I always say this month is the worst 2ww. But I really think this is the worst this time Last night I had the WORST heartburn...I mean I slept with a bottle of Tums next to the bed. And today my stomach is in knots. It's like I'm gassy, but not in the normal way. Usually gas would take over my whole stomach, but this time it's like a thin line of pain around my pubic bone. Does that make sense? I thought it was cramps at first until I started passing it. (Luckily my dog is my only witness, and she's worse than I am) I am 6 dpiui, so I think it's a little late for IUI cramps, especially since I've been fine till now. I know gas is not a favorite subject to talk about, but I wonder if this means something? It could also just be stress...got a lot on my plate right now besides the 2ww.

Ladies, I don't know whether to envy you or feel lucky that DH isn't around to fight with I know we'd probably be throwing things at each other if he was here, but man, what I would give to be able to throw my arms around him...

Hi ladies...

I 2nd or 3rd or is it 4th the deal the DH...I miss him when he's not around but the 2nd he walks in ...meeeooowww! He annoys me just by standing there! LOL!

Jess, I'm sure its a bit of both...I think you'd love DH to be there for all the obvious reasons but betcha after 2 days you'd be giving him the eye! These dang meds will do it to you! And this 2ww is no exception.

Not sure if AF symptoms or something else. Having more cramps again today and felt very irritated at my dh this morning. But he was sort of annoying this morning - LOL. Must be something in the air.

Not sure whether to test on July 31 or Aug 1. My RE's nurse said Aug. 1, which is 14 days from my second IUI. But July 31 is 14 days from my first IUI. I don't want to test too prematurely.

Ugg. The 2ww is awful.

Team H,
You should test both days- set your mind at ease!

[TeamH]

Ok, here is a question. My breasts never get sore before AF but that may be b/c I haven't really had a normal period in a long, long time (and I'm on hormones since my IUI). Anyway, they are sore now but on the sides of my breast not on top. Is this a normal symptom for AF? Could it be something else?

[Skittles]

Sore breasts could be an indication of either... I never got sore breasts before taking trigger shots for the last 3 months. Of course I was hoping it was not that for me...but ... I have heard so many ppl say that they had all usual AF symptoms but then they turned out to be pg.

Good luck to you all ... now that my excruciating 2WW is over... I'm kinda envious and wish I were still in it, cause I didn't like my answer at all today!

Oh hon, I'm not innocent, LOL. I can write him a MEAN email when I put my hormones to it. Especially when I haven't heard from him in a while. I usually regret it about 10 minutes later, but there's no way to take it back. He's so awesome for putting up with me

Yesterday I thought I was going to bean DH with a canteloupe. Until I remembered this thread and decided it was just the 2ww and stuff and started laughing - which made DH ask me if I was nuts - which again started the canteloupe tossing.

sigh...

I let him live.

Everyone doing ok in this 2ww?

[Skittles]

LOL, beating DH with a cantalope could potentially be messy... I totally hear you though. I always accuse him for lacking any sort of intelligence, of course this lack only occurs when I am on meds or have pms. How coincidental.

Poor guys...

Crossing my fingers for all of you!

Hey canteloupe is a good choice. It's small enough to be thrown easily, yet when ripe is soft enough not to do permanent damage. Personally, I prefer avacados because they're readily accessible on the kitchen counter, and I also throw like a girl. OMG, now I am going to think about the self defense capability of my produce when I go to the market.

I got sick last night. I have had heartburn SO BAD the past few days, that it finally made me run to the bathroom to get rid of some of the acid. (TMI, calamari is probably the WORST thing to have eaten!) This has never happened in all of my 7 Follistim cycles. I hope it means something good!

Hopefully all this heartburn DOES mean something, especially when you've had 7 cycles and it feels this different. That's a lot to compare to... best of luck to you!!!!

I agree.. gives produce shopping a whole new attitude. People may wonder the state of my sanity when I see tomatoes and start laughing out loud to myself. Splat....

Ok ladies, I need your input.

I know I've read about this a few times on this forum myself but my heart is racing since its now happened to me.

So I just went to pee and when I wiped I saw a faint string/tint of blood. I am 8.5 days post IUI - could that be implantation bleeding? I wiped again and nothing...although I'll check again as the night progresses.

Any thoughts??? My heart is racing praying and hoping its implantation but at the same time, I'm praying/hoping its not something else that may mean bfn!!

AAAAggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Whew...glad I let that out!

[babygood1]

CD17 for me...just hanging in there wondering whats going on in there...I feel things or maybe I'm going nuts. Waiting is just so hard.

[TeamH]

Alisa - Could be implantation bleeding. Hard to say, but it certainly is not a bad sign and probably a good sign.

I am soooo crampy today, and extra exhausted. Breasts are still sore. I did not sleep well last night at all.

Still feeling like AF is coming, except for the lack of immense hunger that I usually have.

I POAS tomorrow morning. Just really nervous about the results.

[babygood1]

Alisa sounds like implantation bleeding! Yahoo!

Strange thing happen to me ...the last IUI I had made me so tired. I also saw some tissue come out when I went pee. Anyone else have this? Maye all the poking around in there did it?
