PCOS ~ I was drinking from my water bottle while I read your response and needless to say the water was sprayed all over my comupter!

You made me laugh so hard... thank you

better than barf

August, how exciting!!! I hope this is it for you!

Well I had my monitoring appt this am...all went very well. Doc said we won't trigger early but everything's looking good. So I can't figure out why I'm feeling ....disappointed?? My lining is at 8 and doc only measured my 7 biggest follies. 3 on the right at 17, 16, 16 and 4 on the left at 17 and three 13's. We'll probably do retrieval next wed so hopefully only 3 more nights of shots, then trigger. Fxxxxx

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Good luck August!!!

I feel absolutely nothing, other than super bloated. But that's from the progesterone. Tired of looking preggo and not being preggo! But I got myself some handy elastic waist jeans today!

pk2of8, GOOD LUCK!

Have you tested yet adroplet?

How are you feeling today Springy, less bloated I hope?

 

[Snowbunny]

Hey all - can I join in?? Had my first IUI today and I feel surprisingly good. I did a trigger last month and the pain was crazy - did a trigger yesterday and totally different. Maybe it's the clomid last month and gonal-f this month? Either way, much better lining this month at 8 compared to 5 on clomid. Let the 2ww begin.

Hi Snowbunny, welcome!

So glad you had a good IUI experience! I also had pain on Clomid. Almost went to the ER, it was so bad.

Maybe you can have your test date added to the testing date list.

Thank you girlies... I did get a bottle of ginger ale at lunch and some crackers because this is down right crazy! I even bought lunch from my favorite Amish Market but couldn't eat it because it tasted.. weird?!?!

I tested yesterday after lunch and it was negative, but I tested just 15 mintues ago and theres an ever so faint line there.

I hope this is it.

I ALWAYS am sick prior to a bfp!

By the way - has anyone else gained weight throughout these drugs?

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Uh, YEAH! defo gained some weight. I'm up 4 or 5 pounds. I've been walking every day trying to keep everything to a minimum, but it just doesn't seem to help.

Hey you! How was the IUI yesterday????

I have gained EASILY 5 to 7 pounds this month. I am less bloated today but than I have been the rest of the week but I am still uncomfortable and yes I have been eating a lot of junk food but I don't think 5 to 7 pounds worth!!!!!

I actually joked with my hubby that if this is what being preggo feels like then its going to be a long 9 months of complaining for me!!

How many follicles did you end up with??

 

[Touch the Sky]

i've also gained 10 lbs since this journey began 6 months ago, although i was able to lose 4 recently.. but it's so frustrating!

 

[Touch the Sky]

hi ladies, just wanted to tell you that i'm giving acupuncture another whirl tomorrow. the nurse who was with me for the retrieval referred me to someone who a lot of the patients there use. she will meet me at my clinic and do everything there. it will cost me over 400 bucks.. but at this point, with as much as we've spent... what's another 400 i guess.. i just hope it works

 

[PCOSMomToTwo]

I have gained 2-3 lbs since January. Not sure if its medication related or just stuff my face related. But while TTC my daughter, I easily packed on 10lbs. Now I have the mentality "why lose it if I'm going to get prego?" I'm not horribly over weight just need to lose about 8 lbs and I'd be a happy camper.

 

[Snowbunny]

I started acupuncture a couple of weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. The naturopath that does it recommended a book called 'the infertility cure'. I've ordered it from chapters. She said it will enlighten me...I'll let y'all know if that happens.

Did the IUI Friday morning - not bad, but definitely not comfortable. I started with 4 follicles and ended at 3, although one was likely too small. The two were 19 and 24 so fingers crossed one of them sticks.

Glad to hear your bloat is settling down and you almost have one week down of your 2ww!

 

[PCOSMomToTwo]

Ha decided to go back to reading my book "How to make love to a plastic cup" ... I stopped reading it because I became to consumed with TTC 24/7. Anyhow ... thought this was cute ...

It made me chuckle when I read "Congratulations, nothings worked". That is SOOOO how I feel!

 

[JanetPlanet]

$400 for acupuncture!!?? I pay $85 a session. I've been doing it every week since June. On Monday I had elctro-acupuncture. That was interesting.

I've lost 25 pounds since April.

Has anyone else had swollen joints while using fertility meds? My knee is super swollen. Probably not related.
