how many days after iui would you get pregnancy symptoms OPEN

[HudgWife]

Well am I glad I came across this forum :) In just the few minutes of reading I feel like I finally have a place where other people COMPLETELY understand.
We are ending our 2ww this week....and I Know this cycle ( like the 5 before ) did not work...Ive tested, its negative, and Im spotting and cramping...Bleh...I never though it would go this far! Im 25! Im sure you all have said the same things! This was our 6th! 6th IUI! I just feel like Im crazy! Now its onto injectibles...Another road ... Im in my " ok onto the next stage, we can do this" phase...a few days ago I was in the " I cant even do this anymore" stage...Im sure Im not the only one with these crazy roller coaster feelings :)

I have to wait out, see what the weekend brings, I know its going to bring my period, but now with injectibles ( gonal f pen ) all lined up, if I infact to get my period this weekend, they will want me in the office Monday for a baseline ultra sound and lab work...Here we go :)

My name is Jessica :) Its nice to have you all here to vent to, and read your vents in return and not feel like THE ONLY PERSON in the world ( well at least my little world ;)  )
going through this :) Hope to talk to you all soon :)

I'm sorry to hear about all that you have gone through :-(  It's really hard and I know how you feel about the people at work.  I have a girlfriend who is about to give birth any day and I can't help to feel sorry for myself and a bit jealous.  Every time I see someone who is pregnant my heart drops...I think why can't it be me?  I think it's a natural feeling and it is to be expected especially after we have been TTC for so long.

I'm hoping that this will be my month and I get my BFP so I don't have to have the laparoscopy or hear that I have yet another obstacle to overcome with a diagnosis of endometriosis.  I just keep thinking what are the odds my husband has infertility and now I will too?  That will probably be just our luck!  I'm trying to stay positive and you should too.  It will happen for the both of us and God has a plan for each of us.  He took that baby from you because after all your waiting he wan't you to have a perfect baby...the next one will be perfect.

Hang in there...where are you in your cycle?

[Michelleinhawaii]

Welcome Jessica! This is a great forum and everyone is very supportive.  we all have been TTC forever and know exactly how you feel and what you are going through.  You definately are not alone on roller coaster ride...and I personally way ready to get off!!!!

I am also in my 2ww.  I just had my 3rd IUI done yesterday and I will have another tomorrow...I just want one cycle where I can actually have my IUI's done back to back.  Every cycle seems to fall on a holiday or a Sunday when my RE's office is closed.

Hopefully your AF won't come, just try to stay positive although I know it's hard.

i am cd26 and 14dpiui. i tested wed and bfn. i just think i want the lap now. if i tell the doctor this they should cooperate dont you think?i think i wont be happy til i am holding my baby in my arms. if i ever conquer ttc and get pregnant then i need to pray i stay pregnant. i just feel that nothing is easy for me. i guess i should be lucky i am faced with infertility rather then cancer. its just so hard. i hope it both are months. so you live in hawaii? beautiful!are you from there ?age?

[Michelleinhawaii]

I hear you!  I am probably gonna be so nervous once i actually do concieve. Do you have short cycles?  I was reading on the internet and they said that is a sign of endo, they also said periods that last 7 days or longer...I fit both of those :-(  I am really hoping that this works, I will be so sad to have to overcome another obstacle.  it really does not seem fair at all.  I ask myself  "why?" everyday.

That's good if you are 14dpiui and you still have not gotten AF...I'll be praying for you!!

I do live in Hawaii on Oahu.  We have lived here for  6 years, tomorrow!  I was born and raised in New Jersey and I couldn't wait to get out of that dreadful state, so as soon as I graduated college I was recruited by Hawaii to come here and teach special ed.  It was the best decision of my life.  We absolutely love it here.  I am 29 and my husband is 37, We have been married for 4 years and TTc for just about 2 years. we think it's so silly that for the 10 years we have been together we were so careful with birth control bills and condoms...what a joke!  Who knew?!?!?

[hope_31]

i hear ya,for years we all try to prevent conception then when we want it to happen no way!  well here is the weird thing, i have always and i mean always had a 28 day cycle and wether or not i was on bcp i always had a 3-4 day period. so basically sice i have been seeing my specialist my cycles started getting really short like down to 19 or 22 days totally out of the blue. they said a womans cycle can change at any time but maybe it has become out of wack because the endo is bad. i am 15dpiuiand i tested bfn. i told my husband that i just want to get the lap out of the way especially since we are moving september 1st.  i researched and started taking vitamin b6 to help my lutheal phase and it has slowly made a difference as the last few months i am back to a normal 27-29 cycle. although last cycle i got it on cd29 and it lasted 1 day so i thought it may be a good sign,it wasnt but it was really odd. i would love to visit hawaii someday when my budget allows.not sure if i could handle the plane ride as i dont enjoy flying too much. talk to you soon.~jess~

[singhshweta21]

well well i am in almost the same boat. My name is Shweta and I am from Nepal. I have had my first ever IUI done Last sunday and monday. I had it with chlomid,injectibles(HMG and HCG) and twice IUI respectively. Its my first ever one and am in the waiting phase...just cant wait tosee the results and passing my days has become so difficult. I keep googling for almost anything and everything related to IUI. I think I will sign in as a member too..I just hope it works out. I have been diagnosed with PCO and thats about it. have ben told that PCO do not lead to n baibees..so just waiting. Am 28 yrs old and have been trying to concieve naturally for the past 3yrs now. And went in for IUI this month. I wish ...just wish......

[Michelleinhawaii]

Well, I had the second IUI of my 3rd attempt.  My husbands count was 80 million for both of the IUI's and I had 2 eggs, so he said if this one does not work then I should get the laparoscopy to see what going on inside.  He said that something has to be wrong in there if it does not work this time...I feel sad cause what if this one does not work, they check me inside and find that I am not able to have kids...do you think that is possible?

I'm just really trying to stay positive that this one will work...it's gonna be a long 2ww that's for sure

[mary986]

Don't think negative... I remember when my cycle didn't work, you were one of the ones that helped me stay positive. Everything sounds really good this cycle so stay positive and keep busy the next couple weeks so u don't go completely insane. Don't look so far ahead.... Just wait for that BFP you will hopefully get in 2 weeks. I will be pulling for you. Hang in there.

[HudgWife]

The wait is the hardest part...The ups and downs, every little cramp you think " is it my period, or is something implanting!?" All of my IUIs have been soooo different, each time you get a " I think that was the one!" feeling...I Started my lovely DOT ( I wont give it the satisfaction of calling it by its name ;)  )  So its off to the Drs for me...Since this cycle did not work its time to leave the clomid and start with Gonal F...which entails a baseline ultrasound and lab work today so I can start them tomorrow...
I hear you...We've been trying for what seems like forever now...We concieved our first son while I was on the birth control pill! Now I get pumped full of fertility meds and Nothing! Ahh The Irony! :) You have to laugh...Well I have to ...because if I didnt I would probably cry a lot :)
So stay hopeful! It will work for you :) And Lots of Luck !

[HudgWife]

And Thank You For The Welcome Michelle!!

[Michelleinhawaii]

Thanks.  I know I have to stay positive, but I wish the dr. didn't say anything to me about laparoscopy or endometriosis because those 2 words are what's putting doubt in my mind.  Why didn't he wait till after I got a BFN to mention those words, why right after I go the IUI?  Way to help me stay relaxed! I go for acupuncture 2morrow and I am hoping that will help me.

Where are you in your cycle?  what's next for you?

[mary986]

Well they never make it easy for us. He should have definitely waited to mention that to you... but still be strong and show him a BFP! Don't give up. It is definitely good you are going for the acupuncture.. too bad it wasnt today.

I am no where in my cycle right now. I am just waiting. My sister is getting married on Friday and of course my cycle was right around the same time. There was no way I would have been able to get the injectables and the procedure done with the crazy schedule I have between the wedding, rehearsal dinner, bachlorette party.. so it was extremely difficult but i put it off for another month. I should be getting my AF around July 20th so I will start a new cycle then. I can't wait!!! I feel like I have been waiting forever because I didn't do a cycle last month because I had cysts. I do know one thing... I am drinking at this wedding lol

[Michelleinhawaii]

I remember you saying that...you should be ready to go for next month!! Sometimes a break is good.  I think a lot of the ladies on this thread are taking this month off.  I think I am the only one in the 2ww right now.  

July 20th is right around the corner...maybe I will have some good news by then.  This thread needs a BFstickyP, we have not had one in a long time and I think it's due!!

[Liv4Baby]

Mary ā€“ thatā€™s funny about drinking at the wedding!  My brother got married a couple of weeks ago, and even though I was like 11 dpiui and got a BFN, I still didnā€™t know if I could drink.  So I didnā€™t, then got AF the next day.  :p   Enjoy yourself, have one for me too!!  ļŠ

Michelle ā€“ PLEASE!!!  You are like, THE biggest worrier ever!!  Youā€™ve decided after only two IUIā€™s that youā€™re completely unable to have children!!!  What about me then??  :p  Weā€™re all fine, weā€™re just REALLY unlucky.  We just have to go through this until it happens.  Incidentally, my friend has both endometriosis and a son!  

I would like to join Michelle in welcoming the new ladies here!  ļŠ  

I went for another IUI this morning, so Iā€™m back in the 2WW.  Feels like Iā€™m always waiting for something with this!  Today went better than the last ones, and my husband took the morning off to come with me this time, which was nice.  The dr that did it today was SO awesome.  Unfortunately, he was filling in for someone else, so heā€™s not going to be back.  Wait, neither will I.  :p   ļŠ  

How ya feelinā€™ Michelle?

[Liv4Baby]

HEY!  All my smileys turned into question marks!  LOL!  

[hope_31]

i got my period today,cd29 and i feel horrible both physically and emotionally.and just to make sure i tested and bfn. so i am making an appnt to talk to the doctor and hopefully get the lap by the end of the month. i know how you feel i worry that the endo is gonna be so bad and i will wake up and they will tell me i either had or am going to need a hysterectomy. i just am so bitchy and sad all at the same time and i just want to know why,i know other than medical stuff there is no miracle answer but i want to be pregnant  with all of my friends and not watch their kids grow up and be the infertile physco who deep down despises everyone who could have what i never could.

[sagebrush]

I started my period today.  Totally stinks I am 18 dpo which is about 4 days late for me.  Totally thought that I was pregnant.  But nope.  Now my plan is to go to a fertility clinic instead of my GYN.  My gyn did 2 failed IUI's on me.  He never checked to see if I actually had follicles that were matured.  So I am questioning his expertise on infertility.  I made an appt today to go to Loma Linda University hospital on July 24th.  Then I go on vacation to relax and get excited about the next chapter in this rollercoaster ride.  Hopefully I will get more answers and success at the fertility clinic.  Wishing someone would get a BFP already!!!

[Liv4Baby]

Jessica - I am sorry about AF.  I hope that the group at least brings you the support you need.  I try to think of all my friends' kids as a learning experience!  I get to see what they go through and then do it right!  :)

sagebrush - Sorry to you too.  I didn't mention this before, but I really think you've been around the longest.  I once went back and read all the posts from early on, and your name was one of the first up that still posts.  I hope BFP's for all of us, and I am so glad you'll be going to a specialist now.  I think it will help you a lot.  Even if it's just the "now I'm doing all I can" factor, the road is a little easier with less questioning.
