Hi Kaydee and welcome to our thread. Just out of curiosity, are you on Puregon? How did you find your previous cycle? Which clinic are you going through?

[Kaydee78]

Thanks for your welcome! I've been reading for the last few weeks since discovering the site and thought it was time I joined... Our attempt at a 2nd oi-iui cycle (March) was cancelled before it even got started - still had follicles left over from first cycle. The last month has dragged waiting for AF so we're finally back on the treatment bandwagon... It's great there is a site allowing us to share our experiences. As Paula said, it's surprising how many women have trouble conceiving but it's not until you start talking you realise just how many.

Polly & Nicole.. TWW is torture. Gotta find some distractions!

Belinda... GL on Thurs.

Fingers crossed for all of you.

Hi Paula, I'm on Gonal-f. My first cycle all happened so quickly once I got started. U/S 6 days after starting injections showed 1 dominant follicle ready to go. IUI was completed one week after the treatment had started. I'm hoping this month is smooth sailing.. it's quite emotional all the waiting and hoping each step in the process does what it needs to do in order to progress further...
I'm going through Westmead Fertility Centre. Where are you going through?

My cycle has been quicker than what i expected too. I had my blood test at day 9 and it showed i had responded well so i had the IUI the next day. I hope it worked Im at IVF Australia at St George Private.

Hello

How is everyone going today? Its rather quiet in here.

I have been doing lots of searches about Pregnyl today to find out if it can give you cramps etc as i have had AF like cramps for a few days now, lower back pain, i cant sleep at night but then i am really really tired during the day and my BB are sore and swollen.. And yes it is all a result of the Pregnyl. Damn drugs. Im not assuming or suggesting that i think they are pregnancy symptoms, i just hate feeling like rubbish all day long

Hey Paula, don't be discouraged mate...just cause it feels like AF it still might not be.
I have heard that women feel AF pains and they are PG!!
I am waiting for the clinic to call me to find out if I O this month....the waiting is killing me.
This mornings bloods did not go so well...the vein was not working but the nurse just got just enough for the test....thank god.
It took me 1hour and 20min to get to the clinic...when it normally takes me 15 min...then had to fly to work...
Hope everyone else is doing well today...
