TTC Check In 12/7

[rikkiandjulie]

I won't post a roll call, unless some want it. What's the newest development in your TTC journey?

[rikkiandjulie]

I had an IUI on 12/2, it hurt like hell bc my cervix was so high they could grab it, the nurse said it was pretty much perfect timing. That sounded promising.

Otherwise, I'm having a Debbie downer day. I've convinced myself that my wife and I are fighting to have a child, when that isn't something that the universe wants for us. I feel like we will never be given a child and the world is all "the jokes on you". It's a really rough day, and combined with the fact that I feel NO different post IUI, doesn't help. I feel 100% the same, so I can't even symptom spot if I wanted to. I've already convinced myself that this cycle failed too. It's a really shitty feeling, and I just want AF to arrive so I can move on.

Still waiting for CD#1 to roll around. Timing shows that it will show up a couple of days before my wife will be home for the holidays. So she will get to stick me with needles and go to all the appts and might even be here for IUI#3 which might be the lucky one!

Lola and I currently still in the process of picking a sperm donor, but because we want to start TTC as soon as we can, I am going to start temping and charting when CD#1 arrives, but I really have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.

Download FErtilty Friend, it's the best temp monitoring app out there. Also, be sure you temp at the same time everyday and after at least 3 hours of sleep. Don't even so much as talk before temping.

I'm getting bloodwork done and starting Clomid tomorrow. Hoping to see lots of follicles at my ultrasound next week!

Hi All! I hope it's okay for me to jump in!

My partner and I will be starting to TTC #2... We have an 11 month old and my partner carried her. I will be hopefully carrying #2.

I had 5 IUIs during TTC #1 and still experience a lot of infertility feelings in regards to trying. We just made an appointment with a new RE (same office) for next Monday. I'm so nervous I feel like puking every 5 minutes.

This TWW shit is for the birds, this is awful.

Ugh. The worst. Where are you in your TWW? Do you usually test? Sorry, I'm new and I don't think I've been around since the beginning of your TWW.

We just purchased a few vials last night for our Jan IUI, which is very exciting!
Other than that, I'm taking prenatal vitamins and some more vitamin D too.
That's about it at this end

Well I enjoy torturing myself so I've tested 5/6/7dpiui and they were all negative. I'm now out of tests and won't be testing unless AF doesn't show. Fertility Friend says she should be here on Monday, so we will see.

I've been pretty achey/crampy since 4dpiui, but I can't figure out if it's real or in my head. I'm pretty sure it's real as I'll be totally distracted and then something will twinge or twitch and bring me back to it.

I am sure they are just AF cramps starting early and the only reason that I notice is because I'm hyper sensitive to it during the TWW. But I never get them this early, and don't ever have them til after AF starts, but who knows, like I said, this TWW is for the birds.

rikkiandjulie you likely haven't even implanted at 7dpiui. I'd suggest waiting until at least day 10 or you'll drive yourself insane.

Oh I know! I'm going to wait to see if AF shows early next week, and if she doesn't test then.
