Hey Jules,

I am sorry to hear that you might not be pregnant but hey continue to be optimistic until the actual flow. I know what you mean about the frustration of keeping going or stopping but reality is that the only one that can make that decision is you. Talk it over with hubby and see what he tells you if to keep going, to get this battle over or to wait until March....I would keep going...I will have my HPT on Sunday I get really disappointed and discourged when I see the post of people who didn't get pregnant but I am trying to be optimistic. I had two iui one 09/29/06 and the other 09/30/06 1 st time. With my son it happened the 1st time too but not iui only clomid 50 mg so there is hope...You can write to me any time you want to vent I will hear you because I know what you are going through...But yet I still have not tested...Good Luck and keep me posted

Hi Wannabemom,

This is my first IUI and yes it can work the 1st time so don't get discouraged. I can understand the mixed emotions of symptoms because I have had them on and off. However, with my son the first time I did not have any symptoms. My test will be HPT not blood work however I want to go in the doctor's office for a blood test. I am so afraid of taking HPT and it being negative I am very hopeful and I know that it can happened so please stay positive and keep me posted....

Jules,

I can understand your turmoil over what to do. I, too, am a teacher and can relate to timing of pregnancy. My hope is that within the next 2 months it will happen. The timing would not have been great if my first IUI had worked - June is a busy time for me with two state tests to give. My principal (a woman) has been very supportive and understanding and our secretary has been great at getting me a sub for half-days so I can go to the RE, especially when they were doing u/s around ovulation last month - I was out 3 times that week alone. You're in my thoughts.

I'm back in the 2 ww again. I had my second IUI today - not as bad as the first one, no cramping or spotting yet. I go exactly 2 wks from today for hcg blood test to find out if it worked this time. I've learned a lot since the first IUI in September and feel I'm better prepared this time around. Keep your fingers crossed for dh and me and please pray for us.
