LT TTC - First time IUI

[Nicole S]

Belinda you are so brave, I could't give myself the puregon or the trigger injections...so I take my Musketeer hat of to you

Cherie, your very welcome... find comfort that we are all in the same boat just in different stages.

AHi My muskateers!!!!

Well we have some newbies. i must extend a bow, handshake and cuddle to them!! Very sorry to hear Cherie that your first iui was a bummer. Really sorry

As for the injections after iui when i had my ultrasound to measure the follies she said my endometrium looked lovely and thick and fluffy. Very cosy. Hehehe. so maybe thats why i didnt need to have the injections post iui.

Paula, Where are you?
Where is Af; she needs to get a wiggle on for a change. When you don't want her she rocks up unannounced and when you do-ya can;t find her anywhere!She is a pain in the buttox,,,Speaking of botox-i want some. Just worried its not the best thing to do whilst ttc-putting poison in my body dosent sound to good. nyway knowing my luck I'd end up looking like the joker.

Nicole and Belinda: this tww is killlllling me. Aaaaarghh. i have a rdo today and its all i can think about. At work i don't have time for my "own"thoughts. Thankfully. How am i ever going to get through the next few days boggles me. You girls must be feeling the same. But the waiting
Keep me posted on how you are all travelling:

[[COLOR="Magenta"]FONT="Georgia"]Hey Nicole,
Poor me i work in a pharmacy and i already have one ready to go in the bathroom cupboard. We have just had a shop refit at work and yesterday i was restocking all the shelves looking at all the pregnancy tests and baby stuff. Grrr its so hard. i'm very determined to not test as i don't want to jinx myself and i know how extremely stupid that sounds. It sounds so dumb. Do you think you can wait? And you know what i got my diary out and blood test is meant to be tuesday not wednesday. I think i'll make myself wait anyway. I worry every single time i go to the toilet analysing the toilet paper;thinking will this be the wee that shatters my dreams?Or is she staying away for a long time...
Fingers crossed that this is the month that the muskateers rule. And all for one we have lots of babies. Yeeeah. lets have twins
Ok maybe one will be enough. we will be so blessed to have one perfect little
I can feel it in my bones..[/COLOR][/FONT]

Hey Polly, I too have a pack of HPT in the cupboard waiting for me but will try and stay strong and not test.
Are your BB still sore? Mine aren't as bad as last week but still feel bruised.
Other than that I feel the same.

[pollyanna]

Hmmm
Nope sore boobs gone, but i do have an achey tummy... I keep going to the loo to check. This is going to be akiller the next few days. How unreal on you having a birthday party;thats brilliant!. and i bet you arent drinking-just in case.....

[Nicole S]

I know the loo run all to well, I go when I don't even need to...just to check.
Sunday should be great to catch up with family and friends but like you said I'll probably keep away from the drinking just incase.

Hi Polly, I am a regular user of botox, but was told by my surgeon that he would not inject anyone who is trying to fall, or who are pregnant. There are not enough studies to show if there are any ill effects on the baby. It has been over 12 months since my last lot and I can see myself ageing more and more everyday. The minute I finish breast feeding I will be calling Dr for an appointment!!!

Because I am having the pregnyl injections (which are HCG) I have been told not to do a HPT as I will get a positive even if I'm not pregnant. I guess in a way it is good as it takes the stress out of deciding to test before the bloods. The other ****ty thing about the pregnyl is that it can cause some people to experience pregnancy like symptoms. But at this stage I'm not feeling anything.

Polly, I am a sales rep and spend most of my working day in my car, on my own. I have too much time to think about things!! It does my head in some times.

Nicole, I hope you enjoy your party on the weekend. I have given up drinking at this point, but you should be able to have one glass. A friend of mine was told by her GP the day she found out she was pregnant to go home and have a wine in celebration! I have a party to go to this saturday also. It is my girlfriend's 2 yo daughters. And there will be a lot of babies in attendence. Not sure how I will feel, but I am hoping all the baby germs will rub off on me!!! Then it's off to the footy - my beloved eels vs the Dogs!! I love football season, my husband thinks I grow balls in winter! I tend to stay home for 26 weekend in a row and watch every game of footy and my social life takes a nosedive. Good thing one of my best friends loves the game as much as me and also has a season pass to Parramatta Stadium otherwise I would be a complete social outcast!!!

Hey Polly im still around.. Still waiting for Af so nothing much to report thats why i havent been around but i am stalking all you lovely ladies and cant wait to read about all the BFP's!

[Nicole S]

Hello fellow musketeers, with only 4 sleeps to go the waiting finally made me crack at work today.
Knowing you have to be patient when trying fertility treatment is logical, but logic is not helping me at all today.
I feel like I put on this brave face and tell the world that if I keep busy I will convince myself that I am ok.
In truth we all know that is a lie....
Anyway sorry for the feeling sorry for myself speech.

Paula, glad to hear that you are still stalking.... that AF hurry's up for you so you can get started...
Belinda, that must be a killer spending time on your own driving around with all your thoughts. I sit in front of a computer all day with and can log onto the net and read and read... it too does my head in
Polly, ....only 5 more sleeps for you to go!!
Cherie, hope your doing ok since AF. Is DH home yet?

[pollyanna]

Well Girls;
Its all over for me. I got up this morning to be greated in full force with Af. Raging like there is no tommorow. I havent cried. I feel kind of numb. My first reaction was astonishe=ment(because i was so sure)then anger at my body for letting me down once again and having wasted all this damn money on fertility treatment.It sounds stupid and i don't mean to be too philosophical but is god trying to tell me to not tempt fate. I have two wonderful adorable healthy kids. Maybe enough is enough. I'm sure i could pickup more hours at work to keep me busy. This just isnt really the plan i had in mind. I see how much all of us would love another child. Even my older kids,11 and 8. In fact especially them, but really do i want to be having a baby at 38. I most certainly didnt want to be carrying a baby over the hottest months of the year and yet that would now seem likely. My fs was lovely and said i can imagine how hurt and disappointed you are and he even said he was sorry. Which i thought was beautiful. I told him i was having second thoughts. He said sleep on it and think it over. I still have a few days up my sleeve to think about things.I also said myself that i'm probably not thinking with the right part of my brain at the moment to go making decisions,so a couple of days should help. you girls know me a little now, what do you think i should do and how should i be feeling or viewing this situation. I really care for you girls you have been a wonderful support and i value your opinions deeply. Please tell me when you get your BFP's i will be so delighted for you and elated and honoured to share in your joy. At least i can drink on the weekend now.Heheheh

[Nicole S]

Oh Polly, I'm so sorry that she showed up
Give yourself and your body some time, the hormones alone may be playing tricks on how you feel at the moment.
It would be a comfort to have two beautiful healthy kids, but it's not wrong and I don't think you would be tempting fate to want to grow your family.
Try and get some rest and treat yourself with anything that can help numb the pain.
Take care of yourself and know that your musketeers are here for you
