Hello and welcome to the site! |
||
|

Thanks, Liz. Since I'm not taking the progest. orally, I really haven't had any side effects ~whew!! Some light cramping off and on but nothing like what I get with af. I'm just hoping and praying that things all go right this first time. I've tried to prepare myself in case the blood test is negative. I know I would have 5 more tries. Right now, I'm just counting the days until this Friday. |

hi guys. i'm also in the 2 www. had gonal f injections twice daily. had so many follicles that they wanted either to cancel or switch to ivf. too many other details to go into but in the end decided to go with ius and hope for the best. i am currently 8dpo. had serious cramps on 6dpo and was very worried. i had a mc back in april and remember getting cramps very early - at least 1 or 2 weeks before AF. but since then I have had 2 other IUIs and had these cramps with no luck. am taking 400 mg suppositories every night and 2 estradiol patches every other day. had really sore bbs about a week ago but read on some sites that this may be due to the progesterone. keep me posted on you guys. |

:( Well, my wait is over....the test came back negative. Back to square one. At least now I know what to expect. Good luck to you ladies as you near the end of your waits. Liz, congrats to you. |

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you - I've had 8 IUIs so far and am still very hopeful. one worked to get me pregnant though the pregnancy didn't last. i'm 11 dpo and still have my fingers cross. congrats to you Liz. I actually had entered the forum previously under a slightly different name (JLK) but I couldn't remember the password. It was several months ago and you gave me very helpful advice. I'm glad things are working out for you so far. |

I am just joining. This site is really cool. I feel like I can hear about things other people like me are going through without having to go anywhere. At this point O just want to stay in bed until Monday. My blood test is on Monday. I am on my second ivf-actually this time we did icsi. I have been through 4 iui's with femera-like clomid but less side effects, 4 iui's with gonal-f and now 2 ivfs with follistim. They found out that some of my eggs are actually scarred from a "surgery gone bad" when I was 13. Anyway this 6 year journey has been an uphill battle. I wish I would have started ivf sooner. the shots are a piece of cake it is the waiting that makes me crazy. Every little ache or twitch concerns me. The funny thing is I use my breasts as a monitor. This is totally unscientific, but they say your breast swell when you are pregnant. Well if/when my stop swelling it usually means I am getting ready to start. So needless to say I look at my breast a lot to see if they are still swollen. It is enough to drive my husband crazy. Well I hope all goes well for you. Know that I am out here waiting, hoping, and believing with you. |

Hi mamanr. Sorry for your BFN on your IUI. I remember when I did my first one, I was so sure it would work. Just be ready for some ups and downs in this whole process. That's why this site is so great, we are all here in the same boat and we can all relate and support each other. Don't hesitate to come and vent. |

Believe - I think I'm in the same boat as you - my symptons actually start to go away right before AF which usually totally throws me off. I'm 13 dpo today and did a test which was a BFN. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though. Good luck on Monday. JK |

Quick question for folks: I got a BFN on 13dpo. I just read some blog which said that you can still test postive but that there is only an 8% chance. I'd like to believe it's higher than that since I still don't have my period. Any success stories out there?? |

Wow Liz! Congrats! I leave the board for a few weeks and I come back and your 11 weeks prego :) I said in my last post that I had to catch up on my reading because there may be some good news at the end of the thread and I was right!!! You are always so positive and you deserve it. Hopefully we'll all be following in you footsteps soon. |

Hi everyone, |
||
|
||
|
I noticed that you had an iui the same day as me and I just wanted to tell you that I can relate with the anxiety that you are feeling. Just to give you hope where I work someone had IVF the same day we had the iui and today there result came back positive. So keep thinking positive and keep me posted on your preg test. |
