Ladies doing their first cycle of IUI or IVF.

Hurrah missj! That's great you got to see it! I was told to test in 2 weeks so am counting that as 20th! Do you do the progesterone suppositories? I'm to start mine tonight, not relishing that! Still a bit crampy but not too worried. Come on bfps!!! Xxx

 

[MissJuly10]

Yes, also starting progesterone tonight, not looking forward to them either, lol. I was told to test in 16 days which makes my otd 22nd June. Feels like an age away! X

 

[Dee28]

So personal question...do you do your suppositories vaginally or rectally? Nowhere else I can ask this question!!! X

 

[MissJuly10]

Lol, no such thing as TMI in the world of TTC is there haha! I do mine vaginally. Never done them rectally and don't particularly fancy it either but it's personal preference... In a weird way lol. X

 

[Dee28]

This whole thing is weird lol!!! I might try both and see which is less gross! X

 

[MissJuly10]

There's an experiment I've not tried lol. Don't think either option is particularly nice but whichever is easiest I guess. X

 

[tinselcat]

Just popping in... Want to wish all you ladies the very best in this cycle!

As for the progesterone suppositories, the nurse recommended vaginally but I couldn't handle more than a few days of that & got thrush both time, so have been putting them in 'the other place' since & found it much more comfortable.

Whatever suits you the most!

P.s. the progesterone may will give you lots of preg symptoms, like sore breasts etc! Xx

 

[Dee28]

Well I've gone for ahem *the back door*! Was still spotting a bit last night so didn't fancy vaginally. Oh the joys! I'm already bloated I think from the clomid so am expecting a tough 2ww :-/

 

[MissJuly10]

Tinsel cat - I also suffer thrush every 2ww when I use the progesterone! I just use external Canesten cream when it starts.
The progesterone usually gives me cramps too so I end up being on egg shells for the duration of the 2ww!

I feel fine today, other than a bit tired but I've been tired the whole week lol.

Dee - well done hun, braver than me lol! X

I'm glad someone asked that question I've been told to put mine up the back door not looking forward to that part, and I thought the needles would be the scary part! Xx good luck ladies I. Your tww xx

 

[Blueflower]

When I did IUI I did the suppositories vaginally cos I sometimes get a dodgy tummy so didn't want to risk it! Didn't realize they can cause thrush, will bear that in mind when I start them this week!

 

[Dee28]

I think I'm going to alternate, I've had a tummy and back ache and haven't pooped today, feel like it's the pessary. I've never had thrush so hoping it won't give it to me! Still had a teeny bit of spotting today too, hope it goes :-/

 

[MissJuly10]

Never done my pessaries rectally so can't comment on whether they've affected your stomach, hopefully they haven't though.

I never ever get thrush so it's really awful to get it during the 2ww!

Off for a bubble bath and then bed for me, can hardly keep my eyes open lol. x

 

[blondy13]

Hello ladies. Glad both your iui's went well! I don't have to do pessaries at all for some reason. My day 21 progesterone was 53 so maybe they just don't want to give it me?! They sound a bit yucky though!
How are you both feeling today?
I am 11dpiui...tested and got a bfp. I tested because I have a bad sore throat/cough and wanted to know what drugs I can take. I'm in shock!!

[Dee28]

Oh wow blondy that's amazing!!! Congratulations! Fantastic xx

I'm ok thanks, hoping to poop today! My progesterone was 51 so not entirely sure why I'm enduring this hidiosity! Just hope it works! Xx

 

[MissJuly10]

Wow, congratulations Blondy. x

I don't know what my progesterone is, they don't test mine during the cycle?

3dpiui... Feeling twinges and tenderness on my left side but assuming that's from ovulation. Trying to get on with things as normal so this 2ww will go quicker!! X

 

[xxcharliexx]

Congrats blondy!

I'm just back from first scan, had really bad pains this morning. I've got 19 follies on one ovary and 12 on the other. Had a good few measuring 11 so they seemed happy. I do have quite a lot but aside from that things are ok. Lining of my womb looking perfect too! Started cetrotide today, next scan is on Friday, assuming egg collection will be next week. Excited xx
