A big hello from a newbie here. We had our first IUI 11 days ago and aren't impatiently counting down to Friday for the at home test. Super anxious, super nervous, but SUPER hopeful!
Have had quite a bit of cramping on and off and have been freakin' out at every little symptom, but I figure that's too be expected with this first go round. Hopefully I make it Friday without exploding into a million teen tiny pieces from the anticipation. And that about explains me in a nut shell. ![]()
Read through quite a few posts before I decided to post myself, so just wanted to say I am sending happy thoughts to all of you our there that need it. I know I will take all the happy thoughts I can get.
Re: New to Board & First IUI
Welcome!
I'm on Day 2 day of my first IUI, so I'm with you in being very hopeful.
Good luck!

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
