11dpiui... one of the harder things to do is TWW
First post on here, just need some support. I'm currently in my TWW from our 2nd IUI. Feeling pretty good about this month and hoping not to be dissapointed. I took Femara days 3-7 and did the trigger on July 21st with our IUI on the 23rd. RE then had me do another Trigger last Wednesday night to help with progestrone if I am pregnant. That level came back at 43.9 which was great. I have been bloated, twinging, hot flashes, a lot of bathroom breaks at night. Praying this is the month for us.
*BABY DUST TO ALL WHO READ THIS*

Welcome. I hope you had a chance to read this thread and understand where a lot of us are coming from regarding sudden BFPs.
Good luck! I hope this works for you!
Sudden for this community. I'm not trying to beat you down or belittle your 8 years, I'm just stating that this board is much more than a nurse call center for information, and that without any friendly introduction, a lick of background information in your siggie, or kind words FROM you, a lot of us won't care.
If I got a BFP and camped out on your front lawn with my ultrasounds on plackards, and my pee sticks on parade, would you really care? Would you even like that?
I'm restating: Good luck. Please be sympathetic.
I'm adding : Please follow your own advice and give some support here and there.
I hope it's okay if I respond. I think what PP was trying to say is that for all the girls on this board struggling with IF, a drive by BFP (meaning a BFP posted by someone that nobody really knows and who never offered any support to anyone else) is really hard to take. I'm sure you can understand how hard pregnancy announcements are to hear. Well a BFP post from a stranger here hurts just as much as all the BFP announcements IRL. So when a newbie posts for the first time in the 2ww, I think people are always a little on guard that this poster who nobody knows will post a BFP in a few days.
If this isn't your cycle, please stick around this board. Get to know the ladies here. Offer your support, and you will get tons of support in return. This board has been one of the only things that helped get me through all of my disappointments and losses (see siggy). The girls here are amazing women.
If you do get your BFP, it would be great if you could post it on PAIF or SAIF.
GL to you
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Welcome to the board. I'm sorry for the loss of your baby and mother.
Please note that the terms "sudden BFP" means that it is a sudden BFP FOR US, not for you. If you're coming to this board, it is because you have had TTTC and are most likely going through ART of some kind.
For a person who hasn't posted very much on this board, to come in and say "I think this is it!", followed two days later by "ZOMG, I'm preggers!" stings for those of us who have the misfortune to read the second post. We don't know you, we don't know you story.
Think of it this way. You go down to your local deli, stand up on a stool and shout to the patrons: "Guess what, I'm PG!". The patrons don't know you, don't know your story, and there could be a few people in that room who are struggling with loss and/or IF. Most likely, you'd be yelled at to sit the eff down and STFU.
Just warning you from future heartache...if you do get a BFP before the people on this board have had time to get to know you, it's going to come off as showboat-ish and not very cool.
However, if you don't get a BFP and would like to stick around to become friends with the ladies on this board, well then we will welcome you with open arms. And once we do get to know you, we will offer sincere "congrats" when that BFP does come your way.
BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12
Thanks for the response, I probably won't be back because I came for support and I'm not the type of person that beats down others. I have my fair share of infertility problems but sometimes don't feel like everyone needs to know. I have too many people ask in person I don't want to go into details. I haven't got my BFP, I haven't except once for 8 years and that ended very quickly. I don't know how do to all the signature stuff and apoligize for that. I know what is like to fight each month and wishing for a BFP and always get the BFN.
Again, I wish you all the luck!
Hi, I'm a lurker who doesn't post much and I replied to the other thread that was similar to this one...
The ladies here are really supportive and helpful if you can put some time in or if you ask questions that aren't about the 2ww. I can't participate regularly due to work, so I'm an outsider and I feel terrible when I see new people (who have been through h*ll) come for some support and get pushed away instead. I don't think a drive by BFP from a fellow infertile should be treated the same way as a true drive by, but that is my opinion which is not necessarily shared here.
I sincerely hope you get a BFP and I see it on the other board "Success after IF" because it gives me hope each time I see someone who's struggled finally get one. I'm on my 2nd round of IUI this month and I know each 2ww is going to be harder than the next during treatment.
