Nervous about first IUI
Hello everyone! My wife and I will hopefully be doing our first IUI next week some time. I am beyond excited and nervous. I don't really know what to expect or if i should be doing anything to prepare. While trying not to get my hopes up too much, I know I will be crushed if it doesn't work and I don't want to let my wife down. Does anyone have a little bit of advice or anything to help ease the minds of two first time mommies?

Re: Nervous about first IUI
I don't have a ton of advice to give but just wanted to say congrats on getting started! Hopefully it happens very fast for you two
Good luck!
PS... my wife and I have the same names as you two
This is such an exciting time for you two. I hope everything goes smoothly and you have immediate success! If you don't, just remember that for most of us, it took a few tries before we had success. Don't be hard on yourself - and I'm sure your wife won't feel let down if the first IUI doesn't work; I'm sure she will be your biggest support!
Just an FYI regarding my experience - the first week of my TWW always flew by. The second week always seemed like the longest week ever. That's the nature of the beast. If you can, keep busy and stay positive!
If you don't already, check in on the TTC thread each week. Such a great support system. Hope to see you on the Pregnancy thread soon. Good luck!
My doctor said my blood work and lady bits all look excellent so we shouldn't have any problem. I wish it cost so much in case we don't get pregnant with the first two tries. My insurance only covers straight married women so we have to pay for everything ourselves.
Have a great day!
I agree with ATXmommas the first week of the TWW is quick, but for me right now the last three days of waiting are long.
Good luck this week and keep is updated on the TTC update.

We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
