IUI-looking for a 2WW buddy

[LandM2009]

I had my first IUI this morning (Saturday) after getting an HCG (Pregnyl) shot on Thursday. I can not test until November 29, 2009. I am hopeful, but not sure what to expect. My husband has two varicoceles and I have PCOS. We just happened upon a viable follicle on Monday when I had my first consult with the RE. She was surprised too. My husband's sperm wash showed good motility so we shall see. So far since the shot I have had headaches and a little tired. Don't want to get fooled by the HCG symptoms as pregnancy, but I know it will be hard. I also have to take the Progesterone capsules vaginally starting Sunday night b/c my uterine lining was a little thinner than she wanted.

I did hear that progesterone can prolong AF's arrival. I know how frustrating that must be to hear. I only have a few more days before I can test and I'm not a regular girl anyway so who knows if AF will show up.Try to keep yoruself busy and think positive thoughts! I will be praying for you!

Oh, one more question, were you taking suppositories or some other form of progesterone? Today is such a weird day compared to others. Today would be 13 days past the HCG shot and 11dpiui so I'm assuming the HCG shot is out of my system. However, today I felt an overwhelming nausea, moreso than normal. I know that can be a side effect of Progesterone too. I'm so confused b/c I don't know if this is evidence of a BFP soon or just my body still responding to Progesterone.

If anyone else has experience with the HCG and the Progesterone suppositories I would love to hear your experiences. Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Take care and here's to many BFP's this month I hope!

Today I am 16dpiui and went to the doctors for my BW. Apparently I have to wait until the morning to get the results! Arrgghh, one more day of waiting! Anyways, while I was at the doctors I was told that the progesterone I am taking can prevent AF from showing up, so they didn't seem that surprised that it hadn't come yet! I was feeling good before I went to the doctors and now I am afraid that perhaps it will be a BFN. Apparently when you stop taking the progesterone that's when AF will show up. It doesn't work this way for everyone but many wont get AF while on the progesterone. I never knew this, so all along I was happy that AF hadn't reared its ugly head but really it doesn't matter? Oh well, tomorrow I will know one way or another. One more restless night of sleep.

Hope everyone else is hanging in there too. Wishing you all BFP!!
