Hopein2012 - Sorry I missed your post on last pass through... I'm having *no* symptoms, on 11Dpiui, which is why I'm convinced AF will be here soon. By this time with DS I had all sorts of symptoms (plus my dog was acting really different) so I knew without a doubt that I was PG long before I got my BFP on day 13.
I'm out again this month. Only one little follicle developed and on my left side. Left tube was removed in November. Doctor said there was about a 5% chance of getting pg with a left follicle/right ovary, so I decided not to use one of the 3 remaining vials I have from my donor (#11182 - no longer available). Dr. called me at work a few minutes ago to discuss 'our' options. She said it would be okay for me to try one more IUI before IVF. I'll be calling back in a few weeks when AF arrives again.
Dr's office just called. They said my numbers today looked "perfect". I go Monday for a placement scan to make sure the sac in the uterus. Then two weeks after that, I have a sono to see the heartbeat:D I can't wait for that day!!!
I have my 8 week ultrasound tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about it. Most days I don't feel pregnant at all and start to think I'm about to miscarry then my boobs start hurting a little bit and I let myself relax until that let's up and I start stressing all over again. I've had a grand total of one day of morning sickness (I call it the day I spent in hell). I know I should be grateful to feel so good, but I keep reading/hearing people talk about how awful they felt and how morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy and it just stresses me out. At my six week ultrasound my doc found a tiny flicker of a heartbeat for a second so I should relax a bit but a lot can happen(or not happen) in two weeks. I guess I should get used to worrying about this little person-to-be because I will be doing it or the rest of my life (fingers crossed), right?
shonarb73 - I'm sure the US will go well! And yes, the worrying starts now and NEVER stops :)
I'm out of the 2ww since AF arrived this morning (with the worst cramps I've had in years, ugh). Next IUI should be Mother's Day weekend -- which would be a PERFECT cycle for a BFP!
shonarb73, I feel the same way. I have had no sickness, no cravings, no anything. I was so scared when I went in today because I thought something might be wrong. Then today while waiting for the results, I had a lot of back pain. The back pain scares me. I have a tilted uterus and read that lots of women with them have back pain, but I also read it's a sign of a tubal pregnancy. I keep reminding myself to enjoy this time and quit worrying. I think I will feel better after Monday when I actually see something, even if it is just the sac in the right place. I am so anxious for the first trimester to be over. I have only told about 10 people because I am so anxious and scared. Hopefully we all have easy pregnancies and the time flies by.
shonarb and austingurl, I felt the same way. I was so nervous until I saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks. Then I had some spotting and that was scary. I've had morning sickness, but sometimes I worried that it wasn't bad enough. Sometimes I get nervous even now that I have just entered the 2nd trimester. :-)
Tomorrow will make you feel much better, shonarb!
I'm with you austingurl! Here's to easy pregnancies and beautiful babies!
I am having my Nuchal test today. Hopefully they will be able to do it. I have had 2 US in the past week due to spotting and then some bleeding. Was in the hospital on Sunday night. Both Baby and I are fine. The baby was super wiggly so not sure if they will be able to do the test. I am 12 weeks today so am excited, yes I am showing and am starting to tell people. I spoke to my mom last night and she is waiting another 6 weeks till the end of June to tell people. Not sure why, but that is what she said. We live 1500 miles away so maybe that is why.
How was the Nuchal test, AnissaS? I hope the spotting and bleeding has stopped!
I'm getting excited for another round since my vials shipped today and I get to stalk them on the FedEx tracker :) Tomorrow I have my HSG and then IUI's probably this weekend. I decided to go ahead with back-to-back this cycle since I'll still have five vials left.
I had my first sono today!! The little nugget is right where it is supposed to be. I go back next Thursday and hope to see the heartbeat by then. I thought I was going to be 7 weeks Wednesday but my dr said I am actually going to be 6 weeks. I thought week 1 started the first day of AF??? I looked when I left and if week one starts the first day of AF then I am right. What's the correct way to count weeks? I am confused.
nettibug - Nuchal test went fine. Got my results today. For Downs it was 1/205 (remember I am 42) and Tisromy 18/13 1/1221. They said the numbers were good, still flag for a risk, so working out what I will do. research tonight. Amnio would be in about a month which is about 17 weeks or sooner depending what we thought. I have a doc appt at the end of the month and we will discuss it than. They suggested another blood draw to see the risk factors.
No the spotting has not stopped. Baby and I are fine. They think the spotting is from the Fibroid that I have. they will continue to monitor me. They said the baby was fine and we heard the heartbeat on Wed last week when I had my appt. So I am now on restrictions, no exercise (can walk the dog a bit), no house cleaning (hard since I live alone) no yard work, so am looking for a house cleaner etc. Also found out due to the fibroid no C-section must deliver naturally unless the baby is in distress. So we shall see.
Each day is one day closer to delivery.
Austingurl Congrats. Keep the pictures. It is suppose to be from day 1 of AF, but they measured and get a better idea how far along you are. Keep us up to date. The first ultrasound I had was a funky thing. Didn't look like a baby and last week it did. So cool to see.
Anissa, I'm 41 and on my second pregnancy, I also had some bleeding @14 weeks due to 2 large fibroids. I was also contracting every 2-3 minutes on and off for about 3 or 4 days. They didn't put me on any restrictions, but I did take a couple nights off from work. I'm now 28 weeks and haven't had any problems since. My belly just measures way ahead than what I actually am and the Braxton-Hicks are frequent but not consistent.
I hope your labor goes well. With my first baby, I wouldn't dilate past 5cm because the fibroids didn't allow my uterus to contact evenly so I ended up with a csection. Right after the surgery, the doc said not to labor anymore because I'll most likely have the same outcome so I've already scheduled my csection. Guess the outcome all depends on the location of the fibroids. If your doc doesn't want to cut you then they are prob worried about cutting through a fibroid which can be a bloody mess.
Anissas I was reading back one of your posts talked about acupuncture, am considering this for my next iui would you say it made the difference I would like to chat some more my email zoe_2011@live.com.
Sibling4lala thanks will be back on the 2ww soon, good luck with your pregnancy
Wow sibling4lala, I can't believe you are already 28 weeks. Time seems to fly when someone else is pregnant. I am only 6 weeks and it feels likes months.
When did you start telling people? I have told my mom, sisters, and a few close friends. I am trying to decide when to tell extended family and work? I would like to hold off on telling work until I am 12 weeks, but I don't know if I can wait that long:) It's all I want to talk about these days...lol. I will probably tell extended family this weekend becuase I can't imagine being around them and not saying anything.
Hey sibling! I'm so glad everything has been going well for you, my friend! Can't wait to hear about the birth of you sweet baby girl. We've come a long way!
austingurl- If you want my two cents, I told quite a few close friends and co-workers (and my immediate family) early, and told work and Facebook around 12 weeks. As a teacher, work also meant my students and tons of parents, so I wanted to wait until I was out of the first trimester. It worked pretty well, and now the cat is out of the bag everywhere. ;-)
austingurl.... it is the hardest secret to keep. I would keep it until 13 weeks, unless you are showing earlier. You want to make sure everything is okay. After I got pregnant the first time I told to many people and then I miscarried. This time I waited until I was 12 weeks as i was showing. I wanted to wait until 13 weeks but that was not an option.
Good luck. It is a hard secret to keep, but well worth it.
Hey everyone ~ had my first of back-to-back IUI's this morning so once again in the 2WW... total motile were 20 million so hoping that ONE of them is able to get the job done!
All the best nettibug, with those numbers one swimmer is all it takes. I order my new vials tomorrow, will look at my 2 options one more time before I call in a little nerve rackinfg seems like it was easier to pick the number donor than to go back and reselect.
Hopein2012 - did you pick a new donor? I changed donors a week before my first IUI (after storing vials for three years, lol) and am a little nervous since he is new so no PG's yet. But hopeful for a BFP this cycle after doing back-to-back IUI's. Only 2 DPiui, waiting, grrrrrrrr!
Nettibug Thanks for asking. Finally narrowed down bet 12645 and 12695... need it to be here by Friday 18th.
I know the feeling, last time was busy with work. My tentative plan if I can stay still is read some non-baby books and catch up on TV shows on hulu or online. Believing for. BFP on my upcoming iui.

anissa- I'm glad they said your numbers were good! I'm doing my second trimester risk factors blood draw today.
Good luck, nettibug! Hope, I'll keep sending positive thoughts for next time!

Austingurl - yes, day 1 starts with the first day of AF.
Sorry Hope:( Looking forward to seeing you try again soon. Good luck!
Good luck nettiibug!
Sibling4lala thanks will be back on the 2ww soon, good luck with your pregnancy
