Hi ladies!
So, my partner and I have been wanting to start a family for a long times and have been actively trying for several cycles. I have tried three ICIs and just had my second IUI on May 24. I will say that I never had very positive feelings after our previous attempts, but my recent IUI was different. It was medicated and I had 4 mature follicles. I did my trigger shot on May 24 at 8AM and went in for the IUI on May 24 at 1:30PM. I immediately had an overwhelming feeling that this was the cycle that would work.
Of course, we all know the TWW is miserable! I'm 8DPO now and have had AF-like cramps for the last couple of days, though I will say they definitely seem to be shorter and more mild. As soon as I started feeling those cramps though, I immediately started feeling a little down though, just because it reminded me of our previous failed attempts. I've had nausea and really horrific allergies since about 6DPO, but the cramps have thrown me for a loop because they feel like AF is coming any time. Has anybody else experienced this? Or is anybody else in the TWW now and symptom spotting and just need some support? I could use just someone to talk to right about now because this experience has felt so isolating.
