuz I'm scared I'll see the much dreaded brown stuff. Oh well, in 12 hours I should know either way, and I'll let you guys know. I'm trying to tell myself that the odds are low, but I know I'm gonna be crushed if it's a negative.

How are you all holding up? for everyone!

[TeamH]

So sorry Marilynn. I can only imagine how disappointed you must feel. Sending a big hug your way.

Best of luck to everyone else testing this week. It would be wonderful to hear some positive news.
