@lily55d wishing you the best! Sorry to hear about your polyps. It if is any comfort I had a rather large polyp when I began my TTC journey. I was giving the option of surgery or just waiting it out to see if it would resolve on its own. My system washed it out with a particularly heavy period. Definitely wishing you the same luck.
I have really nothing to report here. I am 6dp trigger and 5dp iui. Some mild cramping which I know is from the progesterone suppositories. It is too early for any implantation symptoms. I will not be testing out the trigger. I will probably just wait until at least 14dp iui to take poas. My beta will be at 16dp iui if no af.
Allowed myself to go to babies r us yesterday and buy some super clearance gender neutral sleepers. My husband thinks I'm crazy...
@Drove2u, don't give up hoping, it only takes the one time to succeed, and who says this can't be yours! It's a self preservation thing..I do it a lot too. But I try to change it to 'why not me this time' I'll keep my FX
@Drove2u don't feel that way! I hear that it takes an average 4 iuis for it to work! Average, meaning some take more, some take less! FX this is your cycle!
@PCOSat25 thank you, unfortunately more than the polyp, my dr also wants to scratch tissue off my c section scar, so surgery is for sure I'm not too concerned, he does it through hysteroscopy and we are working papers so insurance covers so that's good. We are very close in cycle- I am 5dptrigger and 3dpo! FX for you! You are very patient not testing, I like to torture myself every month

@lily55d it is not patience just self preserverance...UGH! I am usually sooo bad about testing. I drive myself crazy and just cry every day. I can't do it this cycle. I need a break!!!!!! I am just wishing distraction on myself so I can get through this and stay positive. Glad to here we are close in cycle!!! Fx for both of us!!
Ok so I feel like this month these progesterone suppositories are making more of a mess and even though I was wearing panty liners I had to switch to a thicker pad. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks a lot ladies for the support, your good words and likes I was so happy to see a positive OPK, my husband could not believe how happy and excited I was, he had to calm me down. He knows how my disappointment hits with AF when my excitement is high. The thing is we had booked a ski trip with a group of friends for this weekend and I was so hesitant about skiing because I had a positive OPK on Thursday. I do not even know if it is bad or not. Then I did not want to put my life on hold becuase of TTC. I was so happy and energetic for three days that I did not worry about infertility etc. I just hope that I made the right decision for us. Also, all of our friends in trip were either single or couples without children, it felt great not to have pregnancy/baby talks Also, for those of you that knows my struggle with insurance, my husband was able to add me to his insurance where they cover basic infertility treatments/diagnostics etc. So if this cycle did not work then we can start IUI soon.
I know the feeling @ultratomato, ***too much info warning*** I haven't had it this bad, underwear, bedsheets, it's driving me nuts! Sometimes I feel it just running out. It's only my second cycle using them, but last time it wasn't as bad (or maybe I blocked it out) ***too much info over***
Anyone take the HCG trigger and experience excess salivation about a week later? I am at work following my same routine but almost choked on my saliva it has just really increased this morning and hasn't stopped..when AF is due I actually start to get dry mouth a few days before. Wondering if HCG shot could be causing this I am 6dptrigger and 4dpiui or anyone else expieriencing? Just strange not concerning I suppose..
@Drove2u I am sorry that you do not feel hopeful about this cycle but I can understand. Sometimes, I do not know if I should feel hopeful or just convince myself that it did not work. When my expectations get high, my disappointment also gets bigger and takes much longer. I hope this IUI worked for you, take care of yourself. Hugs to you !!! And best of luck to everyone with TWW , it is so hard for me not to think about it all the time.
@ZoeFer exactly. The disappointment is just a little less when I tell myself it didn't work. I'm so close to moving to Ivf that I'm freaking out over it. I don't want Ivf. It sounds awful and time consuming. But will do it if that's what it comes down too.
@Drove2u ugh!! I know how frustrating this all is! I really hope this IUI works for you. But I just wanted to let you know I just finished my first IVF egg retrieval and the whole process was not as bad as I though it was going to be. Fx that this is your nonth!!
Hello all! I am 4DPO on a non-medicated cycle this month. DH and I just completed 4 IUIs and one IVF with a FET back to back over the last 6 months and decided to take a break from the meds and start some DHEA, CoQ10, additional vitamins, etc. After the 3 month mark we might try another round of IVF. In the mean time, we are still TTC the natural way. I ovulated on CD 23 and my official TWW test date would be 2/4. My birthday is 2/1 and DH is 2/5 so I am going to test on 1/31 which would be 10DPO. Wouldn't that be an amazing bday present? Excited this month but I know the chances are slim.
Good luck, fingers crossed and prayers said for everyone!
Hoping for some BFPs in this thread next week! In the last week alone 3 of my friends announced pregnancies. I took it especially hard. I think it gets harder and harder each time it happens.
@wifeinraleigh28GL with your TWW, when are you testing ? All of my friends are pregnant now or just having babies, it has been hard for me but I think I am getting better at accepting that their pregnancies have nothing to do with mine . That s what I keep telling myself And happy birthday, I love being in my 30s !
@ZoeFer - I will be testing on 2/2 if I don't have AF by then... I usually have a 13 day LP so I will probably start by 2/1 if I'm not KU. And thank you, that's a really good way to look at it! I find that I'm really happy for my friends a few days after they announce their pregnancies. Once the initial shock wears off I find myself less angry and bitter. It's strange, I know! And I am very excited to be in my 30s!! In fact, I've been in a wonderful mood all day! Thank you for the birthday wishes When will you be testing?

@Starlight811 I haven't noticed any increased saliva but do end up with lots of CM about a week after trigger (which is not my norm on a normal cycle). I don't know if that helps but thought I'd throw that out there!
@wifeinraleigh28 Happy birthday! 30 is the new 20 I just turned 30 a month ago and unfortunately it's just as uneventful as being 29 lol Hope you were able to celebrate!

My tww test date is 2/4. I'm so scared right nw, after hearing 2 pregnancy news this month, I wan my news this time. I sometimes feel like announcing a fake pregnancy news, jus to experience once, but then think that my actual news is around the corner I shouldn't b doing this crazy stuff. I can only talk all this here, I literally have no one to talk to.....
@wifeinraleigh28 do not get me wrong , i try pretty hard to feel okay after a pregnancy anouncement especially when they tell me how they got pregnant by surprise in their first try. And sometimes they lecture me how i need to bd every other day around cd14 like they discovered the secret I think I will test by 2/4 or 2/5, my LP is long ~16 days so AF doesnot show up until very late. It puts extra psycological burden on me because I cannot believe that it is true BFN until i see the AF. I hope we see lots of BFPs next week.
So went to Doctor this morning and they said my ovaries were big. They asked if I had pain I said no and they said everything was fine. So I'm just worried now about the ovaries being big anyone have that happen?
@ultratomato i honestly do not have any knowledge or insight but i am curious why they did u/s at the tww stage ? Did you have a problem ? I thought if it was hyperstimulation they would have seen it before ovulation , right?
@ultratomato, that's odd! But I guess if they say it's all good, best to believe them
This TWW is going by so slowly but I am weirdly calm. I tested yesterday at 6DPTrigger 4DPO and the line was super dark, so I skipped today because I don't have many tests left. I will test again tomorrow. Being 8DPTrigger I should only see a faint line. The trigger seems to take forever to leave my system, I am glad I test it out, otherwise things might get confusing, last time it took 11 days to leave

@amos1417 i am there with you, i want to test so bad and be done with this tww. throughout my first week of tww, my hope is slowly fading. My excitement that i had over the weekend is diminishing everyday , i woke up feeling desperate last two days.
@amos1417 i am also 6dpiui so i definitely understand !! I know its way too early to test and I am not into testing out my trigger I just can't wait for 2/4 when I get BETA results!!
How is everyone feeling? My strange extra salavation is still current and it doesn't sound like anyone else that had the HCG shot expierienced this maybe I am dehydrated who knows its just wierd I almost drool sometimes, haha! Im having same pre-AF symptoms such as increased CM, sore breasts, cramps/discomfort. Back pain has subsided it only lasted 3 days post iui. I am having vivid dreams I have read is side effect of hcg shot also.
@wifeinraleigh28 glad to hear 30 is treating you well!!! Happy belated b-day! I also knit pretty avidly for my friends babies. Glad to hear I am not the only one with this old world habit.
@ZoeFer I completely understand what you mean about hope diminishing through the tww. I always start out so optimist ice but by the time week two starts hope is lost
@Starlight811 those are a lot of symptoms!!! Fx they are a sign. I am really not trying to put stalk in symptoms right now. Last out I had all of the classics mild cramping, mild nausea, sore breasts. They were clearly from the progesterone as I ended up with a bfn! This cycle have been petty even keel. Some back pain, discomfort, fatigue. But like I said I am trying not to put any stalk in symptoms or lack there of this time. The not knowing what they mean or if they mean anything drives me crazy!!!

@Trumom2016 I am sorry you feel alone. We all do at some point. I also know our emotions can get crazy when going through infertility. I will say that doing a fake pregnancy announcement is over the top. That is something you can't just take back or laugh at later. Also, knowing how sad you feel seeing all these announcements, you could be putting other people through that just so you feel some joy for a fleeting moment. Wait until you DO get pregnant so you can fully enjoy those moments of joy. Hopefully it will come soon for you! It is still early in your tww, so don't give up hope.

@Trumom2016 I must have missed your message before and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and if you want to chat inbox me. I'm in Europe, so late response will occur. I do understand the fake pregnancy announcement, to see how it feels. But remember that the real one will be sooo much better and it'll happen, don't give up believing. Sending you a big virtual hug!
@Drove2u, I'm so sore to hear. I could tell 'don't give up yet', but sometimes we know our bodies best. I still hope you're wrong so I'll keep my fingers crossed. xoxo
Thanks @ultratomato and @tvh1982 we will see. I'm going to start testing tomorrow morning so I'll let you know how it goes. I decided not to schedule a beta this time. Save myself $40 for them to tell me I'm not pregnant.
