Clomid, IUI & Exercise

[Springy]

I agree - too disappointing to see that BFN when I could have hope for a few more days!!! I won't be testing till the full two weeks either. I can technically go for my Beta on the 29th but if last month is any indication I think I might wait a few extra days as AF showed up on 15dpo.

I had all good intentions of going to the gym today after work but when I got up this morning I chickened out and decided that going to the gym was a better option for me!!! Instead I will go shopping

31: Good idea about the not testing until the full two weeks! I think I will do the same, although I don't usually get chance to test as AF shows her head pretty much spot on.

Springy: Shopping instead of the gym is an excellent idea!!

No news to report from me. Managed to get my laptop working on holiday so just sat relaxing in the sunshine. (The weather is surprising good for England so I am making the most of it!)

Fingers crossed for everyone! x

Thanks for the replies ladies, I was just curious about the caffein and alcohol thing. I am definately on the conservative side when it comes to that stuff. So unfair that some people can go out and act 'normal' with the caffeine and alcohol and get pregnant at the drop of a hat. Oh well, hope the 2ww isn't dragging on too badly for everyone. Not sure when I will test, probably wait the full 2 weeks but might cave at 12 dpiui, we'll see.

Harvest - I underestimated the level of disappointment with an early BFN last month. Totally up to you but for me I was very disappointed at 10 days post IUI to see the negative. It was like it sucked the hope out of the whole process. I wish I would have waited until day 14 so I would have remained hopeful the last 3 days. Just my 2 cents

Hey ladies!

I am REALLY bloated tonight! Is anyone else feeling the same or experienced this on previous cycles of IUI?!

Maybe, I am just getting fat!

I'm bloated off and on all the time so I can relate to how you're feeling. I definitely don't symptom spot with being bloated. I do however keep feeling my boobs to see if they are sore!!!

Thanks 31, I am sure you are totally right about not testing early. I have to say though for some reason I have no hope for this cycle, for some reason I fell like I have come to terms with never getting a BFP I don't fell like IUI will make any difference compared to a natural cycle since I ovulate on my own and have no know problems. I really hope I am wrong!

Harvest I think we all have days like that! It will pass and another day you will find yourself so positive and hopeful for the BFP. I think that convincing myself that it isn't going to happen I think will help lessen the blow of a BFN. As hard as it is try and believe that it will happen and that the IUI will work. The power of the mind is an amazing thing .... Hang in there only one more week before you can test and know for sure! In the meantime stay positive and keep the hope up!

I did this also last month and by the 3rd or 4th day they actually did hurt but I quickly realized that it was just because I had been poking them for 3 days straight

Thanks ladies

I am feeling much better (bloated-wise) this morning. My boobs have been VERY sore for a few days. I am not taking this as a symptom as they are usually sore after ov but they do feel worse this month.

It will be a week tomorrow since I had IUI.... can't believe I am nearly into my 1ww!

Hey Harvest,

I am in a similar position to you in that I am classed as unexplained too...no problems with DH or I. If it helps any, this time last year I started clomid for the first time and got pg!! I had no expectations but sometimes doing something DIFFERENT does actually work! Hope you are feeling better today xx

Thanks Dizzi and Springy! you ladies are awesome, my mood really has turned around today. It is much more fun to be positive than a big downer Sorry to hear about ur loss dizzi your story ahs really brought the hope back. I think that I am reluctant because my sister suffered from secondary infertiltiy and she was on clomid for 6 months and nothing, she never went onto IUI or IVF though so I am sure I will be a different story, i hope

This morning the bloat has set in big time and my (.)(.) have been so sore, full and heavy for the last few days but these things happen every month so no surprise there.

You ladies doing anything exciting for the long weekend? we are heading out of town tomorrow for a wedding so that shoudl be fun. Lots of exciting things happening next week too, so this next week will probably go fast.

Take care ladies

Hey harvest!

So pleased that you are feeling better today, I think it is fair to say that we all have those kind of days but it is great that we are in touch with each other via B&B so we don't feel so alone.

I am still away on holiday at the moment, DH's parents are coming down tonight so we are off out for a lovely meal. Not sure when we are going home yet, we are just taking things one day at a time....it might be tomorrow night but could be Monday if we feel like staying!

Enjoy the Easter weekend xx
