Looking for cycle buddies/support

[katiecakes]

Hi girls...
I am currently in my 2ww after a trigger/IUI cycle. DH & I Did 2 months of Clomid with trigger and IUI, and this past cycle we had to eliminate Clomid due to a cyst. I am 9dpiui and I am about to go crazy. I feel so negative and so hopeful at the same time. I am looking for support- maybe someone in the same boat as me. I need someone to talk to~ I am just so tired of seeing everywhere. We were NTNP for 6 months and have now been TTC for 18 months.
Thanks, xx

 

[katiecakes]

oh, I should add that I am also on Endometrin progesterone suppositories.

I am 6dpiui today. This is our second round of IUI. My signature basically explains everything we have had done. I always promise myself that I won't go crazy waiting and obsessing but its so hard! When are you testing?

 

[Kats816]

I'm on round 4 of chlomid and currently in my two week wait. Particularly tough month as two of my best friends found out they are expecting within weeks of each other and had an awful bout of the chlomid crazies
Struggling mentally and am dreading AF on Friday
So tough isn't it guess you've got o keep going and try and keep positive

Katie - I hope you hear good news veerryyy soon, stay strong. I know its so hard especially seeing BFN all the time but we know stress is not good (Thats rich coming from me!) We are all here for you. I had a failed IVF and it felt so horrible, I cant explain it, I was so heart broken that I said I cant handle another round of IVF however after time passed I did want to do another round of IVF which I have just started (Im doing the pills stage so long time left). We are humans and sometimes we do get upset and there is nothing wrong with it but its the stress and worry that can be bad.
I hope all your dreams come true and all this wait it worth it for you and all those TTC.

Kats - Its true, sometimes the best just stand up be strong and move on the next stage however at times it feels like life is crushing on you especially when hearing the news of BFP of others. It is really tough. I hope everything works out for you and you have a little baby in your arms before you know it. xx

Hi guys, can I join?? Im in my 2ww following ivf egg transfer yesterday. Im on progesterone pesseries. Im not in work until Wednesday so trying to take it easy.

 

[YearningHeart]

Tink - Thats great! Wishing you good news! let us know how it goes. Yeah do take it easy, lots of rest and no stress. How is it going with the pessaries? I hate them so much.

 

[Tink86]

Hi YearningHeart, the pesseries are ok but definately messy. Im 4dp5dt and am suffering with back ache and cramping like when I am just about to start AF. From what I've read this is normal so just have to keep going

 

[YearningHeart]

Tink - Yeah I remember having the cramps as though AF will arrive but yeah they do say its normal. Glad to hear you are doing well the pessaries, I am dreading when I have to do it. Hopefully this time it does not be a struggle for me. x

Hi guys, ok if I join? Did IUI yesterday so in my 2ww.
I wonder where Katiecakes is, who started the thread? Hope you are ok Katiecakes, let us know how you are! You sound very frustrated with it all, we've all been there believe me! It's ok to be upset.
Kats hope u are feeling better now, always hard to hear others are expecting. I have struggled big time with my emotions since Christmas and my GP has put me on anti-anxiety drugs which seem to have helped.
Tink hope you are feeling better, I had cramps yesterday but today better. Fingers crossed.
Molly you might have a result by now like Katiecakes, hope it's a good one for you girls
YearningHeart sorry to hear about heartbreaking times with the IVF, you are so positive, glad to hear you have started the journey for the next cycle!
Hugs and baby dust to everyone! x x x

I'm on my sixth round of clomid after a four month break getting pregnant and miscarrying.. At the beginning of my tww...trying to find distractions!

16months ttc

britgirlspain - Good Luck with your IUI. I dont have much knowledge on IUI as I did not do it, but after the 2ww do you get results like in IVF? Sorry thats probably a silly question. I can be quite strong and positive at times especially when I am busy with other things but at times I just cry and cry and then feel better. x

diddy - Good luck, I hope it goes successful for you. Have you taken break from work/responsibilities for the 2ww? x

No breaks. The break I was referring too was the four month period I wasn't taking clomid. I did it for five months then was off for four.

I don't know that I could handle a work break it's one of the things that speeds up my day! I sleep bad during the tww I am up early for no reason and can't sleep. Days feel longer!

 

[britgirlspain]

Thank YearningHeart
Yes I have a beta HCG test in two weeks, April 3rd yikes! I have decided not to exercise much in the tww to see if it helps, I usually cycle hard about 5 hours a week. No alcohol either as last time the doc said I could have one glass of wine on my birthday but this time I will not have any.

Keep your chin up diddy!

love and hugs to all! xx

 

[YearningHeart]

diddy - Oh right ok. I have never taken clomid though once the gyn did say I would have to. Yeah I do agree, work definitely does speed up the day and one of the advantage of that is there is no time to think or get depressed with this struggle of infertility. x

britgirlspain - Thats exciting! Good luck, I hope it is successful! Yeah take it easy, dont over do it with the exercise. Keep us posted. x

The clomid has definitely helped with my issues, (not ovulating) just hope I can get pregnant before I have to move on to the next thing!

Hi girls. Sorry I have been MIA. The last 2ww was the worst. I swore up and down and left and right I was pregnant. I had faint lines for 7 days but they never progressed. I got AF on St. Patricks day. I am currently on CD 6 and day 4 of my first month with letrozole. It is def causing me to have an upset stomach. I am so hoping this will work- our due date is dec 23 if it works! Ahh Christmas baby! Lol

I hope that all of you girls are doing ok and that you have some good news by now. Thank you all for sharing your stories and struggles with me. It means so much to have support and know we are not alone

I will keep up with this thread more often now. I was trying to focus on something else but now I am back

Xx

 

[britgirlspain]

Katiecakes! You're back! Good to hear from you but so sorry to hear it was a BFN that kept you away! It is hard and it is a struggle, I can imagine it was horrible for you. Sorry to hear you are feeling rough, but it's all for a good cause!
I was just hit by a blind panic that I'm going to get a BFN this month, how am I going to cope waiting another 11 days? How am I going to cope if it's negative and I have to wait until about September for IVF?! Ahhhh! Sorry, probably not what you want to hear, me having a near meltdown.
If I get pregnant this month I will be due 11th Dec, we can have Christmas babies together! Fingers crossed!

Baby dust to all! xxx

 

[katiecakes]

Oh a Christmas baby would be so nice and I would love to be bump buddies with you!! I wish I had some advice for you about how to combat the negative feelings and how to get through the 2ww staying sane, but I struggle with this too so I have no advice. All I can say is I'm here for you and that when you figure out how to survive through it let me know!! Lol- hope you are well!!!
