April and May IUI 2 WW

Anyone else in their 2WW?

I just had the 2nd of my back to back IUI (2nd cycle) this AM and now in the 2WW.  I had Femara 2.5 mg day 3-7, followed by overlap Gonal F 150 units day 6-10, IUI April 25 and 26 (Sunday, Monday) and about to start Prometrium tonight.  My Beta is on May 9th.

Good luck to everyone! Here's hoping to keeping each other sane and a BFP soon!

Hi,
I am trying not to test myself, so far so good and today is 11 dpo.  Yes, I do get AF type of cramps with Prometrium and I get super bloated as well.  I really can't even wear my wedding rings, so it looks like I will wear my fake set I bought for days like these!

How are you doing?

That's great!! Will you be testing on your own first or will you be waiting for the blood test?

Do you get lower abdominal AF type cramps?? I got them last month too but way too early for AF (I'm only 5 days post ovulation). Could it be the Prometrium??

Yeah, BLAH is the best way to describe it, that is why I am taking one in the AM.  I did go to bed earlier last night, so it still hits me hard.

I ovulated on April 22.  I had an appointment that day, and when I was checked, my RE Nurse said I must have just ovulated.  My monitor had been on peak for two days, so it makes sense.  My RE nurse told me to take my blood test in two weeks, so that would be day 14.  I ovulated early this month and my cycle is usually 30 days lately.  

YES, BFP for you too!

I totally agree!! The prometrium makes me feel really BLAH!!! And it makes me sleepy so I take 2 before bed but also have to take 2 in AM ( not so good to go to work).  Hopefully will get used to it as if BFP have to stay on for 11 weeks!

What day post ovulation will May 6th be?

Good luck to you as well!!! Here's hoping to keeping each other sane until the tests and a BFP soon!!!

Hi,
Yes, I am on the 2ww too.  Lots of luck to you too!

I am not taking Femara anymore, but I am taking Prometrium like you.  I really don't like the way it makes me feel, but I decided to take one a day instead of two which I have in the past per my prescription.  My nurse told me it was up to me this cycle, so I decided to take only one.  What bugs me the most is Prometrium makes you feel pregnant! Which just makes it harder to deal with the results.  I am trying to stay positive this month since I did find my ovulation and I am also taking maca root and vitex.   I test on May 6.
