Tippy I am having slight cramping today as well. I also feel yucky...like I am coming down with something. I really hope I'm not getting sick...maybe it's just allergies, but I have a headache, am exhausted, and have a sore throat. Icky!

[angsea]

Well my 2ww is just about half over and I'm starting to feel anxious. I was going to wait until my blood test but I don't know if I can stand it! I'm thinking maybe I'll test at 12dpiui.

I get my progesterone checked tomorrow to make sure I ovulated. Wish me luck!

[AllDeliveriesNoBaby]

Hello ladies! Lots of stuff going on here. I just thought I would stop in and say hello. Don't forget that you should all STEP AWAY from the pee sticks!! Also, we are all PUPO!!!!

I am now 5dpiui, and feel just fine. I have succeeded in not overanalyzing every detail of the 2ww this time around. Part of that is being around these forums a little less. Not that I don't miss you ladies, and all of the talk, but I seriously went too far last month.

I found out last night my mom is in the hospital. Of course I live about 12h away. I offered to come, but she said not to at this time. I just hope she is okay.

I leave for CA Thursday morning, so that is good. I have a conference and then vacation! I will be in Disneyland when it is time to test, so I will test on July 2nd. If it is BFN the office told me to continue to take the progesterone until I come back home to ward off so I can have a baseline u/s. Otherwise I would have to cancel the next cycle.

If this cycle doesn't work... next month should be slightly smoother for Dr appointments and such. I am going to nightshift (7PM-7AM). I can easily schedule appointments around that without having to switch shifts. This month wasn't fun because all of the shift switching and such left me working 7 days straight. That is a lot for me

Alldeliveriesnobaby- Enjoy yourself in Disneyland. Maybe Mickey will grant you a magical wish!

Angsea- Stay away from the pee stick


AFM, counting down…5dpiui…..I’m cramping with the rest of you and also bloated. I can’t wait until the trigger shot is out of my system.
So, my next step is IVF. I have to meet with my RE on Friday and they also require me to have a genetic consultation, and a nursing consultation. My genetic consult is tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to start the process and prepare for the next steps.

I also take royal jelly. One tsp in the morning and one at night. I started last month so we will see how it goes. I need all the help I can get with my eggs

Charliesmom - I'm so sorry you're feeling sick!! Hopefully it was just a day thing and you're feeling better by now.

Alldeliveries - I'm sorry to hear about your mom! That certainly doesn't help with stress, but Disneyland definitely will!! Stay positive, things will work out the way they're supposed to.

Ang - Let us know how your progesteron check went!! that it goes well!! What day piui, are you right now? I'm at 7dpiui and I don't think I can wait another week to get tested. But I think I'll have to have some self control and just wait

Wishing everyone luck!! We're about half way through this crappy 2ww!! Then hopefully our board will have 100% success rate!!

[Heatherly]

AllDeliveries - I wish I could take your WISE advice and stop poas but I can't resist the overwhelming urge!!! Its a sickness!

I got another BFN this morning. Big surprise!

[mrshonly1]

Hi Ladies,

I'm new here. I posted in the new member section. I'm here in my two week wait as well...this is my 5th cycle with IUI. We've had two miscarriages.

I had IUI on 6/20. I haven't really had any symptoms yet. I did have some breast pain that was different than usual. Anyone else get sharp stabbing pains in one breast? I figured it was due to all of the hormonal changes. Our last miscarriage was just last month. It was a chemical pregnancy and ended really early.

I think one of the things that's so tough about this the average woman would never even know about early miscarriages. They would just think AF was late a few days and not think about it. We on the otherhand have to monitor ourselves so closely...that in itself is stressful.

Pray all goes well with everyone and we get lot's of BFP!

[JessicaN]

mrshonly1- yea! welcome to our group! we both had our iui on the same day so we should test around the same time.

alldeliveries- Disneyland is the place where magic happens...hopefully baby magic! Wouldn't that just be awesome!

I can't wait until all of our start coming in!!!

[Tippy]

Heatherly - Just out of curiousity, my RE told me not to POAS until cd35, which would be like 3 weeks after IUI. (yeah right, haha) She told me this because she said if I did test before hand the trigger shot may be in my system still and could give a false positive. But everyone that I've heard on here so far is getting BFN because it's too soon, not BFP? I'm so confused! Maybe I'll take a HPT on 12dpiui too. That would be Monday.. that's sooo soon! If not, I get B/W done on July 1. And I'm sure you're just too early, if I were you I wouldn't even think about the BFN, because it's so unreliable at this point. There's still a good chance!!!

Mrshonly !!! It's wonderful to have another friendly, encouraging face on this board!! I only joined a couple weeks ago and I already find strength with the amazing women on here. for you this time around!

[Heatherly]

Tiff - My RE could have told me not to poas too but LIKE I CAN LISTEN!!! I just have to.

[mooodyb2000]

mrshonly1, to our group. I also had my IUI on the 20th. I wish you this week and let's home this is your cycle. It's nice to be able to read and reply to others who are going through the same thing as you are.

[AllDeliveriesNoBaby]

Okay ladies, I won't be on here for some time. I really hope to come back and see a lot of BFPs!

Thanks for all of the well wishes at Disney!

[angsea]

I'm 8dpiui now, my 2ww is more than half over! I went in for my progesterone check today and the lab tech was making a lot of jokes with me and told me she used to go to my RE till her insurance changed. She also has PCOS and has been trying for three years. We chatted quite a bit and wished each other luck, and right before I left she gave me a hug. I thought it was very sweet and just the kind of encouragement I needed right now.

I think I've decided I'm going to POAS on the 29th. That will be 13dpiui and is the day before my B/W. That way, I'm prepared for the answer either way.

I hope you're all having a swift and easy 2WW. My DH and I have been praying for everyone here. Love you girlies.

- Angel

[mrshonly1]

Thank you ladies for your warm welcome! It's great that you all started this thread and we're all on the same timeline.

JessicaN and mooodyb2000 are you two testing on the 3rd? My RE told me I could test on Friday instead of Saturday so we could get our test results. That's a 3-day weekend for me and I almost would rather not have it ruined by a BFN! I don't know what I'm saying, I'm going to be there bright and early on Friday morning to get my blood drawn. It's kind of sad when the lab people recognize you! LOL

This cycle is killing me. I get migraines and I've had one everyday for the last week. I keep telling my husband, "I hope you appreciate me!" LOL Of course he does. He just hates to see me suffering so.

I'm like you all too. I want to POAS, but I know how the disappointment sucks, so I'm going to stay away from it. I'm trying not to over analyze every symptom.

I was spotting today. I hope it's the notorious "implantation" bleeding. Anyone else see signs of that?

[mooodyb2000]

I haven't decided when I am going to POAS yet. I know that seems funny, but this cycle I really feel that I am pregnant. I have to be honest. Last time around I was negative and all, but this time everything just somehow feels different. My Re's office told me to wait 14 days, so assuming that doesn't show up I will poas on Saturday the 4th. Besides, that is my weekend off and my office is open all weekend so if it's the I think it will be then I can just call and go get the b/w. Best wishes to all and let's keep the possitive thoughts rolling in
