Andy that's sounding soooo great!!! I'm optimistic with you, should I open the betting channel for money on you tomorrow?? :laugh:

H-buzz - I'm holding all my toes and thumbs for you!

Tanz - I'm sooo sorry about AF! But glad your so positive!

Hayley and Tanz - I'm doing well thanks, just very very tired. I remembered I was like that last month as well, I believe it's the progesterone supplements.

Ika - that's awesome, both of us did IUI and it's both our birthdays soon, your on 31 July I'm on 3 August. I'm testing 4 August :laugh:

Don't really know how to explain it. The uterine cramps feel like AF cramps sort off, like the uterus is kinda contracting?? If that makes sense? And I can feel it's the entire area where I guess my uterus is.

And the ovarian cramps are like short stabs of pain, but only on my right side.

OK girls, so I've done some research and asked for Julz's input as well. Doc will definately not be able to see anything on an internal scan tomorrow and it might still be too soon for blood tests even. So, if he doesn't offer, I'm not going to ask for either.

What I will do though... MAYBE... Test on the 29th instead of the 30th as FF actually said I could test on Thursday. So we'll see. So far so good. Boobs still sore. Uterine and ovarian cramps still coming and going. Oh and I've got a couple of zittie spots on my face since yesterday. Aaaaaaaaannnnnndddd.... STILL NO SPOTTING!!!!! :woohoo:

So I'm cautiously optimistic. I read that the uterine cramps could be due to the stretching of the uterus or implantation (but implantation couldn't possibly last this long) and the ovarian cramps can be due to hormone increases. But, all of this could also be due to the stress I'm having at work at the moment.

well it seems the same as SA? they ask for your last menstruation and then work out EDD from there. that works fine if you have a normal cycle, but I only ovulated on CD30 or so, so it puts me 4 weeks out!

Thanks all! Sorry I came home and jumped into bed and slept. Woke up and now my voice have complete dissapeared. Think I might be getting the flu! GRRRRRR!!!!!!
I am very positive about everything this morning! So let hope for the best! Starting on a lot of progesteron on saterday. The vagina capsil and at night a pill. So let's hope this works. MY FS said that I should always remeber that with each cycle you only have a 30% chance, so I should not get toooo escited yet.

I got my Ovidrel injection last night and the IUI today, so what do you think is the chance that I will get a positive on the 31 July? It is my birthday and I would love to get it so soon?
Doc sending me on the 3 August for a Blood test.

Meags, I know the French measure the dates different than us. My french friend got pregnant in SA and could never uderstand our week counts.So maybe you have a huge misunderstanding going on?
