Bring on Feb BFPs !! a TWW thread

[xxshellsxx]

The only thing i can link to is being light headed and (tmi) loose bowels which is not normal for me. My boobs ache a little today, especially my nipples, but that's normal for me post O anyway so i have no idea lol x

Finally finished writing up my IUI guide for at-home IUI's. If anyone is interested, I posted it here: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/a...f-iui-our-home-insemination.html#post25443807

Really excited to have it done! Please let me know if you find a bunch of typos!!

The sides of my boobs are really sore..can't even sleep on them

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

same here.. thats a good thing.. because soreness on sides suggests progesterone is high enough in blood and it was a strong ovulation !!

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

Bluenpink - Why did your RE not let you do an IUI? I did do two Estrace tabs vaginally and was actually prescribed to do two more but was then told not to do the last two because my estrogen level was like 950 and that was before the Estrace! So it is definitely high enough. She wasn't sure why the lining was so thin (probably just from being on Clomid for so long now) but she didn't seem too concerned by it. Praying it works this time but if not we are going to do only injectables next cycle.

Sprinkles - I have been following your DIY IUI thread as well. I think it is great that you have taken that into your own hands. It really is much more intimate that way. There were 4 people in the room during this last IUI, not including my husband and myself! You definitely lose all sense of privacy and intimacy this way. My meds this cycle were Clomid 50mg days 4-9, Follistim 50 IU days 9-10 and 100 IU day 11, and Ovidrel 250mcg day 11.

What day will you all be testing on? I have a blood test scheduled for Feb 26 and will try to wait until then to test. We'll see how well that works out though...

 

[pinksprinkles]

Prayerful- I started testing out my trigger the day of the shot, first to see the spike and the to watch it fade, All the hCG was finally out of my system yesterday. I have a bunch of IC's, so I'm just going to keep on testing. I am holding out hope that I'll still get a BFP by tomorrow night. I know it is a super long shot, but it would be so awesome. I have such a looooong TWW, AF doesn't usually show up until 17dpo lately, so that wouldn't be until the 21st/22nd-ish. Good luck on waiting! I've never been able to do it...

It has since dried and barley/nothing there... but it's invalid after 10 mins... i have never had lines on anything other than after limit evaps... i'm sooo scared to get my hopes up on this, but it's kind of hard not too... keep me grounded please!!! This could still not be real!!

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

i see it !!! i think ill be congratulating you soon !!

on the other note today, 12 days past trigger and 10 dpo i got BFN with fmu hope that trigger thingy is out of my system... i am thinking im out.. lets see

 

[pinksprinkles]

xxshellsxx- I think I see something, too. Give it another couple days and you should have your answer.

Bluenpinkmom- I know that feeling. I'm only 9dpo, but the "very sure I'm pregnant" feeling has gone, and I honestly believe that implantation failed. I don't know why I'm sure, even though AF is a week away, but something is just telling me this isn't the month. I'll keep my FX'd for both of us that we are wrong!

 

[xxshellsxx]

Thanks for looking girls - i'm not going to sleep tonight i can already feel my stomach churning lol x

Girls think positively, nobody is out until 'she' shows... or hopefully not!! x

 

[ddekerl]

Told you things looked good, Shells. :-D

I tested this morning and am hung up on a shadowy area I see on a frer. Never really had a problem with imaginary lines on them before. Not a fan. However my phone's camera is 2mp and any pictures I take do ZERO justice. :-| Please please keep us updated!

 

[xxshellsxx]

I'm guessing that was just a fluky test yesterday, not seeing much today

Ddekerl - post a pic anyway, let me obsess over someone else's instead of my own lol x

 

[ddekerl]

Your answer looks like my frer from yesterday. I ran to the bathroom this morning and hurried up and peed before I could grab a test. I feel like I deserve a treat or something for behaving.

I already dissected and angrily threw away yesterdays, Shells. We'll have to all just obsess over yours for now.

 

[pinksprinkles]

BFN again today.

 

[missy123]

Af due today...i can feel the bi**h coming!

 

[Prayerful]

Ugh, this is such a long TWW already... only been 5 days since the trigger and 4 since the IUI.

 

[pinksprinkles]

Annnnnnnnnd.......... BFN.
