IUI 2ww-ers

sail123 · December 2009

How is everybody holding up? The wait can be pretty brutal. I kept myself super busy this weekend, which helped keep my mind off things.

For the ladies on progesterone, are you doing ok? I know that it can cause you to feel pretty crazy, both physically and emotionally.

I'm rooting for all of you!

You're right about the brutal. I've never really stressed about the 2ww until now. I guess because I knew I never had a chance until now. I want to POAS NOW dammit! DH told me last night that if I really want to, he will get me a popsicle stick to pee on to satisfy my craving

And how are YOU holding up? When do you test again?

OMG I hate the progesterone! It is the worst thing ever. I hate a leaking vagina. Last week for me was the worst with all the cramping and what not. This week I'm pretty calm. I keep looking at my calendar and counting the days though. I mean come on I had 5 freaking follicles, I hope that at least one got implanted. I'm pretty sure I'll be testing on the 26th.

I posted on the other 2ww post my phantom symptoms: heartburn, acne, full breast and full bladder all.the.time. I don't know if those are progesterone side effects.

I'm doing well, actually. I think that not having to take the progesterone has made things easier for me (sorry ladies that have to take it...I know how awful it is). I don't need to worry as much about testing. If AF doens't come then of course I will test but if she does (please don't!) then it is what it is.

I had a little bit of mild AF-like cramps yesterday and today on and off. Like my DH says, cramps are either a really good thing or a really bad thing so I'm trying not to think about it either way.

Sorry about the progesterone Mey, it is the worst. Your symptoms sound very promising though...I never had full bladder or heartburn with the progesterone so those could be good signs.

I'm not there yet (next month!) but I just wanted to wish you girls luck! I'm rooting for you!

I'm at 10dptrigger/9dpiui, and I am having a hard time keeping my mind off of things. I've been having lots of symptoms, mainly bloating and abdominal discomfort (twinges, cramps, whatever you want to call them), and lately it seems that I have been crying at the drop of a hat. I'm hoping this is all a good sign.

And that second line on my cheapie opks hasn't gone away yet, but I have decided not to believe it unless it is still there Thursday am.

I hope we all get our BFPs next week. When are you traveling?

Just wanted to say good luck to all of you and I hope you get your BFPs this time around. I'm not with you yet, but I think I could be headed your way if my HSG scheduled next cycle is all good.

Hello my IUI buddies!

I'm 7dpiui today. I started the progesterone on Friday night but it's been ok for me really. I just take it before bed and it's all good. The one side effect I have had is that my boobs feel super heavy when I bend down and a little tender but not painful.

I'm just trying to take it easy and not think too much about it. I'm not charting my BBT this cycle on purpose so I won't get obsessive about the temps. I don't even want to POAS because I'm scared to. I'm just going to wait for the beta on the 29th, if I make it that far.

Good luck ladies! Glad to see everyone is holding up pretty well!
