Starting June 2ww today
Hi Everyone,
had my 4th IUI yesterday, and start my tww today.
Another 2 weeks of wishful thinking and paying attention to every possible symptom to look forward to.
Yesterday's IUI wasn't so painful as the last one. Dr. said my cervix was softer. She said we're doing everything we can now (including intense progesterone support, which we started last cycle) and the next step would be IVF, a step I am quite reluctant to take. I do seem to get pregnant easily - with at least 4 pregnancies in the past year - but can't seem to get them to stick. No known reason. But they are suspecting LPD (luteal phase defect).
A bit crampy yesterday after the IUI, but very crampy this morning and quite bloated.
I will start crinone today, and we'll test 7 DPO progesterone next Friday. If it's also low we'll up the progesterone then.
Please join me on my two weeks of obsessing, and hopefully we can get our BFPs!

Hi Anika,
how are you doing.
THe pain on the left could have been ovulation.
My IUI has always been approximately 24 - 28 hours after the trigger.
I am having heaps of symptoms this cycle (compared to next to none last cycle). DPO10 for me today. Started cramping today though. All of this may mean nothing or may mean something. I did test today and it was negative. I'll test next at DPO12, in 2 more days.
How are you going?

Super good luck and sticky baby dust for your IUI tomorrow.
I have been doing accupuncture - usually twice a week - though I'll have to miss this week due to schedule clashes. I had to take estrogen on the first half of my cycle as my lining is thin and am now on progesterone post IUI.
I have also been taking a heap of supplements: Basic prenatal multivitamin, macca, thyroid support, vitamin D3, low dose vitamin K2, Omega 3, probiotic and occasionally vit c. Don't know if any of this will help, but as far as I can tell they are all safe and won't hurt.

On Saturday my two follies were not big enough so dr lowered Follistim dose and added Menopur and Ganirelix. Today scan showed 21mm and 18 mm. I had trigger shot and iui scheduled for tomorrow. So I will be soon with you in tww :-)
Did you take any supplements, dhea, weed grass, acupunture?

How was your IUI?
I am now DPO4. This month I seem to have many symptoms already, though logically I know it should be too early.
Yesterday and today heartburn. Sore bbs and they're getting sorer. Headache. Slight nausea. Today am feeling light headed and funny taste in my mouth. Constipated too! Strangely. I didn't have any symptoms last month until about DPO8, and it turned out I wasn't pg.
This months TWW is going to be much more nervewracking with all these symptoms already. Considering we did trigger and IUI, can't test before D10. Anyway, will try to hang on and test on DPO15.

Yes Anika, come join me.
I am also doing accupuncture and taking baby aspirin.
Did they test why you're miscarrying? Good luck to us both!
Get BFN is one thing,but getting BFP and then repeatedly losing it is I think even worse.

I am not on tww yet. I hope I will be in a few days.
I am doing iui #2 with Follistim. I have 2 follies and they are almost ready. next scan tomorrow and probably iui on Monday.
I have similar story to you. In one year i got pregnant 2 times but both ended up in the 5th week. After 4 cycles of clomid with no succes I was refered to RE. IUI #1 with Bravelle BFP but ended the same as before. I was in February. since then I am doing acupunture, taking dhea, royal jelly, baby aspirin and now also estrace. I hope everything together will help to improve egg quality. I hope this is my time.
So wait for me! I will be with you in tww in a few days!
Lot of baby dust to you!!!
