Yesterday also showed us that some complete strangers can be extremely kind. When Jeff went to pick up the sp.erm sample from the storage place, he was prepared to pay for three months of storage: $150 total. The wonderful receptionist only charged us for one month of storage, and told Jeff to use the other $100 to buy the baby a gift. God bless her kindness and optimism.
I am bouncing back and forth in my thoughts on this IUI. On one hand, I know there's no guarantee it'll work. On the other, I keep thinking "How can it not work with four freaking huge targets!?!?!" I'm trying not to go down that thought path. I guess I just don't know how to stay positive without being overly optimistic. And I'll probably never learn.
Happy Friday Everyone!
I glad to hear the IUI went well! And how wonderful that you were only charged for 1/3 of the storage time! That's amazing! A good omen perhaps? Wishing you the best!
ReplyDeleteI have had cramping after an IUI, and it was significant but only lasted three or four hours. I'm guessing because you triggered and had four follies that the cramping could have lasted several hours, but if it continues tomorrow I'd check in with your doc. Did they give you a thawed motile count?
ReplyDeleteHow very nice of the clinic! Glad to hear good things like that still go on.
Crossing everything for you!
I had pretty intense cramping (and a subsequent headache) after my first IUI. I'd take some Tylenol and rest!
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the "gift"!
A kind stranger what a nice surprise! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteTotally rooting for you! That was very, very nice of the freezer facility lady.
ReplyDeleteI had some cramps after my SHG. Not exactly the same, but it involves a catheter entering the uterus.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Good luck.
I hope that you are feeling better soon. What an exciting day. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and Jeff.
ReplyDeleteI had cramping after most of my IUIs. Especially the one where I had three big follies all on my right ovary.
ReplyDeleteHope this cycle is it!
Keeping my fingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Julie....
ReplyDeleteI also had a lot of cramping the last few IUI's that I had. Not sure why. The nurses at my RE's office actually were ready to do a lavage at one point thinking that I was allergic..... Just stopped by to wish you luck....trying IComLeavWe for the first time....
Take care!

Hi Julie...I found you on the IComLeavWe list & am also in the 2ww..."positive without beeing overly optimistic" Well put...I'm afraid to get my hopes up yet don't want to give up hope either...wishing you a BFP with this one!
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes is impossibly hard to remain positive. I had cramping after IUI, didn't feel too great. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers during your 2ww.
