Two week wait! Gosh, its absolutely crazy...buddies needed!

Hi All.Am new to this forum and its so great to see this much support especially for the 2ww!!!

After trying 3 cycles of ovulation induction on Clomid, I went through a medicated cycle (with injectables) of IUI has month. Unfortunately, it wasnt successful last time ...think it has something to do with the amount of stress I took on 2 days after the IUI.

This cycle, I am on a natural cycle and noticed a pretty different story with regards to the growth of my follicles. In the medicated cycle, I ovulated on D19 (super slow growth of my follies!!!) and this cycle, with zero medication, I took the triffer & IUI on D12. For the IUI, my RE noticed that my LH was on surge mode (LH 28, E2 2092), gave me the trigger and performed the IUI (all within 8 hours). Is this normal?

I am on dpiui5 and now have my fingers & toes crossed for this cycle. We have been TTC (Me 34, Hubby 36) for the last 4 years and hoping BIG time that this cycle is the one. Am I supposed to have any symptoms within a week??? Gosh, this is just driving me nuts!

 

Hi Luckyme...Yeah, I am trying ot keep things as stress free as possible and eat a truck of healthy food.

Now thats the tricky part, I dont know if I ovulated before the IUI or after the IUI was done from an ultrasound perspective, but then I do tend to feel the spasms of ovulation every cycle. This cycle my case was quite funny. I went to the doc on day10 with the expectation of hearing that maybe we can give this cycle a pass, but instead when the ultrasound was done, we found a solid follicile of 14mm and a good endo of 9mm. My E2 and LH #s were also very strong, so she suggested why not try the natural IUI route this time, since all the #s seem to be well on track. Looking at my LH #, follicle size, I was more or less convinced that I would ovulate on d13, so went for the review on d12. On d12, LH had started to surge and my follicle had become 18mm, which she felt was ready to act on. So the trigger followed and 2 hours later IUI. During the IUI, she did monitor the follicle, but guess due to the pain and discomfort, I didnt ask her if the rupture had happened

My confusion started when I started to develop nasty pelvis pain nearly 36 - 48 hours after, couldnt even stand and was feeling nauseous. Post that not really too many symptoms other than feeling feverish and nasty pain in my foot.

I am so hoping this cycle works as my beta would be very close to my 4th anniversary/ Fingers and toes crossed.....
