Had my first IUI on October 3 and my second on October 4. Thought I would be feeling different by now, symptoms of being pregnant. Any thoughts? This is my first time through this process.
@Kimmie0812 I was about to post something similar! To those who have gotten BFP did you feel different? I always start to feel down and this point when my body feels like any other cycle.
TTC #1 since August 2013 Unexplained/ Endo Medicated IUIs # 1-3 BFN IVF #1- BFN FET #1- BFP; Ectopic pregnancy found at 7wks FET #2- February 2017 BFP Beta #1- 119 (8dp5dt) Beta #2- 475 (12dp5dt)
I caved early this morning (10dpiui) and got a BFN. Will try once more over the weekend, then my RE tests me on Monday. Looks like we'll have to try again next cycle...
@Msbender129 that's not a faint line that's a line!!! Whoo hoo!!! If I were you I would go get a digital test too!!! @Kimmie0812 I had mine on the 5th and 6th....this is my third injectable round and I wonder the same thing. Each round I haven't even really gotten any side effects from the progesterone that everyone else complains about. I guess if it's a BFP maybe I'll feel different. This round though I def have a ton more cramping that is still pretty intense compared to the last 2. Hopefully that's a sign that something wants to stick! Lol
I am loving seeing and hearing about BFP from you girls! So encouraging!
It's funny how this TWW really messes with your head. Some says I'm convinced we did it, others I get scared to think that and get negative thinking there's no way we succeeded with our first IUI. If only I could just forget about it. Impossible, right?! :-/
Any suggestions on making the TWW pass without going nuts?
@ErikaMG you are not out yet. You and I are on same exact schedule--I'm also 10dpiui. I'm waiting to test until Saturday. Almost went to store today to buy test but holding out. Don't give up yet.
Congrats to everyone else! You are giving me hope.
Thank you gals for all the sweet messages! I'm going to test again tomorrow morning and Saturday... Fingers and toes crossed for a darker line and all of you as well! Thank you thank you! [-O<
I'm also going crazy with the wait. Tomorrow is day 10 I am visiting family through day 14 and only brought one test with me so I'm trying to hold out until then. Good luck to everyone waiting to test!
Morning girls! So I have been having extremely bad cramps since my trigger shot Sunday night....this morning it felt like a stabbing on my left side. When I went to the bathroom, I noticed a little bit of brown gunky stuff....if I wasn't trying to clean the clumpy progesterone out from the night before I probably wouldn't have noticed (sorry might be tmi lol) I think it's way to early for implantation? Although it did get my hopes up lol has anyone else had this? I didn't with my previous 2 cycles.
Any suggestions on making the TWW pass without going nuts?
The TWW is making me a total nutcase! My poor husband is going to leave me, I'm so wacko! (JK ) I'm thinking we should start a thread with links to websites that make great distractions. Games, puzzles, jokes, videos, favorite shopping sites, etc. Anything that distracts us might distract others as well! What do you think? Maybe make a rule that if it's not work friendly, we put a warning upfront...?
Whiggrrl65 - Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe it was too early, but I'm not holding on to too much hope. Still, I'll test again over the weekend just in case. Good luck to you - hope to hear good news from you over the weekend!
And congrats to the BFP ladies, and FX to everyone else waiting for betas!
You guys, I'm going insane, I was doing soooo well in the wait yesterday, now I want to pee on all the sticks. TWs is not until Wednesday. I need to get into a cleaning project or something to distract me.

Well looks like I'm out this month too. Hpt this morning was bfn. May have to take a break since I just started a new job and wouldn't want to start asking for time time off for all the follow up appointments. (
@vssbrm tww is the worst! Hang in there, fx for you and all the ladies currently waiting:)
I'll be triggering tonight with a 19 follie on my right and 19 on my left (no tube) Iui is scheduled for Sunday. I've been an emotional mess since I left the u/s.... It's going to be a long few weeks!
@Krista537 Sounds like you have a good one on your good side! It only takes one! I hope your 2WW flies by! Keep the faith! You've got this!!
@ediaz07 I'm sorry about the BFN. I took a break between cycles to give myself an emotional break, and it was a great move. I started my next cycle recharged and ready to go! Good luck and if you need to take a break, enjoy it and treat yourself the indulgences you may have otherwise been limiting while TTC!

I am so sorry ladies who have gotten BFNs. That sucks. Do something nice for yourselves this weekend! Don't forget too, it is almost Beaujolais Nouveau season. I wait every year for the first bottles to appear on the shelves. Sooo good! I hope I can not drink it this year, but if I get to that will be my BFN treat!
How do / have you treated yourself to something special when you get that ugly BFN?
Here is hoping no more BFNs this month.
Edited to question if that is a pessimistic question...

I'm sure I'm out too. Got a BFN at 12DPO yesterday. I will test again tomorrow, but feeling some slight AF symptoms.
Married: 8/29/2009 TTC- since we got married (off and on) TTC with focus: Since July 2015
Currently had 2 rounds of failed IUIs, failed TI monitored cycle December 2015: Starting 1st IVF cycle January 2016: Retrieval March 2016: Pending Transfer (I have 3 PGS tested embryos waiting for a womb) April 2016: BFP, the old fashioned way.
Netflix is the best for me during my TWW. But I also have school and work full time to keep me busy as well. Also cleaning and organizing helps. Sorry I don't have any better ideas. Tomorrow I'm entering my TWW. This is the first time since my miscarriage. I'm also going nuts. Lots of cramping after the trigger shot. Hopefully my one mature follie does the trick. Good luck ladies!! Praying for all of your BFP's this month.

@riveridgional thank you! I think I might try the new craze of coloring. They came out with these great pattern coloring books for adults. That should keep me busy. So sorry for the BFN. It's the worst feeling I'm glad I skipped a month to get my mind back together.
Ugh so sorry guys!! Bfns are the worse. I went for a blood test today and my levels dropped down to 236 from 400 on Monday. Still have some ways to go but at least I'm getting somewhere although very slowly. I just want to start a new cycle already. And not being pregnant and not being able to drink just totally sucks.
I am just getting into the thread. Any place I can look for a glossary of acronyms?!? BFN? BFP? believe those reference preg/not preg
Forgive this newbie!!
There is a flossary on one of the board... i dont remember where, maybe on the TTC one...

Sounds good to me! I just can't stand these mind games. I feel nothing post-IUI and I'm nervous that means something?! Keep trying to tell myself it's too early for pregnancy symptoms and to just enjoy a week that I can't symptom spot, unlike next week- that's what I'm worried about!
Like the idea of an adult coloring book! I always find anything artistic to be super soothing- which we can all use right now!
I also like the idea of cocktails- and I'll will be enjoying some all weekend maybe we should start a string about favorite wines or drinks as inspiration for distractions?
Well I'm out this cycle. AF came today (AFTER I wasted an HPT of course, the b*tch) 12dpiui - I think I ovulated a couple of days before my RE thought I did. Lesson learned - even with monitoring, next time I'll do an ovulation test, since they don't monitor over the weekend. Next cycle will be medicated. Clomid... Here we go...
Sorry @ErikaMG .....at least being medicated it takes some of the pressure off of you guys and onto your RE....you can relax a little more. It's nice having them to tell you what to do and when to do it. @lilmissslp how many days out are you again??
@ErikaMG that's exactly what I think happened to me. I think I ovulated before they even had me trigger. They said no but I have been worried about that for last 2 weeks. So frustrating!!
