Hi Everyone

My partner and I are new to this site but are really impressed with what we have come across so far

We started the baby process back in late Dec 09 with our fertility specialist - who is just wonderful. I had tried to prepare my body as much as I could by cutting out caffeine over a couple of months ,taking pregnancy vitamins containing folate etc , walking and trying to eat healthier so that when it came time to do the IUI, my body would be in its best shape.

The process for us has been quite quick as I was fortunate enough to not require any drugs except for the ovulation trigger the day prior to the insemination. After the insemination, exactly 2 weeks ago today my body has been on a bit of a rollercoaster...but an exciting one. I have found myself bloated everyday, along with sore nipples, a bit of irritation and nausea. If I can give advice of any kind it would be to never ever take a home pregnancy test before the 2 weeks after the insemination, as we did it too early and both times had our hearts broken. However, today was a different story....we did the test and "unofficially" we are pregnant. I won't be totally relieved until after the blood tests come back but so far so good!

Cheers
