TTC Check-In November 16th

[kekaellypula]

I'm 10dpiui and started spotting last night. Exactly the same as last cycle. Right now I'm having INTENSE back cramps on my left side. I took a HPT on Saturday morning and it was neg. So I'm thinking this cycle is out and according to FF I'll actually end up missing 2 cycles before trying for my third IUI. I didn't really have any symptoms this cycle at all. A couple days ago a few cramps but very minor. Edit: But my emotions are wack the past few days.

QOTW: I can make chicken cordon bleu. My wife loves it so I make it about once every 3 years. It keeps her around.
QOTW2: Nope.

We're just waiting for our RE apt on Dec 4. Enjoying not temping for sure.

QOTW 1: My signature dish is probably marinated flank steak seared on a cast iron pan, then finished in the oven. So good! Plus Costco helps make it affrodable.

QOTW 2: I gave up caffeine in the beginning, but after 11 months TTC I'm back to drinking it Otherwise, I try to eat as healthy as I can.

IUI was today. Seemed surreal for me to be back at the clinic with M. We had to bring O since we don't have childcare on Thursdays. That was interesting. I used to sleep during these, now I chase a toddler. Have things changed!

I'm kind of indifferent about the outcome at this time. I know how emotions can range over the TWW. I really do want 2 or 3 kiddos but I'm so tired most of the time with just one!

kekaellypula, I'm sorry about the wait to try again
@suesposa, how did the IUI go?
JustJudy, enjoy your break, good luck at the appt!

QOTW: I'm not much of a cook. I do like to cook some of my grandmother's Hungarian dishes though.

QOTW: M cut out caffeine last time she was pregnant. We also ate pretty healthy then, we need to get back to that.

@suesposa jumping in, hope you don't mind. I took crinone for two cycles and the first I didn't realize you had to clean it out. Can't recommend cleaning up there regularly enough. Made it much more comfortable. And wear a panty liner. For the last cycle I switched to endometrin (or something like that) and it was a lot better and had less side effects. Good luck! The TWW can be tough.
