ReplyDeleteGL to you too, sweet girl! Did you click on the link? There are over 50 pages of stories!!! Fingers crossed for you.
DeleteAre you going to POAS? I got my BFP at 7dp5dt. Do you have any symptoms?
ReplyDeleteDoes an OPK 7dp5dt count? Symptoms: fatigue, mild cramping, some foods taste funny, dizziness upon standing. Hope those are good symptoms!!!

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: After the first couple of IUIs didn't work, I wish I would have skipped the rest. Except my Follistim+ IUI canceled cycle was helpful because I overstimulated. Good diagnostic. I think that's why my RE was able to prescribe me a low dose of Follistim for IVF and never had any OHSS symptoms.
SOOOOOOOOO excited about your BFP. Can't wait to hear about your fabulous beta!! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteOh, and I agree. I wish I had skipped at least 1-2 of my 4 IUIs...blah.

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process: Be ready for a dry spell in the bedroom (no sex for nearly a month now - eek!) but the whole process was relatively pain-free all the way through. The shots weren't so bad, and the ER was pretty easy. I was terrified of OHSS, but I really think eating high protein diet and drinking lots of water before helped! It's SO possible for it to work on the first try!
Thanks for sharing, Becky!!! Congrats to you, sweet girl. Let us know how your U/S goes.
