Persephone, I get what you're saying. It can be a little off-putting having people looking down there, especially if it's something you haven't had to do very often. I also understand about the different sized speculums. I'm a "very small" make (sorry !) and my GP knows this when I go for my Paps but I find it quite uncomfortable when other Drs go straight for the Med or Large size and when I went for my ET FS only had a bigger one and then told me he wasn't able to lube it up which made it even worse, and then just after it was in he realised it wasn't quite right and had to twist it, well I nearly jumped thru the roof! So I hear ya!
But my trick here, I think of two things. I think that (1) This could very well lead me to the one thing I want more than anything else in the world so a few minutes of embarrassment and discomfort i worth it and (2) I think of my own mother. When I was born I was feet first my poor mother had not only the OB and Dad looking down there, but also 4 student Drs and a university lecturer!
I get what you mean about the "intimacy" part too, for me it's all a little too cold and clinical, not ever how I imagined myself trying to create a family, but hey let's just pray that we all get our BFPs soon so it makes it all worthwhile!
hi everyone!
i had my 6th iui last thursday. yey, nearly half way there!!!
MRS P - GL with your sensitive nipples!!
MITF - i have had exactly what i think you have. it's a chocolate cyst. because it is filled with dead blood (TMI!!) mine was there for a few months before i had it removed with lap #2. Lap #1 was for polyps and endo. not sure if you have been diagnosed with any other problems, but a lap is a good way to find them out! GL with it all.
persephone - welcome and GL. i did IVF last august. the ET didn't other me,but the 2 litres of fluid that filled my stomach did. i was big and very uncomfortable. i think i am getting a bit to use to having someone prod and poke me down in my "personal" area!!! that is very sad.....
INfinity - GL with your transfer on the weekend. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. i think that is a great sign! i always look for signs. anything i can hold onto as a positive thing. i even get excitted when i get a good carpark on the day!!
hello to BOC, JBM and LOOPS12 and everyone else this month!!
bye

Baby2Bee, good luck with the detox program, hoping it brings you everything you want. x
Mitf, sorry about your cyst, I've never had one but it sounds like your FS knows how to handle it, hoping no problems for you.
Mrs P - thanks for the birthday wishes! now how are those nipples? lol
Kittycat - thanks for the birthday wishes, I'm hoping its a sign too.
Good luck to all, especially all the girls in TWW land - my ET is tomorrow so I'll be coming to join you in your thread soon. Please please let this be it!!!!!
