TWW Support group to help get you through the nitty gritty...and beyond

[Renaendel]

So glad you are getting things figured out. A few recommendations from my lap last year.

Things that made my lap easier

Spoiler

1. If you ever have issues with constipation go pick up a bottle of miralax now. It will be a life saver. The pain killers will slow things down, the anesthesia will slow things down and the scope poking around near your bowels will slow things down.

2. Have a little pillow available to you for a few days after surgery. If you hold it to your tummy it won't hurt as much when you have to cough, pee or sneeze, or when trying to poop.

3. Accept the pain meds they supply you with and be sure to not stop them too early. I made that mistake thinking I was ok and it took a whole day to get the pain back under control.

4. Keep low sugar snacks handy. Stock up on cranberry juice before you go in to help prevent uti issues from the catheter.

its weird the 2ww goes slow and fast at the same time, i beleive that the trigger is definitely out of my system today, hpt is -ve, stark white this evening. its been a tough one this time around for me. last time, my whole family situation was more stable, now my dh is away most of the time taking care of his dad and because of that it just feels 'different'. i worry too that carrying my baby everywhere might hurt my chances for a bean to 'stick'. for some reason last time i felt more hopeful...even though i only had one lonely egg, i felt the timing of the iui was way better, this time i feel we were off by a whole day, which as you all know makes a difference especially with older eggs and older sperm too. when i saw those two beautiful eggs, perfectly round and healthy left over after our b2b iui on the screen, i really wondered all the what ifs and its made me nervous ever since...even the fact that i had to give myself the trigger...it just didn't feel 'right'. at the first of the b2b iui's the nurse seemed to be trying so hard to get the tube up, i didnt' feel she widened my canal enough with the speculum, wheras the next day with the doc, well she opened me right up and it was a done deal within seconds. and then i got this weird burning in my vagina for 2 days after, had to use cold packs thankfully resolved. but weird. a couple nights ago i had strong twinges that woke me up from my sleep, and i thought 'okay, i'm out'. aghhh...trying to be as positive as i was the last time, but i do feel a bit discouraged that the whole procedure just didn't go as smooth as the last time. go in for b/w for progesterone level on thursday and then preg text march 6th. (*ment--my last iui i got +hpt by 9th/10th dpiui depending on which day you count from--1st iui or 2nd*)

hoping for the best for all of us this round!

[Nitengale]

Just popping in to say hello! How are you ladies doing?

 

[sandilion]

Sandillion[/B]. Sometimes it's ok to stress. If stress really caused as much infertility as people say then you would see a drastic decline in births around times of war and you don't. I tend to ignore those ladies who stress and say relax and it will happen. It is a lot of confirmation bias and woo peddling.

Ah good point! Thank you! Thats a positive way to look at it!


j_dennis_84 - Congrats!!

Mrs.Burch - good luck lovey!

I am amazed I have seemed to not feel the desperate need to test yet until i have reached the day my period it meant to start ... I almost bought a test tonight, but then decided nope.... i must wait this one out this time, so if i have another chemical i wont realise and wont feel so bummed. Id rather not know... and just think its a period.

So I POAS this morning on a whim...

Maybe a squinter? Since my last heartbreaking disappointment with wondfos I am very wary...

I was so shocked!! I did two because I was worried it was wrong. I thought digital only worked later...

I guess I ovulated early and didn't know because I wwant temping.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Perse-thats what happened when I got pg, didn't temp and obsess (as much). I'm so totally happy for you. Are you going to continue to test or wait and see your dr/mw?

I have an appt with Dr. Bob on Thursday, but I did test again this morning because I woke up freaked out that it was a glitch in the tests. Lol still pregnant. I don't have any other tests then the digital ones so I feel confident. Also the two wondfos I had this morning barely registered at all. I would really not recommend them. Way too confusing!

Also not a ton of symptoms either, my breasts are killing me and I have some twinge-y pain in my lower belly.

I think most of the cheap tests are crap. The dollar store tests and strips I bought online weren't as dark as the control line until 5 wks while the frer were by 14dpo.
Sore tatas are a great early symptom as are the twinges. The real symptoms dont really kick in until your hcg is higher. I'm doing a little dance for you!!!!

Thank you Ready!! I'm still kind of in shock, and I'm kind of scared that something will go wrong but I'm just trying to go about things like normal and hopefully it all goes well.
