I'm feeling fine. No more cramps but I'm still on leave. Took it easy after the IUI on Friday. Did you proceed with your IUI yet?

I'm 36 yo...never been pregnant but hoping and praying this year, God will give us a baby of our own.

On June 20th, I had IUI for the very first time. On July 7th, AF came in. It was disheartening. I really cried and cried. All tests showed DH and I have no reproductive problems so it's really sad why getting pregnant is really hard. We add to the stats of unexplained infertility. If there's any consolation, it's my DH who assured me we'll try again...

This is not our first time trying to conceive. Had fertility work up since 2004 but due to stress and financial constraints, we never really pushed through (except for HSG, blood tests, SA etc). This year though, DH and I are into it and tried IUI the first time. Although it failed, we're hoping we can make it next time.

And that next time is today...IUI for the second time. With 4 matured follicles, I hope one of those eggs will be fertilized soon.

Let's pray for all of us TTC-ers. Baby dust to us and sticky glue for all expectant mothers!
