Iui November buddies?

[Beemama321]

Hello Ladies! Is it too late to post here? I just had my first IUI on November 15th, and I am now in the wretched 2ww... I had a pretty good feeling about things when we first had it done... seemed like the timing was good, his numbers were good, and the dr. seemed pleased with everything he saw in me.. but now, 6 days later, I am feeling a little discouraged.. I was hoping for some major pregnancy symptoms by now, but not really having any. I have been very tired, some lower back pain, stuffy nose and headache stuff, and cramps last night while sleeping, but no breast tenderness, or nausea etc.. Anyone 6dpiui with me? Would love to hear your symptoms/experience!

Welcome to the 2ww from hell! My iui was on the 10th. I test officially on Saturday and if it's still positive, which right now it is at 11dpiui, I got for Beta tests on Monday. So fingers crossed! Oh, and my breasts just started to become tender... don't let symptoms or lack of them sway you! Good luck!!

@BeeEssKayEss Thanks for the reply! Congrats on your BFP!! That is so exciting Did you have any symptoms in the earlier period of your 2ww? I took a test today (just to see if the trigger shot was out of my system so I would know later if my BFP is the real deal) it was a faint positive...even though I knew that it was just because of the trigger shot, I was still oddly excited... first time EVER seeing a positive in 5 years... even though it was a false positive I know, I'm so screwed up... ANYWAYS... my point was.. if I got excited after a known false positive, I can't even imagine what you are feeling with a real one!! Hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!!

You're not messed up, I'm the same way. I tested out my trigger to about 6-7 days post trigger with faint positives. Then for 2-3 days I had complete stark negatives. Then on 9DPO I tested positive on an internet cheapie, a FRER, and a FRER digital and all became super positive. But the doctor's office just chastised me for testing before 2 whole weeks were up, and now I'm freaked out that I'm not really pregnant and it's the trigger shot still in my system. Oh well. Trying to stay positive till I retest when they said to on Sat, then I got for bloodwork Monday. EEEEKKKKKKK!! I'm freaking out.

BSKS and everyone else in the TWW, I have my fingers & toes crossed for you all

First bloodtest Friday for me & they will schedule my follie scan.

Hi ladies.. Good luck to all of you and congrats on the BFPs so far

I had my first ever IUI today with 8 million spermcount postwash.. From what ive been reading that number doesnt sound great but they said anything over 5 million was good.. I dont know.. Anyhow i want to keep positive, it could happen!!

Oh, Becka, that happened to us for our first IUI, too. But it DOES happen, so keep positive. Our 2nd IUI had MUCH better post wash results, though, so if your first one doesn't take, I know your second one will! Good luck!

Thanks Kat S!! I am trying to keep positive and I think we'll have to schedule some baby making sex for this afternoon and hopefully increase our chances!!

That's great about your post wash results for your second IUI, sounds very hopeful!

Hi everybody,

I just spent some time catching up with everybody's stories.

BeeEssKayEss!!!!!! MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope you have a sticky!

Welcome to all the newbies and thank you for sharing your stories. I really look forward to hearing baout BFP's and symptoms and also the annoyances in 2ww and the darn BFN. Sorry to the bfn's if you're still here.
We were also told that our clinic would be closed over Christmas and they gave us the option to go straight into a second iui cycle. I was pretty happy about this as it has cut our iui 6mths trial down to 4mths. They have committed us to 3 iui cycles, with the plan to have the month off in between cycles. So if we don't hit it this cycle, then our next iui #3 will be in jan and then after that we will head to ivf for sure.

As far as symptoms are going, our first iui cycle last mth gave me a tonne of symptoms! I was really confident that we had a BFP, realllllllllllllllllly achey bb's, bloated, nauseas, sooo tirrrrrrrred and hungry! But, also we didn't do the trigger properly last cycle. DH does my injections (can't do them myself) and he only pushed the first part of the trigger in, but we still did the iui the next day at the hospital. My luteal phase went for 17days (ugh) piui.
So this cycle we made sure we triggered. I had my u/s and I had a really big follie at 21.3 on one side and the othe was at 13. I drove home and they called me straight away to do the trigger! trigger was done around midday. Then we did iui the next morning around 10am. I had cramping later that afternoon. Also the iui did not hurt at all last time, but this time it was painful as it went into the uterus.

So now the 2wwwwwwwwwwwww waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Can't believe I am only 2piui... Already feels like 10dpiui...

Hi my name is Jessi,
I am new here and was wondering if there was room for me to join, I had my first IUI with Clomid yesterday and am now dreading my 2WW by myself and was looking for support, we have unexplained infertility according to our RE our numbers yesterday were really good so I am hoping that after our 5 year wait that this may be our month.

Glad you didn't have to wait as long! Looks like we're on the same testing schedule as I had my IUI on Tuesday. My mom had zero pregnancy symptoms both times she was pregnant, so I'm trying to keep from symptom spotting!

 

[Angelique1]

Welcome to you Jessi! Hopefully this is your cycle!

Yes I hear you Kat... The symptoms are identical to progesterone symptoms, and even more so on FSH Puregon meds, so for me they mean nothing, but I have oh so many achy things going on. I find the meds make the first two weeks of the cycle awesome, lots of energy and not bloated, healthy feelings. But the last two weeks are almost gruesome, and so tired.

Wishing you the best this cycle! I had my first iui with Clomid and trigger shot this cycle, and I'm 11DPO and super Positive on my sticks!!!! Monday I got in for BETA counts. Can't wait to keep track of you. Let us know how your feeling! Are you going to test early?

 

[kaimaka]

Hi ladies! I go in for my beta tomorrow. I still have not poas, one of the hardest thing to do in my life but I promised dh that I wasn't going to do it. The holiday helped too and I just kept myself busy. The good news is that af is still not here at 13dpiui. Last cycle af came early. Hopefully this time she stays away. Good luck to all still in the tww and congrats to the bfp's! My tww ends tomorrow. Can't wait!

 

[Maddy40]

Wow, so many here are post-IUI.
Becka, Rhays, Angelique, Jessi_Lou, good luck with the 2WW Hope we have some more BFPs brewing amongst you all
Kaimaka good luck for testing!

I am on CD9 (day 8 of injectibles) and going in Monday for my first scan of follies.

 

[Lucinda7981]

I guess I should check in with you ladies and congrats on all the BFP and of course lots of baby dust on those on the 2 WW.
Maddy you are on my same boat; Went in CD 10 to check follies on Wed but was told that it was still early as the largest follie was just 12. I'm due back Mon CD 17 to check again n hopefully this time I'm ready and will trigger that day

[rhays]

*sigh* 8 dpiui, no symptoms... I was wanting to test on Sunday (10dpiui), but now I am nervous, bc I don't want to see a negative. My brother has been in town for Thanksgiving and leaves on Sunday... I was hoping to be able to share the good news with him in person.. now I'm not sure. Anyone else a 8dpiui? Symptoms or lack thereof?

I am really going to try not to test early, this is the first time in over a year that I have hoped this much, I have symptom read and hoped but not this much and I am very afraid of the let down. but his count was way high according to the doctors and motility was outstanding so I can not help but hope
