Introduction & 2WW

in LGBT Parenting
Hello everyone, this is my first post ever.  I have been lurking for a while and decided to join for some support.  My wife and I were married in January and had our wedding in April.  Due to my age, 30, we decided I would carry 1st.  We are in our 2WW from my first iui and I am now 6 DPIUI.  We were unmedicated and unmonitored by my RE.  I received my +OPK on 5/19 at noon and had the IUI on 5/20 at 10:30am.  This wait is so hard and we are trying not to take too much stock into any symptoms I have been feeling.

    Welcome...we are at the end of our tww and it is def harder said than done to keep from obsessing. I do not think I am preg. Test on 5/28 tues. no symptoms at all. I am staying positive for the next round, and I am hoping that getting the first tww over with has geared me up for the next one.

    Advice I think I will take myself next time, while keeping busy,stop thinking about tww! Haha.

    I wish you the best cycle and hope you get BFP on the first try. It should be that easy.

    Thank you so much everyone!  I am currently 8dpIUI and this wait is excrutiating.  I am trying so hard not to test early because my wife wants to wait until our beta on 6/5 to find out.  Its very unusual for me to have pms or any indication of AF.  But so far I have had the cramping, sore boobs, & nausea. Im going crazy with these symptoms and wondering if its all in my head.  Im trying to ignore the symptoms and not get my hopes up too high.
