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

[Minigingerbread]

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 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....

just had my ultrasound and there are TWO mature follicles! looking promising this month!!!! Im SO nervous! I have to give myself the trigger shot tonight and I will have the IUI done on Wed; seems so soon. I am so ready and pray to God that this works. I know its our first round of IUI but I have a good feeling! I thank God for you ladies for helping me keep my head up through all of this!

[Minigingerbread]

I wish you lovely ladies all the best! You have been part of my very difficult ttc journey and I'll never forget that! I hope to continue to be involved in yours. I pray to God to grant you both the same miracle He has finally granted me. All the best for you!

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 :)
