    Those of you ladies from our cycle that had BFP— I’m having some cramping today. Nothing severe, but like I’m constantly feeling like something is going on down there and it’s worrying me a bit! Is this normal? I’m 15dp5dt which puts me almost 5 weeks. My boobs are still sore but anything extra I feel I’m just automatically worried about especially since my first US is still 2 weeks away! Ugh!

    FET #1:  October 11th -- Beta only 12. CP

    I’m so sorry to hear that, @tinjp78!! Lots and lots of hugs.  <3<3

    @tnh0413. There is definitely some stretching and cramping that goes along with the increased blood flow to the uterus early on.  IMHO, there's no need for concern unless things turn *very* strong, *very* intense / painful, and especially if accompanied by heavy period-like bleeding.  Definitely call your nurse and tell her first hand what you're experiencing if you're at all concerned, but hopefully it really is just part of the normal process of your body getting ready ;)

    @tinjp78. I am so sorry. ❤ I have been lurking so hard looking for your update.  Will continue to root for you and keep lookong for your updates from IUI No. 2 ((((hugs))))

    Thanks @BusinessWife I hope this is the case. It hasn’t been anything extreme but this is my first rodeo with a BFP so I have no idea what to expect. The next 2 weeks waiting before first US is already driving me a little crazy. I feel like I would feel much better if I was able to have another beta in between all this or something!

    @tinjp78 so sorry to hear that! Will you be able to try for next IUI with the next cycle? I hope this one will be it!!

    @tinjp78. That is such a beautiful thought and a great way to look at it!  I know that happy thought helped me through many a long month of TTC... I will be so excited when you finally get your BFP!!! ❤

    @BusinessWife Thank you and all the other PAIF friends who are still rooting for us, still in the ring.

    @tnh0413 some cramping is very normal, I remember having some on and off. Waiting for that first ultrasound is very nerve wracking, but your beta numbers have been excellent so try to stay encouraged :)

    @helloworld9 HOMA-IR (Homeostatic model assesment-Insulin resistance). It is a method used to quantify insulin resistance and beta cell function. I'm glad that I have no trouble with this. I don't want any more issues adding up to my existing chocolate cyst. How are you doing? When is your DD? I'm so excited for you! Oh and I forgot if you already mentioned here, but do you know the baby's gender already? :wink:

    Weeeee!!! I'm so thrilled for you! Knowing this fact that you and our other friends here have come through IF, all the procedures I'm doing now seemed to have become much easier and tolerable. Please know that I'm one soul still benefiting from your presence here on this board. Have a happy day :smiley:

    @Bababatty yay so excited for you!  I think a fresh transfer could be great!!  Really hoping this is your cycle and it bring you a bunch of golden blasts!!

    @tnh0143 love seeing your updates - hearing the heartbeat is just the best!!  Wishing you continued success!!!

    HAPPY LOVE DAY ALL!!!  Hope you was a day filled with love for all!!!

    I can't believe that today I'm 24weeks, big milestone for sure!!  I'm still excited and terrified all at the same time.  Last few days I've been having some unpleasant pains which was concerning and was glad I had an appt with my high risk dr today.  It was nice her assuring me that everything I described is my ligaments stretching as they should.  I'm thankful and grateful for everyday but I'm also scared and terrified all the time.  Feeling this lil one move is the best feeling and I look forward to all of them!  Baby is 1.5lbs so cute :)

    @tinjp78 Really hoping your IUIs work! And being benched sucks. Although it's best to have the best chance for the cycle you are doing IUI/IVF.

    Ughh omg yes.  @tinjp78  I spent so. Much. Time. Benched.  It really sucks, but I know I learned to slow down, and gained a very deep kind of patience, I think, from the whole experience.  I do hope it will feel like it's all worth it when one of your iuis works!  :D. And even if you do move back onto ivf, hopefully it will be with that much more newfound insight. ❤  keep updating us, please!

    @dragonette505. Hey!  I miss seeing you updates here, and most of the time, lurking the ttgp if thread is just a but much for me, even when I still "went there".  So much nicer to "see" you over here again, too!  How are you feeling?
  • Options
    @tinjp78 - glad you are still at it!

    @dragonette505 What’s up? I miss seeing you on the board—or this thread even. 

    Which, btw, I love that we still keep up with each other!

    @tinjp78 Uggggh to the being benched! I still don’t really understand what a chocolate cyst is, but they really shouldn’t be using something so delicious to describe something so annoying. Can they do anything to stop you from getting them?

    Hi Guys!I haven't actually "come back", I think I'm just getting tagged?
    Yeah, I haven't been on here I think since my last cycle? Dunno... I had a lot to deal with with getting through the holidays and two due dates and surgery and whatnot. I'm super happy this thread is continuing! Buuuuut it is kind of hard to have multiple preg updates in one thread (at least for me at this moment)... its sort of like being in a BMB, but not because I'm not pg. I love seeing and hearing about each of your pregs in an individual basis, but this way is not working for me.....y'all know I love you each to death and I'm so over the moon about your babies.  I didn't want to have to say this in case it makes any of you feel bad (DONT!) but I also don't want to leave anyone hanging. Does this make sense? Anyway... please know I'm very happy about healthy babies from this group (and hoping for more!! This is a lucky group) But just seeing all the updates in one place is not the best for me. Its sort of like being so proud your beautiful friends are having fun at the dance but feeling more like a wallflower because youre not 

    yes, this gif is dramatic! But I thought it fit!
