February IUI - Looking for Cycle Buddies!

[JazzyFresh]

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!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are SOOOOO in that same darn boat together!!! HILARIOUS This is the little guy inside me.. bring it!!! lol

I am soooo devastated. I really thought I was pregnant. Freakin' hormones I guess? Well, I stop with the progesterone and my period should come in a couple days. F/U appointment for next round on Tuesday. I hope I am emotionally ready by then.

O.M.G. I am soo, sooo, soooooo sorry!!! I can't imagine how devastated you must feel. If you need to vent at all we are here for you. I think you deserve a nice BIG glass of tonight, maybe 2 or 3 glasses. I will be thinking of you

 

[JazzyFresh]

Thank you, Karena. I think I will be indulging this evening. I just need to get a good cry in and process this. Had my hopes up way high. DH wants to fix me and have me hopeful right away for next month. I'm like wait... slow down.. let me feel this disappointment first and then be ready at that juncture.

I am sending you and Amcolecchi lots of baby dust. One of you girls had better be a BFP darn it!!! lol. HUGS!!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Heu Jazzy hunny I'm so so sorry!!! We are here for you and I definitely think you should take this time too emotionally let everything out and then get better by next wee!! Definitely take some time to cry, drink some wine we're all here for you!!!

 

[karena547]

Just checking in on you jazzy, thinking of you!

 

[karena547]

Amcolecchi - how are you feeling, any better? How long do you need to take the meds for? This 2ww is seriously dragging!! 7 dpIUI and cramping has finally stopped, still peeing quite a bit lol and having some moodiness, mostly with my friends but that could be bc they don't understand what we are going through. Sooo I am not super hopeful but we will see! Hope you are feeling better!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey Karena! I am actually feeling a lot better thank you!!! hahaha I don't you hate it when people don't understand we have to go through? The only thing is I had are my nipples are a little sore and peeing all the time too lol I can't wait to be able to test!! I got my FX for us!!!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey ladies!! How are you feeling? I am 100% better now, thank you!! Are any of you ladies getting crampy? I am getting some dull cramps so I am hoping this is not AF coming around the corner! Still trying to stay positive though!! Any BFP's yet?!!?

 

[karena547]

I am glad you are feeling better!!!!

Dull cramps might mean implantation!!! I had a sharp pain on my right side yesterday for like 10 seconds and then it went away...but I feel like with the meds I am taking everything is always working on overtime down there lol so who knows!

I am still hungry all the time, still peeing all the time lol and this morning I woke up to a lovely break-out which is the first time since this cycle started (other than the ovulation chin pimples lol) moodiness comes and goes. Overall, I just feel normal more than anything...so we will see!

I think I am going to take my first test on Friday!

Jazzy, hope you are doing okay, I think your follow up appt is tomorrow, we are thinking of you and are here for you. Let us know how the appt goes and what your protocol is for the next cycle

 

[Amcolecchi]

Karena-ahh I hope you are right!! Oh yes, that sharp pain could of meant implantation too!!!! FX for you!!!!! I know, I hate stupid meds, they trick our brain!!!

Last cycle-which was natural, no meds or IUI, my boobs were sore since ovulation to my period. So I feel better my boobs aren't sore hahaha!!!

I am very emotional, I cried the other day from a tv show...and I am not a crier! When I told my DH he was like, what? You cried? OMG you have to be prego! Hahaha....still way too early but we shall see..

Ahhh I am so excited for you to test Friday..I only have 2 tests left so I am too afraid to do them early!!!

Jazzy-yes we are here for you, I hope you had a great weekend, to go out and have some fun!!!

 

[Pnutsprincess]

Hey Ladies,
I am hoping to join you in the 2ww soon, I know you are going to be almost 2 weeks ahead of me. Ultrasound today to see if I am ready for the trigger shot. Praying you all get you BFP.

Jazzy~ I am sorry about you BFN! It will happen soon I promise.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Hi ladies .... THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT. I know that this is simply a forum and we all are technically strangers... but honestly, the support and understanding I receive from you all is SOOOOO appreciated. It's truly a sisterhood!!

Well, I am doing MUCH better emotionally. Had one hell of a weekend. Cried, got drunk, cried, and just really moody. But I think I got it all out of my system and I am ready for this new cycle. The AF is out of control heavy but taking meds and loving my heating pad. lol. Next consult is tomorrow and I am ready for it. New plan of attack or same method... who knows! We shall see

I am hoping and praying one of you gets a BFP... all the symptoms sound great. I believe in hope and encouragement... HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[karena547]

Jazzy...I think it is amazing how even though yes, we are technically strangers, I feel sooo much closer to you girls than anyone else (besides my DH of course) when we talk about these things...it is like an instant connection because only women in our situation can understand what we are going through and that gives us an instant bond!! We truly support each other and encourage BFPs even if we are unfortunate and get a BFN

I am so glad to hear you are emotionally doing better! The weekend plan sounds exactly like what I will go through if I get a BFN...I think it is a necessary step in moving forward. I actually heard that us girls that take progesterone suppositories end up getting really bad AFs because the progesterone is building up our uterus lining more than usual, so when it sheds, it has to shed more, giving us more cramping and a heavier AF....so yep, not only when we get a BFN we have to deal with that, but even worse AFs doesn't seem fair!

But I am sooo looking forward to supporting you through your next IUI! I can't wait to hear about your protocol/plan going forward!! I swear, most people that go to my fertility place got BFPs on their second IUI, I dunno if it just seems that way, or if the docs have a better idea of how our bodies respond to meds so they can change things/or keep things the same and know what to expect for a better cycle...OR if the second cycle is just better bc our bodies aren't shocked with meds! lol So keep your head up - sometimes second time is a charm, and I think it will be for you!!!

Keep us updated on the plan!!!
