3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[baby.wish]

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone out there who I'd still trying for that BFp and to everyone who is expecting! I'm sitting here nursing my lo right now he came 1.5 weeks early but is a healthy baby boy....... This whole experience was hard but the outcome is truly amazing and worth every but of pain!

OMG CONGRATS!! Soooo very happy for you!! What did you name your little boy?? So nice to hear

 

[baby.wish]

Hey everyone.. I haven't written anything for a while but I've been checking on all of you from time to time. I just got my bfp yesterday ( happy thanksgiving to me!) on a frer and a clear blue digital. I was 12dpiui/14dpt. I was really worried it was the trigger but I tested again this morning and its still there! Might be a little darker. I will test again tomorrow morning and then have my first Beta on Monday. I still can't believe this and I keep going back and looking at the pos tests all day! Still very cautious. Anyway I didn't think this would happen to me and I know how hard it is for everyone that's trying. Don't give up!! Keep pushing along and it will happen!!

Congratulations!! Praying for a healthy pregnancy

Baby.wish, I stopped acupuncture after my ET, that's what the acupuncturist recommended and I really couldn't afford it anymore either.

Ttcmoon, so sorry to hear about your bfn!

Chris, great news about your 2nd beta! Keep us posted!

March, congratulations!!!

March, congrats to you!! Great news!!!

Chris, how did everything go on Friday?

Luc, so glad you are looking into acupuncture, I think it did wonders to help me relax during all the stress of IVF.

JLH, congrats on the birth of your son!! So exciting!

How is everyone else doing lately? Any news or updates?

Afm, I just started to feel the baby kick this past week. It is an amazing feeling! She has kicked hard enough once or twice for DH to feel as well so that was really exciting.

 

[baby.wish]

Mav so exciting to feel the baby kick!!! must feel sooo real now that you have your little one inside of you.

as for me, i wish i could be a bit more relaxed. i'm feeling so nervous and really wish the ultrasound was sooner then two weeks away. i was cramping on the weekend and had a dull side pain and i just felt so scared. i think its cuz of the last time but I dont want to feel this way the whole time. i wanna relax and enjoy it! half the time i know its the progesterone thats causing the cramps. did any of you any side or back aches this early on? i should be around 5 weeks. thanks guys

It's so hard to relax...i didn't know what to attribute it to, but i had a ton of dull cramping basically starting at 2 days after ET and it has never really totally gone away...i think it morphed into round ligament pain. as much as you can (unless it's really painful), try to look at the cramping as the baby growing and settling in. i know that's so easy to say though. :/ Praying you will be able to enjoy this with as little stress as possible!

 

[PinkPeony]

Yeah cramping is so normal. I had all kinds of tweeks and pains. Every single one made me nervous. I still get weird pains and cramps... I think it's the uterus growing at this point. I still get worried when it's a new one I haven't felt before.

Mav - awesome that you're feeling kicks now! I've been getting flutters which seem to be more frequent these days. Can't wait to feel something I can say for sure isn't gas lol!

The numbers doubled on Friday from 57 to 123. Now tomorrow I go for blood work again and just pray it's good! Ah so scared
That must be so amazing to feel! I can't wait for that

 

[Maverick007]

Chris that's awesome!! It's definitely intense waiting for those beta results. It sounds great so far though.

 

[StayHopeful]

Baby.wish, I definitely had all sorts of random cramps and twinges. It was just my little guy settling in! I know how hard it is not to over-analyze every single feeling though.

 

[baby.wish]

Chris how were your beta numbers today?

 

[Chris_25]

820! I am going for a sonogram on Monday.
So exciting and scary!

How are you feeling? Updates?

Chris great number!!

You are so lucky your clinic does sonograms so early on, mine will not do an ultrasound until i am at least 6.5 weeks so I have to go in next Friday. Seems sooo far away. After the initial two betas you just wish you could keep going for them until the ultrasound. Its like you need to know you are still pregnant. I think after trying for so long its shocking to finally have a BFP!
