I'm feeling a little more calm after taking a test the other day. I figure as long as I'm not cramping too badly or bleeding I'm ok until the ultrasound.
I love reading the posts from y'all daily. You both give me so much hope! I haven't been feeling much and I guess it's hard for me because my last BFP, I felt like EVERY symptom. I have been feeling as I am coming down with a cold, lower back pain, night sweats, mild cramping here and there, exhaustion, and emotional wreck! My boos are tender, but not anything to really report on. I know how they felt last time and that was terrible! Been peeing a lot, but that can be from all the water I am drinking.
Today is 6dpiui. I get to test on April Fools Day. Feeling a little down. I guess I still feel some guilt from the CP and ask myself why a lot. I am afraid that was my chance and I blew it. Idk. Hard to describe the feelings going through me.
Anyways, so happy for the both of you though! Such a great way to start off the year!! Love to read updates!

Don't worry about not having any symptoms. I STILL don't and I'm going to be 5 weeks tomorrow!! (Other than my boob hurting). Hang in there... you're so close!!
It generally takes a few times to get your BFP. It's too early to get discouraged. Trust me, I KNOW how hard it is. It took 9 tries total for us.
Vent it out here. This board really does help keep you sane!!
Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend!
Today is 11dpiui and I am starting to feel consistent mild cramping. No spotting or bleeding. Boobs are very sore. I feel tired all day. 3 more days until test day! Last time I got a BFN 14dpiui, but got a very faint BFP 15dpiui. And then was confirmed from the blood work. Trying to remain positive.
I hope you ladies are having a wonderful week so far!
I'm so anxious for Monday to get here!!! I can't wait to see that little flicker on the screen. I know I'm going to be emotional.
@Shauna, you hang in there. I know things are going to work out for you. I told my wife awhile ago the hardest thing is even being able to get pregnant so if you can bypass that hurdle anything else is possible. I know it's hard and with our loss we still think about our baby girl, but you will get pregnant again. The odds go up even more because you're body is more fertile. Just a few more days...We're thinking about you.
So my wife surprised me today by setting up a little display in our bedroom revealing it's a boy with where the wild things are theme. So we're having a boy!!!!! She totally tricked me and had the test last week lol.
I'm excited for you guys! Where The Wild Things Are is an adorable theme!!
Long shot-- but has anyone had symptoms this early? I'm not getting anything.
We got to hear the heartbeat today. So exciting. Going back in 2 weeks for check up.
We are really rooting for 13957's swimmer--- doc and staff said it was of very good quality. We fell in love with his profile.
What cd did you end up getting your positive?
I tested on April Fools and got a BFN. AF showed herself the following day, 02APR17. So we are on CD2 now, I will start Clomid tomorrow. Are there any differences on starting Clomid on CD3 or CD5? I am feeling a bit frustrated and know that it takes multiple tries, but I feel defeated. Also, when you did the trigger, how many hours later did you have the IUI? I feel like my timing is all off. I tried to do exactly what I did the first time. Any and all advice would be much appreciated!
@ans17 - How cute of your wife!! Congrats on finding out that y'all are having a boy!! Any names in mind?
@Firsttimetxmoms - So exciting that you heard the heartbeat today!!!
@ms4511 - Welcome! This board is AWESOME! The ladies are amazing and are definitely a HUGE support! Good luck to you and your wife! Positive vibes and baby dust sent you!
@Shauna So sorry to hear about the BFN. That's never fun... I always started Clomid on cd5, but the Femara we started on cd3. If you feel like the timing is off, but listen to you gut. And communicate that to your doctor. This past time I started femara on cd3-7. I did follistim injections on cd8-9 and then triggered on cd10 at 10:00pm and did the IUI on cd12 at 10:00am (36 hrs hours later). We had been doing the IUI on cd13 or 14, which I think was too late, but we also weren't using all the injections. It takes the right concoction...and Patience!!! :)
Hang in there... Good news is your period started right away, so there's no delay and you're back in the game.
@Shauna I'm sorry. We didn't do any clomid or trigger shots so for us it was just straight IUI. I will say that we went in everyday for ultrasound and blood around ovulation time. I know its frustrating but I'm sure it will happen for you again.
@ms4511 welcome! I hope you get a BFP.
For us we have a few names narrowed down but nothing is solid yet. We had our 12 week ultrasound today and are being transferred now to the other Dr. My wife still has the hematoma but its at the same size.
My wife and I had our first IUI on Saturday. I am on Crinone and have been feeling super tired. I am assuming it is a side effect of the medicine and not of possibly being pregnant. We are in the TWW. Any advice for a first timer?
Hang in there!

@Kim I had forgotten to ask if you're sure it just one baby or more than one lol? Hope you're feeling good.
