vk- I've heard a lot of people do have good luck with acupuncture, just weirds me out. Plus I still have no clue how to pick a "good" one. Thanks for sharing your experience! It's crazy that after your first session you actually had some cramping!! I never had cramping with clomid either. Yay for 1 good follicle!! Good luck on Sunday, it'll be here before we know it!
ttcmoon- how was your scan?
gingmg- you definitely had every right to be mad with your clinic! how does stuff like that even happen?!? a follicle at 16 on cd9 is very good! i know the hope is to have multiple follicles, but all you need is one really good one. so don't lose hope, yet! i would definitely ask for higher doses though if there is a "next time"
heath- you made it through the first half of the tww!!! yay! I think the second half is easier - usually because for me it's only 5 days (12 day lp), but I do get more anxious test. Any new symptoms show up since yesterday? I think it's a good idea to wait the full tww to test or at least until AF is due. When is AF due for you?
lovemytripawd- glad you are feeling good! your hubby is so cute, too! definitely make sure to take care of yourself, though. it's ok if the house gets a little messy and the laundry piles up (until you run out of clean socks and underwear)! keep us updated after your appointment next week!! Sending lots of sticky dust your way!
curni-
it sounds like it has been a rough day. so sorry to hear about your grandma. hopefully you can find some comfort that she is at peace and not suffering any more. and she's lovein on your
now! as for your iui timing- even if you ovulated later, the
will survive 24-72 hours (but from what I read- lose "potency" after 24). so they were probably still there if you ovulated later. I hate trying to figure out the timing of things. that's definitely been my downfall with these darn iui's.
nola- 5dpiui is still very early so don't worry if you aren't having any symptoms. hang in there! the tww will be over before you know it!
afm - 9dpo/iui and really do have sore boobs- very tender to any amount of applied pressure, but fine when not touched. they certainly don't look any bigger, though- and they are small, so i would notice (and rejoice) those things! i have been a little gassy the last couple of days too, but today haven't had a problem with that. yesterday i was ready to fall asleep at like 6pm, but feel better today. i also had some cramping yesterday but today haven't noticed any. it seems there is a trend - everything happened yesterday, but nothing today!! grrrr. the only thing that has been consistent is my sore boobs the last several days- and they seem to be getting MORE sore each day. hopefully it is not from my "testing" them out
i still can't make up my mind on when i should test. if i o-ed when i was supposed to the last 2 cycles, i've only had a 12-day luteal phase and so AF should be due on Monday... i think i will test either Monday or Tuesday if AF doesn't get me first. Any votes on when i should test?
