Anyone else expecting AF tomorrow/in a few days' time, and hoping she doesn't show up?

Gosh, AF is due tomorrow and I'm so hoping and praying hard that she doesn't arrive. I monitor my bbt very closely and AF always arrive on the same day of a bbt drop in the morning. I have been stressing every morning these few days waiting to take my thermometer reading. I even dream about taking my bbt and seeing it go down before I wake up! My husband will never understand the emotions I'm going through, so I'm hoping I can find some support with you girls out there, and we can encourage one another!
So far I'm having those typical symptoms that can be either PMS or pregnancy ones. I don't even dare to get my hopes up. Why do the wait and anticipation have to be sooooo hard?

Hi there, well I'll try my best to explain chiropractic care :)
Basically it believes that every human being has an innate healing ability, provided this ability is not inhibited by external forces. These external forces commonly come in the form of distortion of your spine, which they call 'subluxation'. When your spine is distorted, nerves between spinal discs are pinched, and disrupts signals and feedbacks to your brain, hence hindering your self-healing process. By adjusting your spine back to its original posture, your body is able to fully function to its original state of how it is designed to function, one of which is reproduction.
I believe you can google for more detailed explanations!
Hope I helped!

I have something to share with you, ladies. My sister is pregnant too! I recommended her to my chiropractor and, like me, she conceived within a month! She's 34 this year, and has been ttc for 2+ years. She has a 5-year-old.
I'm not sure of the ease of consulting a chiropractor in your areas. I do hope that you can find one easily and reap the same benefits that I have. Wish you all the best!

Thanks for all the crossed fingers! I find out in 12days, hooray for another 2WW.

Ive been feeling ok, some cramping today and lower back cramping which is weird because im only 4dpiui, but we are hanging in there and hoping for the best! Because I had to use the hcg trigger shot, I really cant POAS because I might get a false positive so I am telling myself that I REAAALLLY should fight the urge when the time gets closer!

Glad to hear from you :)

Hi roxlynn, how are things going for you? I'm not familiar with IUI so I don't know what you will be going through. I do hope things work out for you!

Hi amy, how are your test results? I'm 10 weeks now. Experiencing all the discomforts but thank God so far no bleeding. My doc says my nausea and the other reactions are a good sign that the baby is growing well (I've been nauseated since weak 3 till now!). It's still too early to tell the gender yet. Guess I still need to wait a few weeks more, though my TCM doc says it is a boy! Well only time will tell....

thank you for your crossed fingers :) I hope your IVF is successfull, I will def be thinking of you! My insurance does not cover IVF so it would be 20,000 out of pocket for each cycle so we have decided that we would just adopt if IUI doesnt work. At least that way we will have spent the money on a child instead of a chance because I am afraid we wont be able to afford IVF and then adoption. That said, if we did have some sort of coverage we would explore it. I am a nurse in the NICU at same hopsital as my infertility doctor works for so maybe they would help me out (wishful thinking!) I guess I just have a feeling that IUI will work! Several of my cousins are adopted and I was raised by a man that is not my biological father and I am loved as if I were so it makes no difference to us!

For you I hope AF shows up this month and then not again for at least 9 months! Keep me posted, and I wish you the absolute BEST!!!

Aww thats great news!! i hope you get lots of eggs :-) fingers firmly crossed for you hun!! I like your spirit, and even if your last option was to adopt you dont have to be biologically connected to be a mummy or an excellent parent!
Clomid is funny my DF calls it Clo-mad when i took a few cycles it made me really paranoid lol Also made me put about a stone on so im working on that at the min i found i was constantly hungry! But on the upside its really regulated my ovulation/AF.
Well AF due for me today not had my temp drop yet but its only a matter of time im actually willing AF to come for the first time so i can get on with IVF, Could you not try IVF if IUI didnt work?? Glad you have finally got a doc thats helping you :) Keep us updated :)

So good to hear from all of you! We have been good. Taking it day by day, staying positive. We talked about it alot and if we are not meant to have a child naturally that is totally fine because nothing will prevent us from having children. If these procedures (IUI) doesnt work, we are going to adopt! So making this choice has lifted so much weight off my shoulders because we WILL be parents and that is all I ever wanted. I really think that iui will work (just a feeling i guess) but if it doesnt then we wont lose hope. In a way this experience over the last year and a half has brought my husband and I so much closer than I could have ever imagined; we are so much more bonded and I didnt think it was possible to love him more! So I just know that this is exactly what was meant for me, and I am supposed to experience this!

Right now I am on my 4th day of Clomid, HOLY HORMONES! I am crying at tv commercials! haha. Its making me tired and giving me headaches but its really not too bad. I have my ultrasound on Monday to see how many eggies are matured so I am excited to get through the weekend! I am so happy I found a good doctor that is really taking good care of me!

Keep me posted ladies, good to hear from you!!!!

Thanks so much! I'm 9 weeks now. Having all the typical pregnancy complaints: nausea, constipation, crap appetite, frequent pee, etc. But I thank God everyday for answering my prayers despite all these discomforts. So far all my scans and blood tests results are 'very good' according to my doctor. My TCM doctor says its going to be a boy! Well I'll wait for confirmation a few months later by the scans!
Honey do check out chiropractic in your area. I actually conceived within a month of seeing one! It might be just a coincidence, or a combination of factors. But it did provide me with the ray of hope! I hope it will do the same wonder for you!
