IUI March anyone?

[Springy]

Springy- have you been running at all? We had our IUI on Friday and today I am REALLY feeling the itch to go run. I may go to the gym and at least do the eliptical. Feeling like a schmuck not going.

No! I'm dying but every time I think about putting my gear on I am so afraid that the bean won't stick. I know in my head that logically this is not going to be the case but I can't help it.

DH only wants me to go for a walk or a very light jog he's afraid too.

I am going to a Yogalates class today - combo of yoga and pilates! Tomorrow I am going to head out for a light 5K run. I figure if I ease back and keep my heart rate low I should be ok.

Have you been out???

No. i was ok and not thinking about it much until yesterday when I was chasing my niece in the park. I will probably go tonight for at least a light jog. I am traveling for work this week and I usually don't stick to training as much when I do so that won't be a big deal. Will hopefully make the week go quicker also.

I was traveling last month during the TWW and it really helped with keeping me distracted. I have filled my evenings this week to keep myself occupied! Dinner with friends on Wednesday might be tough as two of the girls are pregnant - 13 weeks and 15 weeks respectively. As much as I am thrilled for them I am jealous and angry that it isn't me!

Random question for you to occupy my mind during this 2WW (as I have about a million running around in my head) Have you girls changed your caffeine intake? I usually drink a coffee and 1 or 2 diet cokes in a day but am planning to take it down to just the coffee. Not sure when most people stop or if it can impact anything in this stage.

I usually have 2-3 cups of coffee per day and on the first day of my IUI i stopped cold turkey. I ended up feeling horrible all day, i had the worst headache. When I went in for my 2nd IUI, i mentioned it to my doctor and he told me not to stop. He said just have 1 cup of coffee a day. He said if i stop then it'll just make me sick with headaches and/or migraines. So now i have just one small cup and that works for me.


As for the running- I'm also a runner, i love running and I get so cranky when i miss a run. However, i decided to take a break for the 2ww. I'll go for a walk and maybe do some light weights. The doctor said there's pretty much no restrictions on my daily activities, but I should avoid any strenuous activity.

How's everyone doing?

Ok that makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one not exerting myself during the TWW. I did a yoga class today and it felt great to stretch and do some core work and then relax at the end.

I would have the worst headaches if I didn't have my coffee and since it is only my one cup a day I figure for the sanity of my coworkers who are already dealing with my emotional breakdowns sometimes the last thing they need is me being a complete witch b/c of coffee withdrawl

Swepakepa3 how are you feeling? Hopefully the UTI symptoms have passed.

Touch, I usually have awesome EWCM but this cycle, I was literally sandpaper dry. I used preseed a few times....had a little more natural cm yesterday and a little today but no where near what I am used to.

I hear clomid does that!

Well girls, alot of us are now in the 2WW! This will be OUR FINAL 2WW of 2011! We are going to get pregnant and have babies this year!


I can't wish for anything more than for all of us to get our BFP this month. Lots of luck to all of us

FYI - I am normally really dry and don't produce a lot of CM, and I don't think I have ever had egg white mucus. The Dr told me this month that if our issues are CM related it won't matter as the IUI bypasses the need for CM.

Than thats great news to be doing IUI!!! Where are you at on your cycle?...

Good lizlemon!

p.s. how come?

Home from the clinic - Six egg harvested and hopefully fertilized. Ended up having to have ICIS due to sperm. Very odd experience, but absolutly thrilled that got six eggs as I was convinced they would have all gone since friday's scan!

We were asked if we wanted to convert to IVF due to too many follicles for IUI as in UK 3/4 is max and 6 follicles is the threashold of making IVF viable due to the sedation you have to have. We said Yes please....just have to wait for the bill on Monday!!!!

So hopefully tomorrow I'll get a nice call say at least some have fertilized.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!

I had a complete meltdown today and it is only 8am here. My temp in the morning is creepying up and I guess i am just thinking the worse as this is not my cycle. I cried myself all the way to work this morning and just can't seem to shake it off. I try not to think of it, but tears just stream down my face... grrr. I am glad that nobody is at work yet and I just closed my office door just in case. I know once i drown myself into my work I should be fine for now, but it just sucks going from a good day to a bad day....

Oh no!!!! That is never a good way to start the day, especially a Monday! I don't temp chart but since I am now 7dpo and have NO symptoms I had a good cry yesterday too.

We need to try and stay positive and strong through the rest of the tww. Until AF shows up we need to believe the IUI worked and that we have buns in the oven.

Hopefully you can immerse yourself in work and get to a better place this AM. HUGS!!!

Hi ladies

I am 4dpo, and I was just wondering if there are any symptoms of a possible BFP this early on? I am not having anything at the moment, and I don't test til April 1. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping hoping hoping for a BFP! Just wanna know if there's anything that may give me a clue before 4/1

I'm just day dreaming ready through these threads...CAN'T WAIT to start doing treatment again ... just waiting impatiently for AF to start.

Anyhow, I did IUI, and I didn't get any prego symptoms till 10DPIUI--

RIGHT AT 10DPIUI
-My breast became VERY veiny, the nipple was covered in dark blue veins

By 12DPIUI (I got a BFP at 12DPIUI) Although I do not recommend testing early.
-every time I ate I wanted to barf and things that I loved before, tasted horrible to me.
-My nipples were HUGE and got very dark.

These were my only "early" symptoms. I never had spotting or implantation bleeding. In fact, my CM was always dry.

Good luck girls!!! Can't wait to be back here soon!!!

Hi Springy -- I never had any symptoms sooner than 10DPIUI, don't count yourself out!

I heard this word in BNB and now I live by it "PUPO"!! Everytime I went for treatment I was PUPO and I treated myself as it too!! It's amazing what mind over matter does for you. (Pregnant until proven otherwise).

May God bless you all very soon!

Thanks!!! This make me feel so much better. And I am going to go with the new motto of PUPO - way more positive way of thinking that the thoughts that run through my head on an hourly basis right now

Here's to hoping that in the next few days I develop SOME symptoms!!!

Hang in there you'll be having treatment again before you know it and your IUIs have been quite successful so we'll hope and pray that the next will be just as successful for you.

Thanks everyone! I am doing better this afternoon - My husband said sometimes he thinks I just need a good cry which i think this morning was that day! I like the PUPO motto and will start using it as well - thanks!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Me as well! I am excited to be PUPO!

 

[Springy]

I find a good cry always helps - kind of seems counter-intuitive but works for me! Glad to hear you're feeling better this evening.

Love that we are all adopting the PUPO! Can't wait to tell my husband that when he gets home this evening.

I am joining all of you in the dreaded 2ww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Good Luck to those of us who are in the 2ww!!!

 

[Miss Jennifer]

LOTS of OHSS pain today

 

[Touch the Sky]

Good morning ladies!

How is everyone feeling? I know a lot of us are in the 2ww.. it is dragging for sure!!

I have a question.. I am 4 or 5dpo (not sure exactly when I o'd), and yesterday I started having a very dull ache, almost like a cramping feeling in the right ovary area. Very similar to ovulation pain. It's a little more intense today.. any insight as to what this may be? A good sign maybe??

Lots of luck to all of us!!

Cramping can be an early pregnancy symptom so I would think at this stage its a positive sign!

This two weeks is dragging on! Trying not to symptom spot but at the same time I don't really think I have any symptoms so nothing to spot at this point and I'm 8dpo!
