OMM,
Congrats on the weight loss. I am impressed that you haven't starting testing yet. I think I started testing four days before my expected period, but I was always terrible about staying on the whatever wagon during the TTW. I am praying that this will be your BFP and sticky bean! Have a great weekend and keep us posted.
HA,
I just had to drop in and give you a bit of encouragement. I know what it is like to be in the grueling TTW after an IUI and you are right, it is different when it is a treatment cycle and you've been taking hormones to grow the follies, trigger shots to force ovulation while being monitored by your doctors. That part you feel like you and your medical team are doing everything y'all can and then after the insemination ... stop, wait, wait some more, and symptom spot, stress, and wonder how you will handle a BFN or AF if she arrives, and what you will do next for Plan B or Plan Z or whatever. And it's stressful for the husbands because they have had their time to "perform" and now they need to sit back and wait to be told how they did on their test. Honey, it sucks! There are no two ways about it. But, I was pretty cynical before I got my BFP. I was planning for donor egg IVF because by the time we could save the money for the protocol, I felt it would be too late for my "old" eggs. But, I had a lot of support from the women on here and from my DH (even though he sometimes drove me a little crazy with his seeming nonchalance about it all - he was just internalizing the stress while I was overflowing with it). Anyway, all this say, that we will be right here with you during the wait. And it doesn't matter how tired or cynical or anxious you are feeling, we will uplift you and you can still get your good result in the end. You know that it will happen for you. Why not this cycle? So, try a little PMA if you can. Once you have your BFP, you will be like me and up at 3 am posting on this thread because you didn't catch your nurse before the office closed with your genetic abnormality screening results and are worried about the babies.
Anyway, I love you ladies and I am very excited about all that the good baby dust floating around on here. For those of you still waiting for your sticky beans, it will happen for you. Your time WILL come! Hang in there.
Ok, I'm going to go back to bed and see if I can't catch a few more
