MrsJPC - AF cramps could be a good sign. What CD are you on?

 

[zeezee]

MrsSunshine & MrsJPC - I have everything crossed for you both.

Lola & Britt - I can't believe we are only on day 2 of our tww...

 

[MrsJPC]

Lola - I have been wondering about these cramps but they are so AF like. Trying not to get my hopes up. 16 days since my IUI but due to the follow up drugs I am not allowed to test until day 18, so Tuesday.

For the first time in my life I am looking forward to the weekend being over! The longer she doesn't show up the more my hopes keeping improving.

So hard!

Good luck to the 2ww's I feel your pain. I just kept booking things in to do, cinema, dinner, stuff like that. x x x

I really don't want to be a crazy symptom spotter at only 2DPO. I feel a little different, but this isn't my first rodeo & I know it's way too early for symptoms!

That said, I've had a bit of bloating/cramping, just a bit, and a generally wet feeling. I usually feel dry at this point. I wonder if it's actually different, or if I should chalk it up to IUI. Anyone experienced this?

Thanks all! I have finally made it through the depression and am back to that positive 'onwards and upwards' feeling! Well almost - phoned the hospital this morning to let them know the cycle was unsuccesful and despite a -ve test on Friday and full flow AF since Saturday, they still want me to do another test 'just in case'!! I think they are actually trying to torture me, don't they think I've seen enough -ve's by now!! Anyway, next IUI should be in the week of August 2nd, hopefully that will be the lucky one for us.

MrsJPC - thinking of you lots hon, best of luck for tomorrow. Are you doing a HPT or going in for bloods? Really hope this one is positive for you *hugs*

Lola - Not sure when you posted but don't forget that your O will be later than your IUI so it may just be your ewcm kicking in?

Hope the tww is going well for everyone!

 

[MrsJPC]

She still hasn't arrived and she still feels like she is going to. This is torture!

Thank you all for your good lucks!

will keep you posted!

[Britt11]

sorry Mars about AF, it really is hard at this point isnt it?
G.L. Mrs JPC!!
Lola, I was very crampy the day after my first IUI but today just bloated, I have increased CM too?...hopefully a good sign but I do tend to get more right after O

Fx'd for all the ladies on this thread
hugs

 

[mrssunshine78]

i'm driving myself crazy at the moment all i can think is whether i'm preg or not (prob not), but its driving me mad i really want to test, but know that i shouldn't.

haven't really got any symptoms, been getting af type cramps, but its too early arghh going slowly crazy!!

 

[MrsJPC]

The witch arrived at 8pm last night. Was absolutely devastated. Cannot believe how hard it hit me. I thought I would be more prepared for the worse.

I just can't believe I let myself start to believe it had worked.

I am doing my usual and trying to bounce back but it is so hard. I am so lucky, I have a fab boss, family and friends. All routing for me, but this hurts so very much.

I am on the verge of tears all the time, and that is so not me. Everything else in life seems so pointless. I just cannot bare this horrible waiting game. I used to wonder about the stories of women who just give up and then get pregnant. I now understand the giving up. Its been nearly two years, one miscarriage and I just hate feeling this sad. I am a positive person normally.

And to top it off my brother and his heavily pregnant wife are moving in on Saturday for a week as their house is taking longer than first thought to complete. God I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sorry to bring you down with me. I really do wish you all the luck in the world and thanks for being there

So sorry, MrsJPC. The let-down when she first shows is the worst. This ttc stuff can really turn your life upside down. I'm at least glad you have a few days to pull it together before your brother gets there. It seems situations like that are often thrown at us when we're feeling particularly down. Give it a few days & you'll be back to your normal self.

I know what you mean about giving up...I'm approaching that point myself. After 3+ years and never a hint of a BFP, at some point I need to stop planning my life around the possibility of kids. Not easy, but at least we all have eachother to lean on.

 

[MarsMaiden]

MrsJPC - I'm so sorry, I was really hoping when AF didn't show up over the weekend that this might be the one for you. No one else can really understand the pain of another month going by, let alone a month where you have made so many positive moves to try and make sure that this is the one. But we have to carry on, that is what we do. Realistically the chances of the first IUI working were pretty slim (that's what I'm telling myself!) but its not to say that the next one won't be successful. We have to hope!

I have decided to try soy this month on my natural cycle just to try and up my chances and make doubly sure that I ovulate! I am going to give myself every chance I can, I guess I can't quite believe yet that life would be cruel enough to deny me a child of my own.

Don't give up yet, it will happen for us!

 

[mrssunshine78]

aww i'm so sorry mrsjpc, it is so hard, i think we kind of let ourselves feel like this might be the month esp when trying something new treat yourself to something nice, i know there's nothing we can say cos we all know what its like. Am thinking of you xx

its also been nearly 3 yrs for us and i've never even had a sniff at a bfp, its just so tough.

xx

 

[MrsJPC]

Thank you ladies you are so lovely.

Mrs S - I have already had to diet cokes (the things we give up!) and tonight hubby is taking me out for dinner and a large glass of vino.

Mars -What is Soy? I did see your other thread. You know us TTC'ers we'll try anything. I may investigate. Am I too late though being on day 2 already??

Thanks again girlies, feeling much better now.

MrsJPC, I feel your pain- that is why I like the LTTC section, all of you girls are going through similar situations and we understand each other. I am so sorry you got AF and it didnt work this time, but it will happen... This is my second IUI, i was gutted when the first one didnt work as well, but our FS said to keep doing the IUI's that there is roughly a 15% chance for couples with fertility problems each cycle, but if you keep doing them it should work.
sending you a huge hug right now

 

[zeezee]

MrsJPC - I am bummed for you and feel your disappointment. I know nothing anyone says will help ease the blues right now, but know there is a community of people here who understand how you feel (for whatever that is worth).

So I am feeling pretty blue today - I just feel in my gut that the IUI didn't work. I woke up with AF cramps last night and I am only 4dpo. Same as last cycle

Anyway, I hate wishing my life away so much, but I just want resolution.

Hey Zeezee, my gosh you and I are in the exact same situation. I am 4dpo too and feel it didnt work as I feel the same as I do every cycle as well...I am hoping something changes at 7 or 8 dpo if something implants- thats the only thing I can go by.
Seems strange to get cramps so early though? maybe a good sign and perhaps something was trying to take last time?
we are definite cycle buddies, so lets help each other through

 

[lola13]

Zee & Britt - Oddly, I actually feel positive this time around. My lower back feels a bit achy (there I go again with crazy-too-early symptoms!). I don't know, I just feel good about my chances this time. I hope I'm not setting myself up for a major crash & burn. It's not that I'm convincing myself of anything...I just feel optimistic.

This is the time of month I read through old posts of early pg symptoms. Most BFPers fully expected AF to show, so you girls sound pretty normal. We'll just have to wait it out.

Hi ladies, I've been lurking for a bit while I sorted my head out after the last disappointing result and I think I'm just about sorted now. Mrs JPC - so sorry to hear you had no luck on this cycle. Your time will come

I've spoken to my clinic and it doesn't look likely we'll get another shot at IUI and they've recommended we look at IVF (once the lardmonster has shed some blubber!). I'm feeling quite positive about the future and just wanted to thank everyone on this thread for all the kind words and support - you just can't get that sort of support anywhere else!! I'll keep lurking to see what happens to you all. xxx
