5DPO Today - Looking for Cycle Buddies!
Hello!! My name is Rachel and this is our second month trying for baby #1! Looking for someone to share the process with, as none of my friends are TTC and, as I'm sure a lot of you know, this can be a lonely and frustrating process.

Sweet... So glad you are doing well! I'm sure that was a very difficult decision for you; however, be faithful in the fact that you know you made the best decision for you and your family.
Rachel... I had to cave too and took one, yep BFN! I hope yours is because you're testing too early!!
Samantha... Welcome! Best wishes for you and your DH this cycle!
AF made her way last night. We are on vacation in Myrtle Beach the week I will ovulate so no IUI this month but lots of BDing!!!
Have a blessed day ladies!!

THanks Baby, but I'm starting to think I'm out. I had a small temp drop this morning and another Going to still test until shows, but I don't have a good feeling about it anymore. It sucks because I was really feeling like this was our month. Our timing was great, used preseed for the first time, and I had so many symptoms that were new to be and felt positive about. Oh well...one cycle off and then back to it.

Rachel... I'm so sorry, but I know how you feel. When is your surgery?
This month felt like that for me too! I thought for sure the IUI was a success. I had terrible pimples on my chin (which was only happened when I was pregnant with my first), I was feeling crampy throughout the tww (never happens), and my boobs were swollen this week (again not a PMS symptom for me).
My BF told me last night that he has put it in Gods hands... So when it is our time it will happen. He also told me that he doesn't think I have done that, and that I need to just calm down and not worry so much! That is what I have planned for this next cycle. Get back into being "us" and enjoying each other not planning out everything.

Sounds like we had very similar symptoms. I think that's a wonderful idea, this whole process can take such a number on a relationship and on your sanity. I usually get so irritated when people say "just relax...it'll happen," but I really do believe that the TWW can cause so much anxiety that it's counterproductive.
My surgery is on the 11th. I'm hoping it doesn't mess up my cycle or anything like that. I've only "gone under" one time before (about 12 years ago) and I can't remember for the life of me what symptoms I had other than my hair falling out in clumps :-/

RacheI - I hope all went well with your surgery!!!
I had a major surprise last night...! The only thing we did different this month was fully put it in God's hands. I finally let go of all the worrying and tracking and decided that if it was what God wanted for me then it would happen in his time not mine.
Went for bloodwork today to make sure everything is progressing as it should.
Good luck ladies! And lots of prayers and to all of you!
