IUI after WLS
Can't say. I don't know if anyone can. Sometimes it is wishful thinking, wanting something so badly that you start imaging symptoms. Before I got pregnant, I'd ask my hubby if he thought my breasts looked larger, smells made me nauseous and I'd hope against hope, and then I'd get my flow. Though the first time we did IUI, I did test early not from feeling symptoms but because of my impatience. :) I never expected to see PREGNANT in the window. I immediately did another test because i thought it was mistaken. A few days afterwards, at roughly the two week marker, that's when most of the symptoms started for me. Some women react to it sooner than others. I'm trying to remember when the smell of raw shrimp made me nauseous, I want to say it might have been before testing, but then again, dog food does that to me all the time even when not pregnant so that didn't phase me at all. I never had diarrhea. My symptoms were sore nipples, not crampy exactly, but the feeling that happens when the uterus starts to stretch some, just a dull ache, not the cramps associated with PMS or menses. I tested at a week and a half, roughly four or five days early.
Truly bare in mind that every woman is really different. I have to remind myself when I look at pictures of women who are 17 months with their beautiful baby bumps. I am 17 weeks, but I'm still wearing the same pants size I did when I got pregnant. I try not to get nervous because I haven't felt movement yet, but people tell me the same thing. Every woman is different. It's hard to hear that all the time. :)
DH and I conceived our 5 1/2 month old son on our first IUI cycle :) I used injectable medications along with the IUI. Did you take fertility meds at all? If you did, the medication can make you ovulate multiple eggs which gives you a higher progesterone level than usual, and progesterone can cause all of the pregnancy symptoms! I hope you get your BFP!
(Oh and no I haven't been on and fertility meds. After my bypass my honors went back to normal so no extra help needed so far. But thanks for that info. I didn't know progesterone made you sick )

Yes this is my first IUI. We are doing frozen sperm (same sex marriage) we are so excited and my wife has been great trying to keep me calm. Last month was suppose to be my first try was disappointed that I wasn't able to but I keep telling myself thay my time will come. I have made plans to keep myslef stress free but busy for the next couple of weeks as well as during the two week wait. I will be sure that I don't run myself too much and just make time to just relax and sleep. I am sure this weekend ill get some good sleep I have 24 inches of snow coming tomorrow in to Saturday
I'm due to test this weekend so I should have an update. I'm feeling crampy as well as nauseous and (sorry) diarrhea. And my boobs are killing me! Lol I'm hopeful but I'm thinkin no luck this try. I think I'm excited to find out either way so I can move to the next step. The procedure is nothing compared to the dreadfully long 2 week wait! Ugh!
Stay strong!
