Spring/Summer IUI support thread

[NovemberRayne]

We aren't eligible for any help on the NHS as neither of us are infertile.. just no male partner. We were able to utilise fertility testing (which everyone is entitled to) and through that we thankfully got a slight concession on the cost. So a lot of overtime has been put into this haha.

We started around three years ago as well.. so, very excited to be here in the 2WW. It would be our first too...

I really hope you're pregnant this cycle it would be such a beautiful event, adding a new member to your family on your anniversary.

You've got me gushing now ❤

Tam and November you too are so cute.....I really hope three of us get ourid BFP'S next week....I'm going for my blood work on Sept 1st....almost there (is may test tomorrow lol)

Hope we all get our May babies!

I love this!!! LOVE! I am infertile-ish due to PCOS.. I don't really ovulate on my own. Lets alllll get knocked up!!! These boobs have been hurting a lot more this afternoon -- Fingers so crossed.... I am trying to think of fun ways to tell my hubby... any ideas you all have in mind for breaking the news to your spouses??

 

[NovemberRayne]

Aww there's so much love in here ❤
I have a little plan in mind to tell the wife, I've got it all ready & hidden at home haha

It's nothing elaborate, I have a newborn bodysuit that says 'Hatched by Two Chicks' 😂😂.. in my head I'll put it in a gift box with the BFP... mentally, this senario works.. The reality probably will be me just blurting it out all excitedly 😂😂😂

 

[dancingnurse2]

I will probably be so happy do not know if I could stick to a plan lol

My FRERs have arrived!!

I'm going to hold off on those until Monday and test with the strips.. I tried one this morning.. bfn but it's only just about 9dpiui today so wasn't expecting anything at all

 

[BabyReady13]

November I did the same thing this morning bfn but wasn't surprised since I'm also only 9dpiui

 

[NovemberRayne]

Babyready - did you test with a FRER?? We're both still early.. plenty of time yet!!! ❤

 

[TAM8313]

I totally tested this AM with FRER I am only 8dpiui. So of course it was negative. My nips still hurt.. But I am thinking its the progesterone suppositories... Trying to stay positive but I am feeling like it didn't work.

 

[NovemberRayne]

It's still very early Tam8313 - stay positive, we're not out just yet xxx

I'm still a bit scared to use my frer yet, but don't have complete faith in my ICs lol

 

[dancingnurse2]

I understand Tam, though I am only 5dpiui yesterday completely felt in my heart that it worked. Today though nothing, other than being exhausted.

 

[NovemberRayne]

I think I may have a squinter 👍

Tested with FRER.. but I only slept 4 hours(ish) so it's more of a hold than fmu.. it's so hard to capture with my phone but I could see it within the time given... I hope it's not an evap!!

I've added a pic.. I don't know if anyone would be able to see it too.. I don't want to get excited.. I only have one more so I'll wait until test day.

Yesterday I started feeling a lot more than I have the entire 2WW. I was really burpy (sorry) and had on and off cramps all day. I was constantly snacking because my stomach felt queasy.. still cramping here and there.. I hope it's all a good sign..

We're almost in the final leg Babyready, how are you feeling.. any more tests?

 

[TAM8313]

I cannot see it -- It could just be the picture tho! I would test again in a day or two and hopefully you see a much darker line. I have my Beta in 2 days(which will be 12dpiui)... I am nervous... don't really feel like this IUI worked and all my symptoms are from the progesterone suppositories I have been using -- hopefully I will get a nice surprise on Weds afternoon but I am trying not to disappoint myself.

 

[NovemberRayne]

TAM8313 - that's okay it was a squinter in real life too haha I'm going to give it a couple more days before doing it again.

Good luck for Wednesday... I'll be hoping and praying for a BFP for you

 

[TAM8313]

Ok... So today I was just blah...very sleepy I figured its a case of the Mondays, still have a slight headache, tender boobs, light cramping, ect... 9dpiui after work test... There is a super faint line!! Get darker baby!!

 

[Aayla]

eeek. TEST PORN!! I think I may see a little something November!! I'm so excited for you all. I don't think I could take it if you waited 2 more days!! and I love your little onesie. that sounds so cute!

Tam: your symptoms sound promising but yes progesterone can mimic symptoms as well. I had symptoms starting at 3dpo last time and by 6dpo they were full on except nausea. Never got that. But I could smell everything and had wicked heartburn.

AFM: ovulation should occur at any time now. OPK's still negative but it is cd 18 and so it should happen tomorrow or Wednesday. I have been testing twice a day. once with fmu and then again around 12 hours later. We are on the everyday BD schedule now.

 

[Aayla]

TAm: I see it!! oh my god oh my god!!

 

[dancingnurse2]

Fingers crossed. Team and November did y'all do trigger shot?

 

[TAM8313]

I am going to test again in the AM but yes I did my trigger the same day of my iui (actually after the procedure) bc my lh levels shot up fast. I am getting excited now... After almost three yrs and a miscarriage this is a welcomed sight
