Good luck with your progesterone test tomorrow! I'm sure everything will be fine, especially taking as many supplements as they have you on. Are you sleepy all the time on those?? For me just taking one Prometrium (200) a day makes my 2ww feel like a dream state. Then next week is the test - yeah!!! Hoping for good news. Try to relax (I know, I hate it when people tell me that too). Do some yoga or other meditation stuff. I like doing that stuff because it really relaxes me, at least for the time I am doing it. Off to Colorado! Talk to you next week. While you are testing next week, I will be having my u/s that wednesday hoping for many large follicles!

Kelly- Have fun on your trip. I will be dying to "talk" to you after next Wed. I have been more tired lately and I had a small dizzy spell today. I read that was a symptom also of the prog. I will be thinking of you and your sono! Hope you get some good follicles. And then you never know, you could be seeing your baby before it's really a baby!.....Toni

Hi Toni!! I'm finally back in the office today. I am on cd 11. My clomid is done, and wow what a difference it was taking the brand name stuff. I still got the hot flashes, but didn't get any of the other symptoms. Now I'm looking forward to my u/s on Thursday, and IUIs on Friday and Saturday. So, how are you doing?? Any more symptoms?? What day are you on now?

Kelly I am glad you are back. Today is 14 dpo/iui and I took a hpt today. And it was a BFP!!! Just got my beta results and they are 163. I am in shock. I had no symptoms really. Although I "thought" I felt some slight cramping around 9 dpo. So tomorrow you get to see what is going on. I love u/s's!! I hope you have some good size follicles and that this is the cycle for you! I am sending tons of baby dust to you! This is your 2nd IUI right??

Toni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's so awesome, girl!!!! Congradulations!!!!!!! Its so very good to know that this IUI stuff works. Yes, this will be my second IUI. Yesterday I had my u/s and it showed 5 follicles. I was suprised since this month I didn't feel any popping sensations in the ovaries area. But the follicles are HUGE, all over 20mm. We will do the IUI this afternoon. Then I will lye down the rest of the day to let those little spermy guys go to work. Did you lye down after your IUI? Did you do anything else to help the process? I'm a little worried about not having good cm. Mine is pretty dry even though I'm about to ovulate. I tried taking robitussin, like they say to do, but that stuff is so grossly sickly sweet, it makes my stomach churn when I take it, and it didn't seem to do much good after taking it three times a day for a day and a half. I may try taking some a couple of hours before the IUI today and see what happens. So when is your first u/s to see the little one??

Kelly, Wow 5 follicles! You could get some twins out of that! I did lie down in the dr's office for 30 minutes. But then I went out to lunch but took it easy at home on the couch after that. I had cramps for over 2 days. The good thing about IUI is you can skip the cm issue. But this cycle I noticed I had ewcm two night before my IUI. So we bd that night. I am praying this is the cycle for you!!! I get another beta test today. And if it's good they will schedule a sono for 6 weeks (I am 4 weeks today). Feeling kind achey in the ab area but that is all. Baby dust and glue for your IUI today.

Thanks for all the good wishes for my IUI today. I hope your beta test turns out good news (I'm sure it will!!). Then you will be on your way to the 2ww for the u/s! Well, off to IUI...

Kelly let me know how the IUI went and how you feel. My beta came back at 378 so I am more than on track. I actually have a sono for next Friday! They do two before they release you to your reg. dr.

Hey Toni! I'm so excited for you!!!!! Next friday is just around the corner. Do you think you will be able to see the heartbeat by then? The IUI went well. I've been ovulating today. This morning I was cramping on my left side, now it is on my right. Five huge follicles are hard to pass... Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better.

Kelly, I love all the tell-tale pains. They somehow reassure me that everything is working. Five follicles is great. Now the 2ww! I think there is a chance we might see the heartbeat. Some say it depends on your beta count, but I thought it had to be closer to 6 weeks (I'll only be about 5 then). But I will be able to see how many. And I had 4 follicles so who knows. But I would bet it's just one. Although the dh is hoping for twins! Keep resting and I'll be here to cheer you on during the 2ww!!

Hi Toni!! Thanks for waiting with me over the 2ww! And we can find out if you have more than one in that time too. Maybe twins is the reason you have such a high beta?!? Today I'm feeling very bloated and a bit constipated (sorry if tmi) and even a little nautious. Hurts a bit to walk around. I think I remember feeling this way after my first IUI about this time, though, so I think its related to that. My temp skyrocketed this morning. Yesterday it was 98.3, this morning it was 99.2. Maybe I'm coming down with something? Sure hope not, but getting an infection from the IUI is on the back of my mind. Better keep an eye on this. Hope your day is going well, and let me know what your symptoms are. Any morning sickness yet??

Wouldn't your temps elevate at o and then stay that way if preg? I had cramping for over two days with my iui. So far no real symptoms. Just a little achiness in the abs and sometimes a sense of fullness. I don't think I will get morning sickness as I didn't with my other two kids. I am counting the days till Friday. Hopefully I will have some good news to report. Did they give you a date to test on? Mine was 14 dp iui.

Hi Toni. Yes, I had cramps for two days after the IUI, actually I experienced these twice before, once when it was just the clomid. I think it had to do with the number and size of the follicles - ovulation pains. Thats why yesterday, when my temp went up so much and I was cramping (in a different way than the last two days) I was worried about infection. Today, my temp is back to a more reasonable level (98.5), still up from two days ago, but not outside the ideal. My cramps have somewhat subsided too, which is good. I can't wait 'til Friday too!! Hope you get to see something interesting!!

Kelly, what is your test day??? I always think it's interesting to feel something new. Maybe it's the one thing that will make a difference this cycle?
