Clomid, IUI & Exercise

[dizzikel]

No follow up scan, I'm just supposed to go in CD3 of my next cycle. I am so sad to think it may still be there and I'll have to wait until July (or longer) for my next IUI. I am turning 30 in July and wanted to be preggo by then! Also my dad has stage 4 cancer so that was another reason I was really hopeful to get pregnant right away. I have been feeling kinda out of it since last week. Just bummed, as I really thought May was my month.

Sorry to hear about your Dad and the cyst hun I hope your cycle goes really quickly this month and you manage to get back onto IUI in June x

Sorry to hear this Are they going to do surgery during your next cycle to remove it?

Not that I know of. If I still have it in June, then I think they'll put me on birth control. I've come around and embraced the time off.. it's nice to not be consumed by opks, iui, 2ww, etc etc.

How are you doing 31? When do you test?

 

[HuskyMomWI]

My 2ww is up on on 5/22. The last two cycles big red appeared on day 12 which would be 5/20 so I may test then. I am traveling for work next week which should help pass the time. I don't have much hope for this cycle with the polyp. From what I have read it can create a hostile environment in the lining so who knows.

I too am loving the break - it is very nice not to be totally consumed with what day of my cycle it is, getting to the clinic on time, taking time off work without it being noticed! I am going to use the OPKs again this month as we will time it naturally and see but I'm not holding out hope.

It has been SO nice to get running again and not be stressed about what I may or may not be doing to a "ball of cells" (that's the science side of me - it isn't a baby till I get a BFP - its a ball of cells till that point!) And I "MIGHT" be enjoying a few glasses more of wine this month than I have in previous months!!!

Travelling will TOTALLY help pass the time and it keeps your mind off the symptom spotting. Try and stay positive you never know this could be your month because you're thinking its out I'll stay positive for you!!!

Springy - are you using the digital OPKs? There is something about seeing that happy face

Yep - I tried using the 2 line ones and could never really tell when it was "darker" than the control - I can see a happy face or a blank circle My blondeness can handle that!

lol! i also love the digitals. when i see the smiley face it makes me happy

 

[HuskyMomWI]

This nerd has actually taken pictures of the happy face to show my hubby and family.

31: That is funny!

I have a clearblue fertility monitor and love seeing the little eggy pop up on my peak day. I guess we just hang on to anything positive..especially when it comes to peeing on a stick!

Girl, I take pictures of it every month.

Hey all,

I was just sat thinking, over the past couple of weeks I have heard of quite a few couples that are splitting up for one reason and another. To be honest I has made me quite clingy with DH and reflect on the fact that we need to make sure our relationship stays on track. We have been at this TTC lark for 4 years now and I can get very tunnel visioned about it all.

DH and I have agreed to start going out a bit more on little dates.... is anyone else doing anything with your DH to keep things exciting?!

We have started to do "date" nights. And we are taking golf lessons together so we are doing things together that don't relate to "making a baby". We have also started to go to the gym together which is nice.

I read the book conquering infertility and it suggests that if you feel like all you talk about is the infertility then to set aside a certain amount of time to talk about it and then you don't talk about it at other times that way it forces you to talk about different things and not focus on the infertility.

I have to admit that last week was the first time I have felt this way and actually said to him "do you feel like I'm a failure because I can't get pregnant" and he, being the laid back carefree guy he is, says "of course not" and then moved right on into another conversation!!!

And I have to admit that now that we're taking a month or two off we are looking to get back to the place where intimacy is because we want to and because we enjoy it not because the OPK has a smiley face on it!!!

 

[dizzikel]

Hey Springy,

That sounds nice hun. We go to the gym together too....when I am exercising that is! Thanks for the tips about not talking too much about infertility etc. Do you find that it works?

I think it does get to the point where you think that you are a failure and letting your DH down, I felt really depressed about this last year and it's not an easy thought to get rid of. I think men take it in their stride though. My DH has started to learn the TTC lingo and keeps saying how many DPIUI are you etc.... I have to laugh!!

DH is away next month when I will be fertile so we are going to have a month off without clomid and IUI. FX we won't need another cycle though.

How is everyone doing?

Hi ladies,

Just a quick post...

I have had brown spotting the past two days. Does anyone know if this is normal after IUI as it didn't happen last month

xx

 

[gingerbaby]

Dizzi- Sometimes there can be some spotting or bleeding after IUI. The catheter could have rubbed you wrong. Good luck hun.

 

[dizzikel]

Thanks gingerbaby! Looks like it has disturbed something

Hope you are doing well hun xx

Hi Kel - I had spotting with my 2nd IUI but not my first and I was panicking so I asked the dr on the second day of my IUI if that was normal and he said yes that the Dr on the first day had "nicked" my cervix - fun fun!
