Ladies doing their first cycle of IUI or IVF.

[MissJuly10]

Wow Lucy, congrats! Only a few weeks to go to your big day!! X

How is everyone doing?

I've had some cramping and twinges on my left side and some mild cramping on and off but that'll be the progesterone I guess as the nurse said it can cause cramping.

I'm 2dpiui and we bded every night since the iui including the actual day we had it done so I think we are covered!! X

Sounds like you got it covered missj! we haven't dtd since before ec - not allowed now until a week after! Lol



I'm tired, but think that's just of all the fresh air I've had the last days

Thanks ladies.. It's very exciting.. Easter Saturday wedding

I'm feeling very emotional and hormonal, is anyone else feeling like this on the 2ww..??

We have just been put on the waiting list for IVF so I will be having a good read of this thread tonight. Feeling nervous about it already and it's months away!

 

[maybe baby]

Good luck girlies!!

Well just spent a good while reading through this topic! What a roller coaster ride of emotions!!

A little about us - all our tests have come back fine so we are down as unexplained and have been trying properly for over 2 years now.

Had a very quick appointment last week to tell us that we are on the waiting list for IVF which can be about 6-9 months wait time. Got bombarded with information about what happens but I don't think it explained everything as I've been reading other details in this topic. Got a leaflet about the whole process and am really feeling nervous already!!

My boss knows about what we are going through and has been really good about it so far. We haven't told anyone else at all.

I will definitely be following this more closely to read your stories and offer you all the best of luck xx

Hi ladies how are we all doing? Any symptoms yet?? I am 5dpo and felt mild cramping last night. I'm not on progesterone so not that...unsure what that was.
The 2ww is going quite slowly so far, and the second week is always worse than the first!!

 

[blondy13]

Nikb hello! I'm only doing iui so not an IVF expert but I can imagine it's a massive information overload. How are you feeling about the wait? It's hard to stay relaxed isn't it. Massive good luck hun xxx

You've got a lot going on at the moment!

Nikb: I'm doing an icsi - which is when they take the egg and than select one sperm cell and put it into the egg. I think ivf is when you take out eggs and let them "soak" in sperm, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm 5 dpt and have sore boobs from time to time, but think it's due to the progesterone. I also feel time is passing by slowly.

Had some af type of cramps earlier - maybe egg implanting? Fx!

Lucy: not emotional yet - but I'm sure I will get there.

 

[Lucyboo]

Esperanza, you have exact symptoms as me, mega sore boobs and really sharp cramping, at one point I had to stop and take a breath as it was so sharp. Never experienced anything like it ever... Maybe implantation?? Defo fx

Blue flower it's defo a bit crazy atm...

Hope you are doing ok miss July and blondy

 

[nikb]

Blondy I think the wait is probably one of the worst things but I am trying to think of it as more time to keep trying! Lol.
Esperanza yes you are right that's pretty much it.
Fingers crossed for you all xx

 

[Lucyboo]

Nikb sorry missed your post earlier... I was trying to catch up on posts after work.. Welcome to the ltttc forum. Everyone on here is lovely and really supportive. Good luck with your treatment, have you tried anything else to help your body, ie acupuncture or supplements?
Xx

Hi Lucy and thanks for the welcome. Apart from the normal vitamins etc no I haven't tried anything else. Long working hours does make it difficult too but I also didn't know what else there was to do. I will have a look into it though now you have mentioned it thank you xx

 

[xxcharliexx]

I think it's time for me to pitch a tent in this thread, I've popped in and out whilst waiting to start ivf. Had our information evening last night and got blood tests week tomorrow. All seems so real now.

A little bit about me, I'm 26. Well 27 this month, bf Is 29. We have been TTc for 3 years nearly. Diagnosed with unicornuate uterus just over a year ago, had 6 months of clomid. Never had a hint of a Bfp so hoping ivf may be what we need to get our baby.

Wishing you all lots of luck xxx

 

[Esperanza84]

Hi xxcharliexx! Welcome! I really hope you get your bfp soon!! Good luck with your blood tests! Xx

 

[Esperanza84]

So trigger shot can stay in your body up to 10 days said my leaflet. I haven't poas every day to see if they went negative, but did one 3dpt which I expected to be positive and it was really faint positive.

Did a new one today (6dpt) which I expected to be negative since it is almost 10 full days since I took the trigger. However - it's still positive. I'm super annoyed I didn't test out the trigger now - I will just have to assume that today's test was + because of the trigger.

Now I will have to test every day a couple of days to see if it was the trigger or not. Lol! Silly me!!!

Symptom wise I feel I have an improved sense of smell and super sore boobs today.

How is everyone else?

 

[Clairabella]

Just popping in to wish those in 2ww best of luck. I have everything crossed for you all xx

 

[Lucyboo]

Hi xxcharliexx, good Luck xx

Hope you are doing ok Esperanza.

Thanks clairabella, hope you are doing ok, xx

I'm driving myself crazy on the 2ww, halfway through it tomorrow. Mega symptom spotting, my boobs feel like rocks, and had a small bit of spotting this morning, sorry tmi. Also had on and off cramping still.
