CD16/3DPO/3DPIUI? I think....although maybe only 2DPO...got a smiley on the OPK on Thursday afternoon, IUI on Friday morning.
This cycle I am already going bananas. I really think our issue has been my cervix being too narrow. They've had to manually dilate it for both the HSG and IUI. Narrow cervix can also cause extreme menstrual cramps and spotting, which I get every month too. So I'm fully convinced this is our issue, which means our chances for IUI working are really high!
I also accepted a new job, in the city I live in, a regular 8-5, M-F job. I'm so excited to have a normal schedule again and to get away from the stress of working in the hospital, so I'm feeling lots of good vibes right now. Hopefully AF stays away and the good vibes continue!

I'm at 10DPO and will test tomorrow, should I make it that far. The only thing I'm hopeful for this cycle is that my LP is longer than the past couple. I was getting acupuncture for migraines for months, and apparently it lengthened my LPs, too, because once I stopped, they got shorter again. I started treatment with an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility this cycle, so I'm just praying it make it to 12DPO or later.
