Okay, so I admit I've been obsessing this cycle

Even though I don't think I have a chance of being pg, I admit I've been obsessing this cycle - again! I've got to stop this nonsense. It does not help me get pregnant! When I start IUI with acupuncture, I must not think this way. I really believe the obsessing keep us from conceiving!

That said, here are my "symptoms" (hee hee)
~I'm 8 dpo today
~Sore boobs (sorer than usual, both left and right, usually just the right)
~Cramps for the last 3-4 days
~Really achy lower back (never have this)
~Headaches every day for the last 3-4 days (could be allergies)
~Dizziness (had this 3 times, like a swooping feeling)
~Hungry (even after recently eating)

I have had a bunch of these every month, so it's likely absolutely nothing. I can't wait to do IUI and acupuncture. I'm really excited! C'mon nurse, call me already!

Hi Sue - Sorry. In one cycle of meds and two follies, it's = two cycles w/ no meds. Especially if some of our eggs are not so good after 35. You double the chances of getting pregnant. Some day two follies = "double the odds" but others say it's like "going to bat twice" in one month. Good luck.

Hey there,
We're not doing IUI because my RE said there would only be a 3% difference between it and BDing, so we opted to BD and save the $350. I bought 2 brands of OPKs, Answer and some digis. Hopefully one will work for me. They usually don't.

I typically produce one follie on my own and two with Clomid.

What do you mean "trying twice in one month?" I don't quite understand.

Sue with Clomid or any other drug. the theory is that even with just 2 follies, you are trying twice in one month. So that is why even 2 is helpful. Do you need an IUI or is this just a way to boost the odds?

OMG! You're having triplets?? I thought you were having twins. Did they just find another baby in there? I saw your docs are suggesting selective reduction. Whatever you decided is right. You and the babies just need to be safe, no matter how many there are.

I see Dr. Tsay on Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. I see him again on 10/7 and I should be Oing within a couple days after.

Be well...

Hi Sue

I don't believe in psychic stuff but at a street fair in NYC I had  a tarot club reading and she told me that I would be pregnant with multiples by end of year and here I am pregant with trips.  Like Amy I got pregnant the same month, it was 2 weeks before my transfer
