12dpiui and anxiety stricken each time I go to the bathroom...

Fredifer1115Fredifer1115 member
in TTC after 35
I have cramps, but they are weird.  Hmmm, weird because I am over analyzing them, or weird because they are actually different?  I think this 2ww is making ME weird and different.  We can make working human hearts on 3D printers, but those of us who are TTC still have to endure this vicious, seemingly never ending wait.

So very annoying.

I keep telling myself I just have to make it until Friday (when AF is expected)...but then what?  What is my super obnoxious 33 day cycle feels like being 40 days this month???  Over it :(

    How long have you been trying?  

    Waiting for anything is the hardest and most frustrating thing!  I hope you have a good support system.  :)

    Good luck to you!

    Been trying since March, but this is our first IUI. I'm trying to hold off on the stick until my actual missed period, which is supposed to be Friday. I think I can, I think I can lol

    I'm in the same boat as you Fredifer, I've been feeling little twinges in my lower abdomen and I keep over analyzing it. I can't wait to test on Friday, I've never been this anxious before in my entire life! I'm trying not to get my hopes up though!
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =)

    My temp dropped real low today so I imagine AF is on her way. Just hoping for today or tomorrow bc we will be away this weekend and wouldn't be able to do 3 day bloods on Sunday :( Wishing you a better result!!

    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!)

    My 14dpiui just turned into CD1...sigh.

    Going for bloods tomorrow since we are out of town this weekend.  Based on my ridiculous fsh I am going to ask for one more go at iui.  RE seems amenable to it.  We shall see...

    Today turned into my CD1 too Fredifer :( my husband and I were so hopeful this first cycle since we had 3 follicles. Out of the millions of sperm they inseminated me with, none of them could get to an egg? I was angry at first now I just have to get over it and get ready for the next IUI cycle. It doesn't help when my best friend just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl today. Happy for her, but can't help to feel a little bit envious! :(

    So sorry!! Just started reading the thread today and was hoping to see a BFP at the end. :/ Two of my friends and one family member have given birth in the last 2 months...the latest of which was this week. I can't help but be the slightest bit green. Prayers next month is different for us all TTC35+ers!
