Isn't it lovely when it looks like the stars align and still BFN? For this IUI I had a nice, big follicle, clear tube, clear uterus, lining was "excellent", my eggs seem to be like a 20 something year old's, count was great, we also BD'd, I ate pineapple, did acupuncture, prayed and hoped I'm "fertile" after all the hormones. And still stark white staring in my face. And on top of that, AF should be here today and it's not. Cruel and exasperating.
Im so sorry, @bestofjoy. That just sucks!!!! Thinking of you. :-(

How are my TWWers doing out there??? Still hanging in? Going crazy? Testing every day?
Im 8dpiui and this is right around the time I usually get the itch to start POAS. But I held out this morning and am telling myself that I can make to Wednesday! (Not likely, lol)

Hi @SoonToBeMommaHowe, I'm 5dpiui and not itching to test just reading into everything little thing: bloating mainly, pressure in my abdomen, I keep checking for sore nipples. A friend I just met who had TTC and is pregnant now said the weirdest thing about when she actually got pregnant was that she really didn't feel any different!? What are your experiences with symptoms or no symptoms in your TWW?

@SoonToBeMommaHowe 9dpiui here. The TWW is killing me!! My husband and I went to a concert last night, I had ONE BEER. And I mean like 12oz, not an abnormally large one lol and woke up feeling like I was going to vomit everywhere! It finally passed, but I still feel weird. It's very unusual for me. And I'm super duper bloated and major back pain but I'm attributing this to progesterone suppositories. However it's my first IUI and my first time using progesterone suppositories so I don't really know what to expect lol so @manders85I feel your pain for symptom spotting !

@Manders85 and @PeaGreen421 hello TWW buddies!! **TW pregnancy mentioned** 2 years ago I got my only BFP and prior to the BFP I just had one day (8dpo) where I felt so sick like I had a major case of the stomach flu coming on and then nothing until about 6 weeks. And that pregnancy was with twins.
Right now I'm feeling nothing. No bloat, no sore boobs, nada.
@PeaGreen421 not to get your hopes up but one of my best friends' first clue she was pregnant was when she got hungover off just one beer. FX it's the same for you!! You could test tomorrow

@SoonToBeMommaHowe thank you! hearing that does give me hope!! But at this point that's all I can have, so I'll take it. And if it isn't the case, on to the next cycle, and possibly rethink drinking beer again lol I could test tomorrow, but I haven't been testing out the trigger shot so I'm scared

@SoonToBeMommaHowe & @PeaGreen421 I'm 10dpiui and Im still waiting until Wednesday to test. Honestly I dont think Im going to get a BFP and I just kinda want AF to show up. I dont want to test and be disappointed. I know that sounds weird.. I have the same symptoms I had last month when I got the BFN. Im going to test Wednesday night, 12dpiui.
Not to mention I had a dream about me having AF last night.. just not in the right spirits
Need some positivity.. I have been in the dumps :-(
@Londonsmom don't lose hope! Many people have felt like AF was on the way and were totally surprised by a BFP! I am trying to wait for my blood test on Friday. Who thinks I will test before that? ME!! haha

@bestofjoy – I’m sorry this month has been so
frustrating. That’s the worst – when you
know it didn’t happen, and you just want to move on and move forward, and AF
isn’t showing.
I’m still TWWing, normally I’ve gone POAS crazy by now, but
this cycle I have to actually look up how many dpo I am (9dpo). I haven’t
tested yet and I guess I don’t really plan to. I’ll just let AF show up and
ruin my life as usual.
Normally by now because of the hormones (I guess) I’m
starting to feel sore boobs. This month, nothing. I’ve been feeling bloated, but also I have
been eating like garbage so there’s that.
@Londonsmom - I’m there with you. Just feeling really discouraged this month.
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
@pawcall we are twins!!! I have sore boobs now too.. WTF! Just come on and get it over with.. Hate to sound so discouraging. I also hate to get myself excited for nothing.
Ugh, why do I do these things? I tested early because - well honestly I don't know why I do this to myself. I am 10dpo, and I am torturing myself into thinking there might be a barely-there line that doesn't actually exist. And nothing I can do but retest tomorrow.
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
@pawcall I had my IUI the same day as you and tested yesterday so you aren't alone and I have no idea why we do it to ourselves. And why does the TWW have to feel like 2 years?!? FX that you see a more than barely-there second line tomorrow

@SoonToBeMommaHowe actually this TWW is different. I haven't even been thinking about what day I'm on because I took a week off work to road trip and crash with family. Wish I could do this every month! Honestly I'm not really feeling hope for this IUI so more just trying to stay distracted til I start the IVF process. And of course I feel cranky, grr..
Right up until this morning, I was really distracted and busy and hadn't really thought much about the 2ww. And now I'm dying. I've been sitting inpatient at Children's Hospital staring at everyone else's babies and felt like I had to POAS already. So now here I am fudging with lighting and filters to try to see something that's probably nonexistent anyway. Ugh.
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
I don't be know about you ladies but my go- to when I'm freaking out during this 2WW is obsessively checking the bump! I check these message boards and that's my "fix" to not test! It's not a complete distraction but you guys are super helpful to keep the preggo tests out of my hands

@Manders85 - totally! The few who know that we're struggling with IF in real life don't actually know we've recently IUI'd (I regretted telling anyone last month so this month I kept my mouth shut) and are in the TWW. So you guys are the only ones who know.
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
Hey ladies.. still waiting. Im going to breakdown and test tomorrow morning. I already know my fate. I have been cramping since Sunday. AF has to be around the corner. Im with you @Manders85 this board is my safe and comfort place.
Guys, I am going INSANE. I am at this hospital until Friday at least. Very hopeful that we'll be homeward bound on Friday afternoon. But I only have three more tests with me, which means I can test each morning on 11pdo, 12dpo, and 13dpo. And I obviously will now because I'm a pee-ho.
I just keep looking at today's. The faint line seems obvious now but it's been all day, so it could totally just be evap. Did I invent a squinter in my mind, only be to "rewarded" by an evap line that makes me think maybe it was real? WHY ARE HPT'S SUCH A MIND-F?
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
Posting an updated chart - hoping to hear more great news from those of us left to test this week. I've moved off a few folks that went quiet - but if you're missing from the list and should be here, let me know, I'm happy to move your info back up!
Looking like we'll have someone testing Thursday, a few folks likely testing Friday, and a couple of us on Saturday with one more test on Tuesday. @Momifbysea is that your beta? Will you POAS before then?
BFN for me at 11dpiui so if I don't see AF by Saturday I'll try once more that morning (I'm out of tests now so it will be easy), but all signs would point to waiting for AF

Well ladies.. As I expected. AF showed her nasty self last night. Didnt even test ;-( So I will be joingin the march board for one last try before IVF.
