February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[Amcolecchi]

Hahaha the pimple thing is hilarious!!! Jazzy, twins would be awesome!! Karena, I bet you the next time your friend ovulates she will notice that pimple lol (if she is aware of her cycle like we all are)! lol

Jazzy - did you decide to test today??

Amcolecchi - how are you doing on your 2ww??

 

[Amcolecchi]

Yes Jazzy I am curios too! My tww is dragging!!! And to make it worse I have a terrible head cold! how are you hanging in there?

 

[JazzyFresh]

Jazzy - did you decide to test today??

Amcolecchi - how are you doing on your 2ww??

If I test today will there still be a chance of a false positive??? That is my only concern. I didn't ask the nurse. I just confirmed my blood test for Friday and was like can I home test and she was like sure, but just so you know it may not be enough to detect this soon. Your thoughts??? Arrrgh... the wait! hahaha..

hmm what are you 13 dp trigger? If you are 13 than I really think you won't get a false positive, the most I have seen was it took someone 10 days for it to leave their system. But like the nurse said, your HCG levels might not be high enough to test positive, or they could be high enough (especially if you have twinnies in there!).

Amcolecchi - I hear ya on the dragging...I can't believe how slow this time is going by!! That stinks that you have a head cold too ugh, no fun at all!! I'm hanging in there, (TMI) peeing every hour, and eating everything in sight...and the bloating is just out of control!!

Yup 13 post trigger. I think I am in the clear. I haven't heard it lasting longer than that either. Here I come Walmart!!! lol. OMG... twinnies..... that would be crazy!!! I had the gushiest dream last night... was just cradling a pretty lil girl baby in my arms. We shall see! lol

Karena, you are going through the exact same symptoms. I will say this, the hunger stopped. Now I get full easily BUT have to eat often.

BEST WISHES FOR YOU BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[karena547]

Aww I have heard good signs about dreaming that you have had a baby when you are actually really pregnant! Things are looking good for you jazzy!!

I have to ask when did the hunger stop? I feel like I am gaining weight like crazy..and me and hubby are celebrating v-day on Saturday, what am I going to wear bc I am so big and bloated, my cute little clothes no longer fit! Ugh!!

And did you have the pee problem too lol sorry to ask, but I don't see a lot of ppl with this s/e! I know when my mom was pregnant every time she said she only knew bc she would be peeing all night lol and I know progesterone can mimic symptoms we have when we are pregnant so I am wondering if that is why I am peeing constantly lol especially at night, that's the worst, during the day I am not as bad.

Soooo will you updated us once you ??? I need to know lol SOOOO excited for you

 

[Amcolecchi]

Jazzy is your blood test today?!?! GOOD LUCK FX FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[karena547]

Good luck Jazzy!!!! Again...I will be stalking the boards to hear some news, can't wait! I have a good feeling for you - good luck!!!

Amcolecchi - how are you feeling (2ww feeling and sinus infection?) Are the meds helping the sinus infection? Any new 2ww symptoms?

Happy Friday!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Karena, I am getting along..All the meds I am on are safe to take during pregnancy, but I still feel bad for taking the pills, you know? But oh well, I need to keep my body healthy for the baby (that I hope is growing) lol...I did read on this site https://www.bellybelly.com.au/pregnancy/pregnancy-symptom-sign-of-pregnancy that nasal stuffiness is a prego sign!! HAHA I hope this is right lol!! The only other symptom is my boobs hurt yesterday but today they don't...so I am hoping that is a sign of prego and not AF!!! How about you any other signs besides the peeing alot (which I have too! )

I like that site...I know what I'll be doing today! lol I know what you mean about taking the meds but the good news is that at this point the fertilized egg is prob just making its way to our uterus to implant (Hopefully!) so it won't cause any harm...but I think I would feel the same way if I were on meds too!! Just hang in there and get better bc that is really important!

No other side effects for me, yesterday I was really tired, but the day before I had a lot of energy, so who knows what today will bring! I did wake up last night with a lot of cramping on my left side (which is the side I def ovulated from) soo not sure what that was all about! Other than that - just trying to keep busy to make time pass but that isn't working so well lol

 

[Amcolecchi]

HMM the left pain could of just been implantation pain? Or nothing. Sometimes I think I have symptoms when I don't, does that make sense?! lol! Ahh I am excited to hear your results though! We did our IUI's the same time and my doctor didn't make a blood test for me. He told me to test March 3rd and go from there. But I am supposed to call them with the results...what about you?

 

[karena547]

I think it might be too early for implantation, I think it usually happens 7-10 days after ovulation, but I would love if it was that!!! Oh yes - even when we were TTC naturally, every 2ww I would have all these symptoms...or so I thought I had all these symptoms only to get a BFN so I know EXACTLY what you are talking about lol I think it is just the hope in us and us trying to be positive that something amazing is happening down there!

My RE said I should go in for a blood test 15 days after IUI which is a Sunday so they made an appt for me Monday March 4th at 8:45am. I know they are open on the weekend bc I have been there 3 times on the weekend for monitoring and tons of women are there so I dunno why they had to schedule me for Monday!! Oh well - I will end up testing at home anyways before that lol I am trying to get to next Friday and then I will probably have to POAS since I am an addict lol

I am thinking that if you get a BFP (FX!) that they will have you go in for a blood test then?

 

[Amcolecchi]

Ugh I hate that! I know my place is open on weekends too because both my IUI's wer on Saturday and Sunday! So you think you will test next Friday? I only have two pregnancy tests left so I was thinking one on Sunday and then if BFN use the other one if I miss my period (which should start Monday, March 4th) I am not sure if I get a BFP if I go in? My mom is a nurse so I could just go to her place and do the blood work there and then just tell the fertility specialist the outcome.

FX for you!!! and lots of

 

[JazzyFresh]

Good morning, ladies

How are you two doing? Progressing through your TWW? Amcolecchi, I hope you feel better soon sweetie. I really wouldn't stress over the medication. You already know that it is ok, and like Karena said, the important thing is getting you better! Karena, I was having all kinds of weird cramping and sensations starting a few days after the IUI. Drove me up the wall with trying to figure out if it was hormone meds or something beautiful was really happening.

Well, today is my blood test day. I am just anxious for the wait to be over. My DH thinks that this is the 1st IUI so lets not get our hopes up. I am 75% convinced that I am pregnant. I just am scared that I will get a negative and just look at myself as crazy over all the symptoms I have been feeling. It's 8:36am for me now and the test is at 11:15. Last time it took til like 2pm for them to call with the results (progesterone test). UGH the wait!!!!

 

[karena547]

Oh my DH says the same thing, but one minute he is like - it's only the first IUI so dont' go crazy on me if it doesn't work, and then the next minute he is all, you are so pregnant lol drives me a little crazy!

I am sooo excited for you today!!! I feel like the wait today for the phone call might even be worse than the 2ww! Please let us know when you find out! I am only thinking good thoughts for you!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Thanks Jazzy!!! OMG I am so excited for you!! I agree with Karena, waiting for that phone call will be worse than the 2ww!!! FX for you!!! I want to see a BFP from you!!! Will this be your first?

OMG... MEN!!! lol. You know what it is though to me, I think the whole IUI process is so invasive and just appointment and meds and testing and arrrrgh. I don't think our DH's really get what we have to go thru. I mean, yes they do the SA. And I do appreciate it... lol... it's just they have that and then what? Meanwhile we are getting prodded and inspected and then HORMONE meds!! lol.... just my thought process....

Yes, today is tortuous. I am OBVIOUSLY at my wits end. lol.

 

[karena547]

Oh yes - I have to agree with you Jazzy!! My DH is wonderful but there are moments where I am like...do you realize I had to go to 4 monitoring appts...an hour each way away, while working? And the 4 meds I was on, not fun...oh and when they couldn't find my cervix and my doc thought they couldn't do the IUI and tortured me, really really not fun...and what did you do...you gave a sample lol

I actually think that my friend that I told this about is worse, she is all let's do something this weekend with the kids and I am like, do you not realize, I don't feel good, don't really want to be around kids (and hers do not behave that well...with my moodiness lately it is not a good combo) oh and I haven't got an 8 hour night sleep in a month, try 4 hours!! I can't stand when other ppl are all, ohhh I only got 6 hours of sleep, I am exhausted...really? Try 4 hours every night for a month bc of hot flashes right lol

I swear, the progesterone is the worst with my moodiness, I am a complete b**** on it and don't have a filter lol ugh!

Thanks Jazzy!!! OMG I am so excited for you!! I agree with Karena, waiting for that phone call will be worse than the 2ww!!! FX for you!!! I want to see a BFP from you!!! Will this be your first?

Thank you!!! yes.. horrible wait!! lol. It is my 1st IUI. I actually got a BFP a couple of years ago that ended early in M/C.
