I hope you don't mind me posting as I am a newbie.
Hubby and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years, had countless tests and all seems okay. I am one of those "unexplained" cases.
I am in my after my 2nd IUI and feeling nervous about the result.
I thought it might be calming to talk to others who share this journey as none of my friends nor family have been through this.
I also don't know if I want to go ahead with a 3rd IUI cycle...... I am sceptical as Endo has not been eliminated and I have been told that IUI is kinda pointless if I do have Endo.
Any advice or stories anyone could share with me would be so VERY much appreciated
Hello lovely ladies...firstly, thanks so much for all your support and well wishes.
The good news is, our Frostie thawed OK and we had a lovely 5 day blastocyst transferred at lunchtime today. It was a big day for us, with a total of 6 hours driving, but hopefully this is the start now of our little one growing. Fingers crossed! As soon as I arrived back I went for a session with the acupuncturist, so feeling nice and relaxed. And now DH is cooking me some dinner. I so hope this is our turn for a BFP. Now the waiting begins.....
Bel, glad you have sorted things with work and have a plan for the future, and at least a little less stress. It will hopefully help you move forward to a better place. Hugs to you and thanks for all the nice support.
JBM, same goes for you...I'm thinking of you... it's hard to regroup but I found planning the best step helped me after our last cycle.

Nicole- glad things are porgressing well for you...getting closer now

Kaydee- pleased to hear you are having good progress
brideofchucky- good luck with the fitness and boot camp!you running in the rain made me smile
abbie, Janie and Kelly- hello, hope you are all doing well- thanks for the well wishes

I guess I'll head over to the TWW now...I can't believe I am heading back in there already
Lots has happened this week I feel drained and emotional!
Possums congratulations on the transfer and hope you end up with a BFP this time!
Shelbee welcome! I did IUI for 2 cycles, and then decided to move in to IVF. I dont have endo, but just wanted to move onto the next step. I was getting frustrated with IUI and only decided to give it a go b/c the FS said I should. Good luck I hope it all works out for you, I know a few people who have success with it.
JBM I think its great that you are spending the next week looking after yourself. I dont know about you but since I have started all this treatment I seem to be slowly but gradually gaining weight and plan to do the same if this cycle doesnt work out for me.
NicoleS that's great news, looks like you, Kaydee and myself will be very close this cycle as my EPU has been confirmed for Tuesday. 9 follicles is great, congrats!
Bell sorry things didnt work out for you this cycle, but its great that you have your plan to move forward now. Keep positive and I'm sure the BFP cant be too far away.
BrideofChucky Boot camp sounds great, a friend of mine lost lots of weight doing that, good on you for being healthy!
Kaydee Congratulations on the 13 follicles, and wishing the best of luck for Monday, Next week will be interesting with a few of us having our EPU's.
To everyone else good hope you are all doing well and plan to enjoy yourselves this weekend!
AFM what can I say, I have had a crazy week. Went to the FS last Friday, there we 4 follicles, so he increased my gonal-f to 450 for 5 days. So I went back on Wednesday and GUESS WHAT, still only 4 follicles! Talk about being devasted! Anyway upped my dose to 600 and had another visit today. As expected still only 4 follicles. FS says for some reason the ones on my Right ovaries are not doing anything and I have 4 on my left that are ready. So still on 600 (which btw is making me emotional, and making me cry which I hate to do!)until EPU. We are going ahead with the EPU on Tuesday, the nurses called me earlier to confirm. I am excited now, still dissapointed with only 4 follicles, but I am just hoping they are good ones and all fertalise and give me my BFP!
Sorry for the long post but I haven't written all week!

Yay Possums! Hope all goes well for you and you get that great . Glad I could make you smile. If it makes you feel even better I'm doing it all again 2moro at dawn - yep even on a Saturday! (groan)
Shelbee! These guys rock and you can learn so much from them!
LuckyStrike: Am those follies do as they're told! Good luck for Tues!
JBM: Good to see you're getting better day by day! Retail therapy is my favourite kind, especially those of the footwear persuasion (my other nickname is Imelda)
Bel: :goodluck2: with your next cycle hun! AF is also good as she gives you an excuse to eat lots, be moody and behave badly without question
Sorry guys I'm in a completely crazy and twisted mood tonight!
Hope everyone else is doing well, whatever stage you're at!
AFM I'm good. Glad it's Friday. Glad I don't have to see my boss for two days. Just biding my time & counting sleeps. Speaking of which, me & the furry-kid are off to bed!
