About Us

After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.

IVF Converted to IUI Complete - TWW Begins

IUI is complete!   Pretty bad pains on my right side.  Maybe fluid just filling my empty follicles on that side?  I doubt I'd get any OHSS with e2 only 1125 on the day of trigger.  So there was a little bit of blood after the IUI.  I hope it was from my cervix and not from my uterus.  When she had the catheter in there I swear she poked me with the end.  I felt a sudden pinch then a few flutters like spasms.  Maybe it was when she put the sample in and it going through my thinner left tube?  Who knows.  Either way I hope everything is okay.  She said I had about 5 matures when they triggered so I'm just lucky they let us attempt this and didn't just cancel outright.  So I'm officially in the TWW!!!

    1. I've been tracking "symptoms" if you can even call them that. I have pretty much no symptoms so far. I am pretty bummed. I knew an IUI would be a hail Mary but I was hoping so badly. Today is 7dpo. I suppose i should post my symptom log for inquiring minds.....

  2. You know how this 'dance' goes. You don't know til you know. You haven't gotten AF yet so it's most definitely NOT a bust!!! It ain't over til it's over!

    1. I know. I've been comparing everything to my successful BFP cycle and even my BFP cycle that ended in M/C. Both I had tons of cramping/pinching on 8dpo. That is today and so far I feel completely normal.

    2. Yep, just checked. My February '14 cycle which was a BFN had absolutely no symptoms.... just like now. :(
