Nicker - Nice job on the first page.

AFM - I have a scan on March 1st to look and see if I am cooking an egg. I hope to inseminate the following week. FX for me. My HCG level was 19 yesterday and 147 exactly one week before that. I am hoping it will be zero by tomorrow.

Haj - I am doing acupuncture too and my first appointment is Monday after work. I am looking forward to it.

I hope everyone is doing well!!

Let me know how its goes. I've been interested in it but the whole idea of getting needles stuck in me scares me lol

I am doing acupuncture and I LOVE it! I have always been terrified of needles, but I don't have a problem with this. I always ask what each needle placement is for and it seems to help me relax (and has also helped with my migraines!).

If you decide to do it, let me know how it goes!

Nicker - I love your plan! I think it's perfect! YAY for your follies! FX that everything goes great tomorrow!

Sibling, what were your symptoms! List list!!!

I posted these a while back:

Thought I would post the symptoms I had in the tww, because I obsessively searched them out while in my tww!

CD 13 - iui
1 dpiui - cramps
2-6 dpiui - gassy, bloated
7dpiui - tired - thought it was just from the Prometrium
8-10 dpiui - had a few spells where my heart felt like it fluttered and I had to catch my breath (never happened before and has happened a few times now, including again last night!), mild lower back pain, mild cramps, tight feeling stomach - like I just did a whackload of stomach crunches - which I definitely did NOT do! A few nausea spells here and there - but thought it was from the Metformin, which can do that to me too. Oh and "tingly" nipples.
11dpiui - fmu - such a faint line on an Internet cheapie that I think I am imagining it!
11 dpiui - 7PM - a super, super faint, but visible by another person line on an Internet cheapie
12dpiui - 3AM - BFP on FRER!!!!!
13dpiui - I did another Internet cheapie and the line is still so so so faint - I think those tests suck! I am going to go buy some more FRER's so I can see if my line gets darker.
"Hello my name is Cyndy and I am addicted to peeing on sticks, in cups, sometimes on my hand!" lol

I posted these about thre weeks ago. My symptoms now are nausea, still some cramping on and off, and sore boobs.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if it would be okay if I join this thread . We are due to have our 1st IUI in March and am trying VERY hard to remain positive about the whole thing

Welcome Molly! So glad to see you are getting started. Sorry ladies I'm quite behind on the thread. Congrats to the bfp's and to the ladies waiting for their next cycle. Other ladies on their 2ww I hope you all get bfp's very soon!!! I will try to keep up with everyone while I wait for my next step in all this.

 

[froliky2011]

Welcome Molly!!! Good Luck...I am getting my 3rd IUI in March. Be realistic & try not to have high expectations the first go around. The doctor is learning your cycle etc. Relax and stay positive.

Haj - I will. By the way, how can you be scared of needles and go through this? We get so many betas etc. and I feel like I am constantly being poked by the darn things. Hopefully you won't have to get used to it though and you'll get your BFP, but they will still monitor you with several betas to make sure all is moving along well. Good Luck!!!!!!!

 

[haj624]

I'm not afraid of needles I just couldn't imagine being poked with so many at once. I'm not getting any bloodwork right now

Hello everyone,

Today was my first beta - Little Peanut is doing well! HCG was 247 on 15dpiui. The next one is on Friday. After that I will go back to the clinic the week of March 19th for an ultrasound. My file will then be transferred back to my GP for referral to an OB or Midwife. It's still so hard to believe all of this!

I hope it's ok that I still post here - I am still cheering for everyone else and hoping everyone gets their BFP's soon!

 

[froliky2011]

Mama - Totally stay!!! We need those "mama vibes" to rub off on us!! So glad to hear you have great numbers. How fun!!

I posted this on the other thread and wanted to share:

I usually do yoga and exercise but the last three nights all I want to do is have a glass of wine and take a bath. Tonight I took a bath and was shaving my legs and looking at my body and thinking about Tella's quote "If you don't believe in miracles, perhaps you have forgotten that you are one." We are all miracles. Our bodies, the way they move and how complex they are. I was thinking about how lucky my mother was to carry me to full term and that I have lived this long and have a good life. What more can a parent ask for? Truly a blessing! I hope I get a blessing like that. to everyone!!! I love you guys!! OK, group

I would be sad if you didn't still post here! After all tomorrow I will be posting here and I will be pregnant LOL

 

[froliky2011]

Nicker - I am a very generous person... almost to a fault. If I could I would send you a few grand to help take the financial stress away so that you could just work toward your goal without worrying about money. It's not worth worrying about money, but I know it's easier said than done. I hope this is it for you so you don't have that stress anymore!!!! vibes~~~~~~~

I'm definitely trying to not get my hopes up! Our fs told us if dh's numbers are still low then she won't even proceed with the IUI...does anyone know if they can still do it if we request it? I mean I'm still under the impression it only takes one sooooo maybe?

 

[mamadreams]

Thanks for wanting me to stick around! I love this group! I just wish we could physically meet and hang out.

Nicker - you will be pregnant tomorrow -PUPO!

Molly - I used frozen sperm as I did this on my own. However, my straight friends swear that Pomegranate juice helps sperm count - it's worth trying! Good luck!

 

[Nicker]

Thank you everyone for the vibes and dust. arrived this morning. IUI tomorrow at 11:00 I am still feeling confident.

Frolicky. Thanks so much. That is sweet of you. I will not need anymore rounds. I am 15.5 hours away from being pregnant.

 

[Nicker]

Frolicky your next bean will be sticky and healthy!!!

Really??? I'm going to check that out! I have him on a vitamin cocktail of 2,000mg of vitamin c (fs orders) per day as well as a one a day multivitamin specifically designed for me....I hope we at least get the numbers we need to have the procedure done! Other things in concerned about is spotting after O that lasts until AF arrives. I have bloodwork done that showed everything looked good progesterone wise so I'm not sure what's going on but I'm scared it's my uterus lining breaking down early. Unfortunately my fs isn't concerned or worried about that though....gooooo figure!

 

[fertilesoul]

Molly, if you're paying cash upfront for your IUI cycle, then they're likely just going to offer the IUI regardless of his sperm count. And you are right, you don't necessarily need the 10 million motile sperm that they want to see for inseminations. During my first IUI cycle, my DH only had 1.2 million sperm, they did the insemination anyways and told me I had to move on to IVF next cycle, but.... I got a BFP instead. Wishing your miracle BFP is right around the corner.

Hi ladies,
It's been a while since I last posted and so much has happened since.

Quick Update from my side:
I was extremely disappointed when AF showed up on 8th February after my 1st IUI on 23rd Jan. I was extremely low and could not concentrate on anything and cried for almost 2 days straight. I felt so bad for my DH who was there by my side all the time supporting me!

I was also relieved and excited to start the new cycle though!
Today went for Ultrasound (CD 15) and had one follicle (25mm), got the HCG shot and going for IUI #2 tomorrow!!

Nicker, we will be IUI #2 buddies!! Can you please add me to Page 1.

Baby dust to all you ladies out there waiting for a BFP!!
