Looking for TWW Buddies !

[jennlaurin80]

It's that time again...i didn't think i would get the positive excited feeling again.
Going in for my 3rd IUI on Saturday or Sunday. Will be starting my TWW...
Looking for some ladies to share the LONG TWW with.

anyone going through 2ww right now?  I actually got my IUI on 3/7 with the trigger shot on 3/5 - BUT I had to travel to Brazil for work, so now I'm just waiting - right now it's 15 dp IUI and 17 dp trigger.  I don't know if not having an AF so far is a good thing?  Part of me wonders if the trigger shot has ever not worked for someone...  

It's been a killer for me to wait and not do a single test the entire time.  Promised my husband I would wait until I got home (which would be 26 dp IUI) if I didn't have a period while here.  Really hoping I don't get one because I'm going to feel extremely alone if it does happen.  

Good luck to anyone else in the 2ww!  I guess mine is more like a 4ww....  and I'm already into week 3.

Hi,

I also had my 3rd IUI on 12th Jan 2011.
I had 2 mature folic 19mm on left side.
DH count was 5ml.
Hope this is our month.

Today m 12 day post iui. having light headache since past 2 days.
Generally I have headache when AF to come but this time it feels different. headache comes and goes.

hoping to get bfp this time.

I am not able to decide when should i test as i m afraid of BFN.

I am also having AF symptomps like vaginal discharge very light of white cream.

anybody has any idea?

baby dust to you all and good luck.

I am in my TWW.  I had my second IUI last Friday.  This round I had 2 days of Follistim because apparently I had already started the process on my own.  We were shocked!  Hubby had 18 million with 85% motility this time.  Last time he had high motility but count was only 4 million.  Between last IUI and this IUI he has been taking multivitamin plus zinc which my RE recommended.  2 days before my IUI, I had my ultrasound and blood work and according to my RE, I was already starting the ovulation process.  We did an HCG shot at my RE's office prior to the procedure.  I have PCOS.  This is my second marriage.  My hubby doesn't have any children and really wants a child.  I am hoping this second IUI gives us the BFP we are hoping for.  My doctor thinks things looked really good this round.  He said I had a great response to the Follistim.  I had several small follicles on both sides, but had one really big one that he monitored.  I am crossing fingers!  Does anyone know how early after the IUI I should feel any symptoms, and what symptoms would be more common?  The one thing I definitely noticed that when he said I was ovulating, I was feeling sharp twingy pains in the left side.  I didn't feel this last time.

Thank you for sharing that information with me. I am torn between trying injectables to increase the amount of follicles for a 3rd IUI or just moving straight to IVF. I am hoping this cycle takes, and I wont have to make that decision!

[Cubanmulatta]

I took the injectables for a week.  I was monitored every two days.  To be honest the injectables did hurt me a little after doing it.  It made me a bloated.  Now I'm doing the progestrone shots everynight and it can be a bit messy.

[10_07]

So I couldn't help myself, and calculated a due date.. which would be 11/03/10. I am hoping I didn't jinx myself since I am only 4 dpiui!

[10_07]

Nice to have someone in the TWW with me! I am 3dpiui. How are you feeling? How were the injectables? If this cycle doesn't work, we are considering being more aggresive next cycle. How many days did you give an injection?.. if you don't mind me asking... Here is to seeing that BFP!!! Good Luck!

[Cubanmulatta]

I guess I'll be joining this forum.  I just had my 3rd cycle of IUI this week.  The last 2 were with clomid and BFN.  This one was with injectables and it seem to do the trick.  Hopefully I'll get a BFP this time around.

I'm back after a little hiatus. It seems my computer got infected with a really cool virus that makes porn pop up like crazy. Which sounds funny until you have to hand your computer over to the IT guys because it is a work laptop! Then the funniness disappeared. Lukily the IT guys are really cool and were making jokes about it.

Quick question.,,,

Since we are trying again on our own after last months IUI BFN, and the fact that I have cysts left over. When do I start the OPK? Today is day 15, I haven't noticed any slippery changes down there yet *TMI*. Also do you have to use FMU? Or is anytime good?

Can you tell I haven't used these in awhile? I've always just relied on the RE to tell me what to do :)

Hope all of you are surviving your TWW!

Thanks,
Robin

Hello Ladies, I hope you don't mind if I join in on your discussion.  I began my TWW today, we went in to the doctor this morning assuming my DH sperm count was very low when in fact it's not that bad. The doctor stated after washing the sperm he was able to inject 8mil w/ 64% motility. I took Clomid 50mg for 4 days and 100mg for 1 day. I then took the HCG injection on Sunday evening.
We have been on this quest for almost 9 years and it so hard to see friends and family having babies with no problem and then to have people ask constantly when we're going to have kids is really hard. It's so nice to read your posts to see that you are all going through this also.
Good luck everyone!

[preggerwanabe]

just saw u were from cali what part i could refer u to my accupuncturist:)

[preggerwanabe]

accupuncture is amazing been doing that and herbs for about 3 or 4 months and possibly ovulated with just that but no pregnancy just about to start clomid but everything ive read says accupuncture and herbs in conjunction with western medicine increases ur chances of a healthy pregnancy so i figure its worth a shot right. good luck and lots of baby dust to u!

[10_07]

Loveday- Thank you...I am feeling a little better then when I walked out of her office. Hopefully I will not have to go back to her! I have been considering acupuncture but dont know where to go around here. We moved a few months back from a little city that was known for its acupuncture, but over here- I just don't know???

Leslie! You must be on TOP OF THE WORLD!!! You will have to post your ultrasound pics!!! Gives the rest of us hope!

[LandM2009]

So we got more good news-my second beta came back 1324!! We scheduled our 6 week ultrasound for February 11th! Very excited!!

I will keep praying for you ladies in the TWW!! I know how exhausting and frustrating it can be! SSBD!!

[Loveday511]

Yes he is very lucky!!!!  My family and I are counting our blessings and thanking God for not taking him from us.  Thank you so much for the prayers.  

I am trying to be very optimistic......but I must admit it is hard at times.  I can't believe the RE you saw was basically negative to you!!!  That is just horrible.  Don't even pay attention to them anyway cause that isn't "YOUR" regular RE.  Don't be doubtful just relax and think positive as much as possible.  Have you tried Accupuncture before?  I just started right after my IUI on Wednesday and it has done wonders for me, I highly reccomend it!  I have done 2 sessions so far and it has relaxed me so much and has kept me staying positive and in good spirits.  I always have a problem with stressing about everything but accupuncture has started to relieve that.  I went yesterday actually and it really helped me especially after the stress from my brothers accident and everything.  Well I wish you luck on this next IUI cycle!  You are in my prayers that you get your BFP!!!!!  And don't listen to that silly RE you saw! :-) tons of stickyglue & babydust!!!!!  

[10_07]

I am so sorry to hear about your brother's accident, It sounds like he is very very lucky!

I have to say I admire your optimism! I will be starting clomid tomorrow to prepare for my 2nd IUI. I was feeling pretty good until I went for my baselline ultrasound today. I did not see my normal RE and although she was pleasant- she basically told me even though I had a good response to the clomid last month, due to my AGE (I am 38)I am less likely to have "good" eggs. I wanted to cry. My regular RE had given me hope during my last ultrasound and said that everything looked good and that he didnt see any reason why I shouldnt be able to conceive. I thought for sure this would work, but after failure last month, and my visit today, I am very very doubtful.

Anyway.... I will send some prayers and good thoughts for your brother and Sticky Baby Dust to You!!!

[Loveday511]

Well this 2ww is going to be soooooo long I can feel it.  Today I feel pretty good 3dpiui!  I have a few cramps here and there but its the same feelings I had the last 2.  I only hope this will be a sticky one :-)  Well I also had a pretty crazy day today.....my brother was in a bad car accident lastnight driving home from work and fell asleep.  God is so good.....he is doing much better than we thought considering the particulars of the accident.  He does have 2 fractures in his spine but he is not paralyzed.  We hope he will possibly be able to come home tomorrow after therapy but we will see.....head trauma is so horrible.  So how is everyone doing in the 2ww.....I can't wait to see what the outcome is of this cycle.....I really pray this is the one.  Tons of babydust to everyone!!!!!!!!

[LandM2009]

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day! Take care! SSBD to all!

[jennlaurin80]

i still cant send u messages, maybe u blocked me by mistake? I checked and have noone on my blocklist.
That weight watchers is awesome, it really does work. It is hard for me to stick to sometimes because i get lazy at counting everything ! Good luck to you too.
I refuse to weigh myself when AF is here because it makes me depressed seeing the number go up for a feew days .
Good luck with your goal

[misslollipop]

Good luck with the weight loss,'im following weight watchers, except for today i had a blow out lol, i think 6 kilo is 13 pounds, so that's my aim, as that was the weight i was when i fell pregnant on clomid with my son.

Land- Good luck, can't wait to hear your blood work results
