Thanks opalfoxy. Can you give me a bit of background on your case, I am a bit lost in the forum, seems like there's some replies missing. Are you diagnosed with anything? Did you take clomid or another hormone with your IUI? What # of cycle are you at? Hope the cramping is a good sign, hopefully ur body getting ready for implantation. I am feeling a bit naseaus and bloated, which is consistent around my O time. I normally get pain on the side where I am ovulating, but haven't have that yet.

hey girls :) CD#7 for me. Tomorrow I have ultrasound and bloodwork to check how I am responding to new meds - for good news. Hopefully there are few follicles growing :)

Wish you gd luck!!! I am D1PIUI and I think I am ovulating as I am writing cause I can feel the pain on my right side. A bit more than I usually feel so hopefully that is a gd sign. Keep us updated ;)

ma-espe - YEY :) I also can usually feel when I ovulate but I am far from it. Probably another week of waiting...

isn't that the worse? waiting and waiting and waiting....
if it is not waiting for O date it is the TWW....

girls...

Last month we did not have too many good stories. Hopefully this month will change that :)

Yes I hate waiting I am not very patient and the waiting sucks. What treatmeant are you taking? Is this for your first baby?

ma-espe - I will have 2nd IUI this month. First one was with 50mg clomid and it was BFN :(
Trying for the 1st baby :)
This time I am doing 50 units injections of Follistim. Then I will do a trigger shot when they tell me and finally after ovulation I will start progesterone cream.
Tomorrow I will find out how long I need to continue my injections. I am giving myself 6th injection tonight.

what about you?

Trying for second baby. First one I got pregnant first time I tried, which makes this a bit more frustrating. Since I do ovulate on my own and my DH sperm test came back ok, dr started me on the lower dose 25 mg clomid, no inyections, and no progesteron cream. I did get the trigger shot. I really hope it works for you this time :).

thanks girl... same to you :) hopefully there will be lots of BFPs this time :)

and to everybody

Everyone doing their IUIs this month, wishing you all the best. Nice to see the chatter between us - it's great that we can form a little support network even though we're all in different places!

My OHSS type symptoms feel like they are subsiding however I still have a very tubby tummy. Two questions for all you experienced ladies:

Is the tum all due to fluid/swollen bits or will I have to work some weight off?

And - feeling better - is this a bad sign?!

Ma_espe, I'm on my third iui. I have undetectable AMH which means I have a very low chance of concieving. I also have no trigger shot or folistism or progesterone. 5mg of Femara (clomid like drug)

I have produced a perfect baby when I had an AMH of 0.36 pmol. He was concieved naturally after 6 years of trying.

I'm eating pineapple core every day now becasue it is supposed to make the uterine lining more receptive to your egg. I hope it is one of those wives tales that is true.

I've also been to a Naturopath for extra help with vitamins
