The IF monster is visiting again...

in Infertility

I hate it when you are feeling positive about a cycle and then the IF monster pays you a visit and you start doubting those good vibes.  Ugh...  Well, the IF monster has moved in and I am trying to kick it out. 

The 2WW "symptoms" are consuming my thoughts this morning.  Last night I had really sharp pains that felt like ovulation cramps but I had my IUI on Saturday and I know I already ovulated.  It got me all worried that it meant something didn't work.  I have never prayed so hard for a cycle to work!

Could you ladies send me some POSITIVE vibes today?  I need to start feeling good about things instead of fearing IF.  Come on IUI #3!!!!

Lucky IUI #3 Clomid + Menopur + IUI = BFP!!!
Beta #1 (9.15.11) ~ 437!!! Beta #2 (9.19.11) ~ 1,854!!! EDD 05.24.2012 TWINS!!! BabyFruit Ticker

    I totally understand! One day I'll feel hopeful and then the next I'm sure it didn't work.  I think some of that is self preservation and some is that I've been let down so many times over the last year that its hard to believe something could change.

    I'll think positive thoughts for you!

    Yeah I can definitely feel myself slipping into 2ww obsession! Lol

    GL, I'm sure everything's fine! Fingers crossed for you!! Are you taking any type of progesterone? That could give you cramping.
