I'm dying to test, but I'm trying to stop myself from the insanity!

Also, ??? for other's do most people cut out caffine and alcohol completely from the day of your iui? i've cut down. I basically take two sips of coffee and then leave it and I did have a few glasses of wine over the weekend.

I am a POAS Addict so I am not one to hand out advice, but try and wait a little longer before testing.
(remind me of this advice when I reach my 10th day past iui!!!)

I too have tried to cut back on caffine. I still have 1 cup of coffee and then I switch to green tea. I am trying to kick the soda habit. I had a glass of wine last night so my husband and I could toast out IUI. My theory is even if it worked, the embie isn't on my blood supply yet. Now that you have reached implantation time it is probably best to forgo the wine. That will be sooo hard for me. I love my Pinot Noir.

Keep us posted!!!

Thanks Jody and Amy! I'm very excited/prayerful/hopeful/anxious, but trying to keep my wits about me!

Still significant pangs of pain from the right ovary, so i'm hoping it's 'doing its job' and providing for at least 1 little one...i'm dying for my husband to hear the heartbeat of the baby for the first time...i'm already planning to cry very hard if we get to.

baby dust all around, and my prayers are with everyone. thanks for welcoming me in!

Too late I already tested and I got a BFN. I feel terrible. And I feel like if I hold on to "hope" that's it "too early" that I'm just another infertile psychopath that obsesses about what's not going to happen.

And where the heck to I go to edit my profile and signature? I don't see a link anywhere.

Go to User CP in the upper left-hand corner of the page - click on it and it will bring you to the page where you can edit your signature.

I'm sorry for your ,but it is still very early so don't give up on hope yet. I've heard of many people not getting a until 16dpo.
