I am pretty sure this is the most frustrating part of the process! This is me and my partner's 3rd cycle try...we inseminated via ICI 3 times this month. Just waiting now.. anyone else in this wait with us? I have a doc appointment on the 3rd so we should be able to test by then. I so hope 3 is a charm... I am Letha, my partner Melissa...how you doin?

    I appreciate the responses! there is something to be said about not feeling alone in this wait. I know Melissa is just as anxious, but somehow when you are the one who may be pregnant it is such a different kind of anxious, wondering what is going on (or not) inside you and what the next 9 months may (or may not) entail. I haven't had any unusual dreams, I just keep telling Melissa, I dont feel anything! She just laughs..lol.. being that we have done this for 3 cycles already it can get a little defeating, but just for a minute.. I text Melissa intermittenly during the day "think pregnant...think pregnant...think pregnant" I suppose our next step is IUI's if this time isn't successful..I have to say trying at home as been an experience that is for sure!! All my best wishes out to all of us in our 2ww..THINK PREGNANT!! ;O)

    So... anyone here feeling any symptoms? I feel really bloated lol...I'm only on day two
  • lethasuelethasue Posts: 59
    Well, I am on day 8 of the first day we inseminated, we did ICI the 17, 18 and 19th so we can test as early as the 31st, but we have a doc appt the 3rd so we will probably get a blood test then. My boobs are really sore and my lower back hurts.....BUT...those are the same symptoms I have before PMS and the last two times we inseminated unsuccessfully. So, the symptoms mean nothing to me, if anything it is not a good thing as it hasn't been in the past. Sucks. I guess I feel more like it didnt work so I wont be disappointed.. silly huh. I ve researched so much about what we might feel in these two weeks and pretty much its not much to go by...we just have to wait.. so hard.

    I'm on day 13 of my third insemination and I've had three pos hpts. I have my blood work scheduled for tomorrow and I'm hoping hoping hoping it takes this time. The last time we tried in May I developed major cysts and had to hold off for a few months.

    lethasue,

    I am so sorry to hear that AF has reared its ugly head. Next time it will work for sure.

    I am hanging in there. I have a couple more days to go. With sore boobs though I think I will be getting a visit from AF too...:((((
