Pregnancy Info HOME

Funny, great minds think alike. I just posted a message in another room, basically asking others beginning the 2ww to check in for support and advice.

My IUI was yesterday and ovul test was +, so this is officially my 2ww! Drs. said to avoid alcohol and 2nd hand smoke (which would be important if we're prego), so I'm curious what else I should avoid. What other symptomes (if I am prego) shoudl I watch for so early. Tests? Progesterone is scheduled in one week--will that test for pregnancy or is it too soon? My boobs are a little tneder today and I awakened with a headache, but that often happens with pms. Glad to share this time with you Duda and love to hear what you're going thru.

Well I hope your iui worked. From what I researched some of the symptoms would be things like heartburn, constipation, gas, fatigue,and spotting..just to name a few. Like i posted earlier i ovulated yesterday and i had intercourse in perfect timing so we will see. today my boobs are sensitive and this usually does not happen until a couple days before my period is due. well i guess we'll wait this one out together... FOOD LUCK

Good Morning Everyone, I am 26 years old trying for my first. It has been so hard . I have very regular cycles and the doctor says im fine but for some reason its not happening. I just dont think me and DH are BD'ing enough to catch the days but this month there was something different going on. My cycle was on May 10th for 5 days. We BD on 17th, 18th , 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 29th. Now I'm having light head aches as of today which is the only sign. My cycle is due again June 7th. Do you guys think I have a chance???

Oh of course elove27!!!!! seems to me that you and dh hit the target....have you had any symptoms???? I wishing you luck

Glad to know your boobs are sore too...so are mine..Maybe that's good luck for both of us?! I've never been as sure about my ovulation as I was this month, both because it was more obvious and also because I tested better. so, we might be long-term cycle buddies, if we're luckly. fingers crossed.

Same here..runnershirl....i was never was more sure about ovulation then i was this month. I hope this is OUR month...I will keep you posted... this has been a long 3 year wait.. oh if you dont mind me asking.. how did you and your doctor determine that a iui would be benifical and was it exspensive????

The only thing so far is since last week I have felt like I was coming down with something but that has kind of faded away and today I started to get a headache. I ate breakfast and took an advil and it wont go away so Im not taking anything else because I dont know whats going on

Elove27~ I've heard that many women feel they are coming down with the flu before they actually learn that they are pregnant. Hopefully that's good news! (I awakened with a headache today too)

Duda~Deciding to have an IUI was not easy. First, from my husband's perspective, he wanted to do things the "manly" way. I forget that most men attach some sort of self-image on that prized part of their anatomy (much like some women do with breasts). He doesn't really like me talking about it becasue he feels less masculine...And to the contrary, deciding to go thta way had very little to do withhim and everything to do with me. I'm 38 years old and we've unofficially been trying since before we got married, and this Wed is our 3rd wedd anniv. So, a couple years ago I was referred to fertil dr. She wanted to jump on into IUI asap and I just first wanted to get a game plan and move that direction. DH was afraid of fertil meds and twins, so we didn't do anything but go natural. Then, recenlty my obgyn told me that my egg reserve was super super low (don't remember #'s) and that I needed to skip past pills and go to injectibles. His best estimate was that I should have 4-6 mos left to get pregnant, based on blood test. I went back to Fertil Dr. and told her to do what she needed to do. Keep in mind, DH has been resistant, but I finally put my foot down and said that this is OUR dream, and I would not let this slip by because of concerns, and he agreed...so, here we are. (Sometimes we just need to take matters into our own hands). I might also add that DH has spinal surgery and has had lots of pain with BD, and we cryo'd his specimen prior to his last surgery, so we moved forward with that this month. The benefit of doing so is that we already know how many swimmers are in that specimen this month. So, for this IUI, there were 24Million, I appeared to ovul on the day of the IUI, and there were 3 follies, so I'm really hoping I'm one of the lucky ones to conceive first time around. Three years of emotional ups and downs..I've gained weight (more than I wanted to begin pregnancy with) and this has effected me greatly. The costs for the IUI weren't bad...it's the meds. I took Femara (inexpensive and gyn wrote the script for 30, as though it's for breast cancer, and that will last me 6 months now, rather than a script for 5 a month); I took Gonal F injections for 5 or 6 days (75) which was $480--ish and insurance doesn't cover; and Ovidrel ($40ish), again insurance won't cover. Some plans cover the IUI, but it was $325. The process requires blood work and ultrasounds which are often covered as diagnostic measures. I feel that science has come a long way and yet, if the good Lord doesn't think I should be a mom, it won't happen, but since I've waited so long, perhaps we could use a jumpstart on the process. hope it helps.

Well I sure hope it's a good sign. I just got finish eating lunch but still have a slight headache so Im just going to rest when I get home tonight but I will keep everyone posted throughout the days to come. Cycle is due Sunday june7th and I hope it doesnt show up. i probably wont test until Im at least a week late, that way I dont dissappoint myself. It's so ironic that my doctors office called me today about a bill from when I had my miscarriage and I dont know how they got my new number because I had not updated if. Maybe its a sign I need to pay if quickly because I may need to visit them ASAP :)

Hey girls can I join in the 2ww I am 4dpo and I am just hanging out. As of right now I have a headache that I can't get rid of, I'm bloated and my lower back hurts. I have promise myself I will not test early. I'm not real sure when AF is suppose to start because for April and May I started on the 15 so I am not sure if I am going to start on June 15 or a few days before. I will keep you all updated. Krissy68

Krissy68**of course you can join us...the more the better (lol)
runnershirl***your story is amazing.Its funny cuz tomorrow is my 2 year anniversary. I just wanted some info on the iui. i haven't even been to a doc to test me or my dh fertility. I just got off the pill trying to clear up some ovariam cysts.

krissy you sound like me with the headache. I just cant get rid of it. Its not unbearable but it definitely is there. Hope it means something good

hey ladies im deciding that i will join you instead of starting my own thread as AF is due tomorrow. i hope she dosen't show not really any symptoms; BBs hurt before O and a week after. The tenderness really went away at about 10 dpo. Now im 13 dpo and have light cramps had a major headache last night. so im pretty sure AF is coming we only got to BD on day of O.

Welcome simplegirl....I hope this is your month...maybe you should have bd a little more..Good Luck
The update on my symptoms are nausea and lots of watery cm mixed with cloudy cm. Not sure what this could mean

what CD are you on DUDA?? and i know i wanted to BD more this month but thats how it worked out for us. Normally about this time i would either be spotting or seeing some CM and my libido would sky rocket for the 2nd time this month but i havent seen anything yet.

DUDA - Thank you for the welcome to the group. Congratulation on your wedding anniverssay and tomorrow is my birthday I will be 41.

elove27 - How are you feeling today? Did you get rid of your headach I finally did.

simplegirl - Good Luck tomorrow and I hope AF don't show up and I am keeping my fingers cross.

Well girls I just wanted to let you know I will not be on tomorrow I took off on my day job so I can renew my DL since it expire on my birthday and I have a eye appointment. Not really doing anything special because I have to work my night job. Take care. Krissy68
