IUI number 1

Yesterday I had my first IUI. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, I was expecting some discomfort but it was more than that. I was told that when you are close of ovulation  that your uterus wall is thicker and I was irritated. So the discomfort was more than expected and the spotting was more than expected as well. Today everything cleared up I have a little cramping but over all as of this evening I am feeling much better.

Now I am on to focus on my two week wait. I am just nervous I am excited and really hope that I can be a lucky first time and get a positive. But I also really don't want to get disappointed. So I am having trouble trying to find a middle for my emotions and I am finding it hard. My spouse is more excited than I feel like I am. Is that strange? Hoping after the first rough 24 hours I get a bit more positive. 

Any pointers how to get through the two week wait period?

I don't know what to expect from an IUI, but I just wanted to wish you luck!

I had been thinking of you Happy Wishes

Hang in there Kristi! I know the wait is killer. try to keep your mond busy. puzzles. work, etc... but remember its ok, even if its not a positive. I didn't get a positive after last cycle and I was completely bummed. But now it's been a couple weeks and I'm doing ok. (Much better actually). Time really sucks!

Its so great you have an excited and supportive spouse too! it makes it easier to share the joy and pain with someone who gets you and can give comfort.

My hubby has been great too. We decided to watch the OV tests this month but not do IUI. I surged on Saturday, and i think we were pretty successful at performing the procedure on our own. (wink, wink!) so well see how it pans out this month. Hubby has made it a little easier to be excited and hopeful rather than anxious and agitated! (It really helps keep my stress levels down if I'm in a positive mood)

You'll be ok too! I'm routing for ya Hun! BFP! Here we come!
