Thanks for all the well wishes girls.

Have been a bit up and down about it all over the last few days. It could be the clomid though... LOL

I have really mixed feelings about it all. On one had I am really happy to be taking the next AC step, and can't wait just to get started. But on the other hand I am a bit anxious about it all. Sounds silly, but it feels a bit like every step forward we take leaves less options for the future. Like if we do IUI and it doesn't work, we only have IVF left, and if it doesn't work... Crying Crying Crying

I know I am getting too far ahead of myself, and that I need to stay positive. I am on a health mission this month so that gives me a good goal to work towards and a good distraction.

Nattie it really does suck doesn't it? *sigh* I am a terrible crash dieter usually too Blushing but I have decided to do it the healthiest possible way this time so my body isn't nutritionally depleted when I fall pg. I am cutting my portions and eating dinner off a smaller plate, making sure all meals are a low calorie but nutritional option, only having fruit between meals, coffees down to 1 max per day and no alcohol. I am also going to the gym at least 3 times per week. Now if I can stick to all that I'll be doing well!! BigGrin

Sending you some GBH Amelia Wub

Sounds like your doing well with your eating and exercise!

I've never been through AC so can't begin to understand what you are going through. 3 months TTC felt like a lifetime Blushing But don't give up yet hun!! Everything you do or try is bringing you closer to your BFP. Wub

Oh hun you're not alone *GBH* and don't blame the clomid because I'm like that too and I don't have that excuse!

I think that's why I'm so scared of AC too because not only do I hate the feeling of failure but also if they say there is no hope..I honestly don't know I'd do with myself Crying

You're right- that's too far ahead and it's best not to dwell to long on it.

A health kick sounds like a great purpose ThumpUp and I really want to do it too but I just don't know where to start ConfusedLaugh oh well good luck with it and I hope you get the positve results you're after ThumpUp

Hi mealsy,

sorry to hear you're still here and clomid hasn't helped.

Honestly IUI's are really no big deal at all. I was so worried at first too, but they are a breeze. Get DH to inject you and before you know it you getting the sperm injected and your done. Honestly once its all over you'll wonder why you worried.

In saying that my DH and I have moved from IUI to IVF this month. And of course I find my self freaking out once more about something new :)

Good luck!

Thanks girls - you are all so lovely Wub

Nattie - yep we can keep each other in line with our respective health kicks! ThumpUp

Rae - Thanks for the reassurance - nice to hear from someone who has been there done that. I'm actually not too worried about the needles themselves, more the side effects (I am already have semi-permanent PMT from clomid - well I blame the clomid anyway Laugh ). Honestly I am at the point where I would happily stick needles into my own eyeballs if I thought it would help. Just joking of course... or am I...? Huh BigGrin Best of luck with the IVF - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it will be 1st time lucky for you Smile

haha eyeballs! yeah true.

When I did my first IUI I was so worried about overstimulating and all the side effects that I did it without injections. I regret that now!! I cant remember getting any side effects. I was taking 50imu of Puregon and when discussing my concerns with the nurse, she told me that it was a sniff compared to what some girls get when doing IVF and I shouldn't get any side effects. That was true in the end. I did get a little sore and bruised in my belly if my hubby wasn't paying attention when jabbing me.
