IUI Time!
Hello ladies,
I'm starting my first IUI treatment this week! I'm nervous about it, mainly because I feel like I need to talk about it, but I can't without tearing up a little. My husband and I have been ttc for over two years now, and emotionally we've been fine. We always just say it wasn't the right time, and we'll just try again next month.
I have very bad cramps for one day of my period. It's like a sweating, heavy bleeding, trapped in the bathroom diarrhea, thank god for Netflix and heat pads, kinda day. And then it's over like a tornado, BOOM, wait what just happened? Have I been reborn? I take a shower and skip through the next 28 days of life.
I am insanely allergic to ibuprofen...lips swell as if they were stung by a bee...so I have a full on panic attack and break out in hives. I started acupuncture, and it has been life changing!! It's like I'm on this medical journey with my acupuncturist and she guides me through my pains and stress, and I take a little nap on the bed with some needles. It has regulated my cycle, and moderated the cramps. But I still have no gotten pregnant.
So now I'm here about to start IUI for my first time! I feel excited to have a step by step plan of action. But I am hesitant because it could just be another dead end.
