Hi Gals,


YEs Paula; I meant you! Hehe there is only one Paula and its fantastic to see you. How are you going with the waiting?
Nicole and Belinda: I am feeling well i think. I had the iui done and well last month his count was 10 million which was a little low and we wondered if it was because of antibiotics he was on. So i encouraged him to drink loads of water and take a multi vitamin and also got him onto a zinc supplement and totally off the smokes-not even 2 a day. Todays count was 100million. I couldnt believe it when the fs told me,nearly fell off the chair. So i have 100 million tadpoles swimming around searching for the right egg to get cosy in. That thought alone makes me feel nauseas. Then tonight we get busy dtd again and all the way through till monday night. Its very tiring. My tummy is achey and i wonder if i'm even up to it?
He also gave me an ovidrel injection to take home this time and said to do that next thursday as it is meant to help to lengthen the cycle and sustain a pregnancy. Don't know about that. But we didnt do that last IUI so i dont know if someone forgot to tell us. we used to do it that way with timed intercourse. is anyone else doing the injection a few days after iui or is it just me. i'm so nervous still. How silly,its not like its new to me. Just feel totally wired. Really strange. Anyway a busy weekend planned trying to be sneaky sneaky around the kids. he might have to wash my back in the shower and i might have to drop the soap. Hmmmmm;ohh that sounds like funnn. Oh boy i must be ovulating if i'm in this mood. god i have to keep a lid on it till the kids are in bed and then i can jump him. Can't wait. Yipee:nana:

What the 100 Million!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Crap!!!!
DH was in the bathroom room as I said this figure out loud....and couldn't believe it.
I since looked in the kitchen cupboard and have made him take a zinc tablet for good measure.
Polly, a small army has descended on you....have fun BD all weekend

[BB73]

OMG Polly....that number is amazing!!! I showed your post to my DH and suggested that he follow your DH's lead. I have to say He has been quite good this month. We went to a wedding last night and he only had 4 beers. He found it quite hard but was kind of excited that he woke this morning without the usual headache after a night on the beers!
Nicole, how are you feeling? I have my first blood test tomorrow, but I have to say I am not getting the achey ovary feelings like I did last month. Hope this isn't a bad sign!
Paula...how are you coping with the waiting?
Belinda

[Nicole S]

Hey Belinda, good work on DH behalf....I thought with the Dragons loss a beer would numb the pain
I too am not feeling anything the same as last cycle.
Had some lower cramping after the IUI which ended on Friday.
No sore BB, didn't even have any CM this month, even though when they were doing the IUI the nurse could see it...
To be honest I am not hopeful at all ... and to top it off this morning I have woken up with a head cold
Sorry for the doom and gloom...but after all it is Monday.
Oh yeah I have my progesterone test on Wednesday so I am looking forward to find out if I did O as I don't think I did

[*Paula*]

Hello ladies,

i am back from my lovely romantic and relaxing weekend away with DH. We had lots of fun

Polly 100milion tadpoles, thats fantastic!!! Well done to your DH.

Belinda good luck with your BT tomorrow. Hope you get some good news.

Nicole best of luck with your progesterone results. How come i didnt have one of those?

Well i had my last Pregnyl injection this morning and it really stung. Kind of like a wicked send off. I have also had some lower back pain and slight cramps almost like the beginning of AF cramps over the weekend. Its still too soon for AF though isnt it? I keep checking everytime i go to the loo.. Please stay away you wicked witch
