First IUI TWW....Testing 2/11...Impatient and looking for buddies. All are welcome!

[dojenstein]

Hi there. Me and the DF have been TTCing for about a year. I had an MC, so we know I can get PG but can I keep it? So after a year of BFN's we went to see a fertility specialist. He's got the personality of a frozen turkey but if he gets me knocked up who cares.

So we just did our first IUI on Wednesday. Which means today (1/29/15) I am 1 DPIUI (or 1 DPO). My doctor told me I can't test during the TWW because of all the meds I was on can cause a false positive. (And I'm a serious POAS addict). So now I have to wait out these next two weeks and I'm anxious, excited, nervous and annoyed.

I would love to find some nice cycle buddies who are in the TWW and just need some company and understanding. Please say hi!

Hi! I think we are on another thread together. My tee starts tomorrow I had iui today

LOL, yes we're in the Assisted Conception thread together. Haha. I'm the WORST TWWer so I thought I would start a thread. Mostly as something for me to do. If I can't pee on a stick I'll vent here.

I was really excited when I got the IUI but that excitement has faded. Maybe I've read too many stories about the poor statistics at my age and I feel less hopeful. Or that people have had better numbers than me and IUI still didn't work for them. I probably shouldn't read that stuff anymore.

Plus my DF is pissing me off right now. And I'm still full of hormones. So all of that combined is a bit much. Hopefully as the weeks progress I'll get more excited.

How're you?

same here. I was really stressed out until the UI and I felt really good afterwards amount now I'm kind of like blah. I think is just now wondering did it work. I wish there was a way To look in there and tell. I feel okay as far as symptoms and everything I take a boat load of stuff that they have me taking to sustain a pregnancy. Luckily we did end up BDing last night will try to do it again today just in case. I think it feels worse because leading up to iui felt like a two week wait didn't it? Will have another thing to stress over I'm hoping that my boss will give me time off on Valentine's Day weekend and then my husband are going to take our first cruise

Oh fun, where are you going on your cruise? I would love nothing more than to surprise DF with a BFP for Valentine's Day. But I'm testing the 11th and if it's positive there will be no way I could hold it in that long.

And you're so right. This whole process feels like a TWW. Waiting for AF, waiting to start the meds, waiting for the scan, waiting to trigger, waiting for IUI, ugh it feels like the waiting never ends.

And as I mentioned in the other thread, I got a BFN this morning on a cheapie HPT. I was so confused. I thought my doc said I would get a false positive. Could it be that the trigger is out of my system? I did get it on Tuesday so maybe so. But hated seeing that freaking BFN again. Grrr.

I'm only 2 DPIUI and already going crazy. I need a hobby.

Did you wait long enough? I tested today because I had one cheapie laying around. I though it would be negative but it was positive after a few minutes. And it looks like no cruise. Dh has to work. Hopefully they'll switch his days. I need a distraction. I wouldn't worry about the trigger

Well I just bought a FRER and gonna test it out and see what happens.

Sorry about the cruise Hope there's a vacation in the cards for you soon. I live in Chicago and we're supposed to get dumped on tonight and tomorrow. I'd love to get a break from the cold. And my office is freezing. My toes are cold. That's the worst!

 

[dojenstein]

Update: Okay, got a faint positive on a FRER so phew. I thought maybe the shot didn't take.

So while it was initially fun to get 2 lines on a FRER I know it's not real...boo. But it should be out of my system in a few days.

I feel bad for complaining now. I live in Florida it was a beautiful day today. My list test came in the mail so I may test out trigger
