    Mini:
    Did you use IUI or ICI? How many tries until success? I will be inseminating IUI first week of December with 11947. Thanks.

    Congrats, Mini!

    Maryrootus -- I'm ttc with 11947 as well. First IUI this coming week. In addition to 5+ pregnancies reported for him, there are now less than 5 live births as well. Good luck to you.

    We used IUI and were very lucky because it worked on the first round. Best of luck to you!

    Hi Maryrootus -- I'll definitely keep you posted. A little more than one week still left to go -- I feel like I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs, although I'm trying to keep busy. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth my sanity to continue tracking my BBT. There's been a slight dip in my temp for the last 2 days -- .2 -- but still well above the coverline. Normally when the number begins to go south, it means AF is on the way, but it's way too early for that.

    Starting my third IUI cycle with 11947. The first was natural; the second, 100mg Clomid.

    How is everyone else doing?

    DrA, well, I am 11dpiui today and I thought that I was having a flurry of nausea here and there and some cramping (possibly implantation) but I just did a hpt and got a BFN. I don't know if it's still too soon but I had a ton of tests from the ER where I work and couldn't hold back. Ugh...I am getting a little bit frustrated yet I know that it takes time. I am 40 yrs old and don't have lots of time.

    How about yourself? Any symptoms yet? Are you going to test?
    Where are you located?

    Hi Jen,

    Those 2ww are mentally hard days. Since day two I am having attacks of bloating, and pressre in my pelvic area. Sometimes it feel like af is coming and sometime just gas attacks. I had one day that I felt like I am getting yeast infection but its gone. Last night was hard. I had so much pressure so I had to take a walk. In general I don't get nausea or vomiting but my digestive system was not happy at all after the walk. I want to eat everyhing...
    I hope is good signs.
    I already tested one just for the fun...I am going for my progsterone level tomorrow and hope its high. I will try to test the day before my monthly visitor is due. I am hoping for BFP next weekend!!
    I hope we will have together october babies!!
    I am in south Florida and its cold day here...
    Have amazing sunday!!

    Hi Jen,

    I decided to go thru this process alone and did not tell anyone but my parents (once I feel the pregnancy is ok will tell everyone). I like this bulletin board. Great way to meet great women. I met Gentry and we became good friends. We have so much in common and I hope our kids will be great friends. I hope one day we all meet and laught about our journey.
    Right now I am waiting for my lab results and for an easy week!!
    Stay in touch,
    dra

    Hi all,

    Just over 6 weeks with 11947. I've got an ultrasound scheduled for Monday -- exciting!

    How are the rest of you doing/feeling?

    DrA -- I had the same pelvic pressure/bloating that you described around the time I got my BFP. It was at its worse at night. Never felt anything like it. From what folks were saying, it was the uterus already beginning its stretching.
