I am out On to round 3 in May. And I am going for as long of a run as possible tonight just because I can. Next month is going to have bad timing. My day 11 scan will be the day we head out of town for my first 1/2 but I am guessing the IUI will need to happen the day before or the day of the run.

Bummer 31andTrying...... fingers crossed for next cycle........

 

[Swepakepa3]

No symptoms here..... scheduled a consult with RE for wed..... lets see what she has to say.... maybe she will change something for IUI #3 if needed...

hi ladies question.. i know i mentioned before that i was having 'symptoms' of sore nipps, but i'm wondering if this is a common side effect of progesterone? i didn't have it last month, but i don't know if your body can react differently on different months. they hurt the most when i first take my bra off.. ouch!! does anyone know if its related to the progesterone? i'm on 200mg daily.

 

[Springy]

I have never been on progesterone so I can't comment but given it is a hormone I would be surprised if there were no side effects.

We have an appointment with our dr this afternoon to see what our next steps will be if April isn't our month!!

Still feeling crappy - have an appointment with my family dr today too to see what this bug is!!

Hi TouchTheSky
I am on progesterone too and have the worst sore (.)(.) EVER!!! Never have they been so sore, hopefully it is not the hormones and it is a symptom but I am not sure as this is my first month taking it. I have also been extremely thirsty for the last 3 days. I also feel like I have gas pains in my lower abdomen, it's not gas but that is the only way to describe it. Wierd! has anyone else experienced this???

Sorry for the BFN 31! Hope next cycle is the ticket for you

Hope you are feeling better Springy! How did you appointment go?

Harvest, how many dpo are you?

I have used progesterone quite a bit ... it does tend to cause sore boobies and an achey uterus. The reason for this is because it is a hormone that is produced in pregnancy, therefore it gives off a lot of similar symptoms. It drove me bonkers cuz it made it so much harder to symptom spot. I will tell you 2 things I experienced with BOTH my BFP's that the medication can't be to blame ...
First thing -- Really dark veins starting at the top of my chest that went to my nipple. They poked out as if I was a crazy chick on roids that hit around 11DPIUI
Second thing -- horrible nausea after I ate anything, felt like I was instantly gonna heave. That hit around 10DPIUI.

I hope you all see your BFP's this week!!!! WOO HOO ... can't wait

This is great news PCOS! I look like I have a road map on my chest! No nausea though so I guess only time will tell Hope you are keeping well

Appointment went well yesterday. He said that our next step would be injectable drugs, specifically Gonal-F, with IUI. And then a laparascopy to see if there is any sign of endometriosis ... beyond that it would be IVF but DH and I talked about it and we don't feel with our age and the fact we are "unexplained" that we should be jumping to IVF! So we are taking May off if April is a bust, which I think it is as I do not have ONE symptom and its 12 dpiui and then we will make some decisions about the summer months.

 

[HuskyMomWI]

Hoping for more BFPs this week ladies!!

I think we are going to sit out this round. We have the trip planned along with the half marathon for 5/7 which would be the day of or the day after the IUI and I know if we skip the trip and the IUI doesn't work that I will be extremely disappointed. I have a message in to the Dr to see if she is opposed to us sitting this round out. I have high FSH which means my clock is ticking a bit faster so we will see. Thinking about taking the Femara but no IUI. Although I am already second guessing it and don't want to miss a month. Although we would still be trying - just no IUI.

 

[Springy]

Before we started IUI we tried 2 rounds of the drugs just on our own with OPKs and timed intercourse and I have to admit it was less stressful and I wasn't as obsessed as I have been with the IUI so if you want to "take a break" but still try then the drugs with OPK + Intercourse is a good plan.

 

[Harvest2009]

Fx that this cycle is a bfp for you springy! Then no need for the injectibles. That sounds like a good next step though before jumping into ivf

31-sounds like a good plan to skip the iui if you are running a half, I would do the same. Hope the clomid works on it's own for you

I'm with you - now 13 dpo and NO symptoms .... just feel like AF is going to show up in the next few days. Although I am mentally prepared for it and have a plan for now till October so I feel ok with things. My main focus if I get a BFN is to get back in to running and make myself happy again! This whole TTC journey has made me feel like I have lost who I am!!!

Fx'd that we all get BFP this week!! Going to be a busy end of the week!!!

I hear you on that! I haven't run consistently since late Feb/early March. Not that long, but to me it's forever..

It's great that you have a plan because it definitely helps if things don't go as you'd like. I've had just a few symptoms but I think it's all related to the endometrin (progesterone) I'm taking. If this cycle doesn't work, we'll try again next month.. then take it from there I suppose. I'd like to be pregnant by the time I turn 30, in July

 

[Harvest2009]

13 DPIUI and I have a few symptoms but hard to know if they are from the progesterone supplements or real BFP symptoms. The lastest one is AF like cramps, hoping she is not on her way already! I have to say that if I am not PG I am dying to start the fitness routine again even if only for a couple weeks until the next round of IUI in May!
