Hello ladies,
I hope you don't mind me poking myself into the thread. 😊
I'm 35, my partner is 33.. we're a same sex couple, we've been together close to 7 years & my biological clock is THUMPING!!
I've been pregnant twice and lost both angels before 10 weeks in my early 20's. It's taken 4 years for us to be able to start teatment for various reasons. We are using a known donor. He is an absolutely wonderful gay man, who I met as a colleague when I was 18. He doesn't live close so we have IUI ready donations stores at the clinic we're seen at.
My first IUI was in August, it ended in a chemical pregnancy. Following that I had every test for RPL going but everything came back perfect.....
And now we're here, I had IUI#2 using Tamoxifen & Ovitrelle trigger on the 18th of January. I'm now currently 9dpiui. I feel like I have symptoms flying around everywhere but I'm finding it difficult to get excited. I got only a few days with a BFP before it started to end.
So far..
:: My boobs are definitely looking and feeling heavy, they hurt when I lay on my back & also feel uncomfortable in a bra. I
:: I'm getting lower back pain here and there and odd left side twinges too (I ovulated left side, I only have one ovary)
:: Food tastes weird, I've asked DW to taste my food. I had some chicken the other day and begged her to taste it because to me it tasted sooo salty 😂
:: Finally, starting last night I've had strong but short waves of queasiness/nausea. I'm also super exhausted today. Anywhere soft gets me nodding off.
On the previous IUI the queasiness started at 9dpiui.. it made me start testing the following day.. where I got a faint but positive result.
I'm going to try & hold off testing until a few days before AF... Though, I suspect I won't be able to haha
Good luck ladies. Fingers crossed for you all
