Hello
Have read loads of the Talk but this is my first post. There are some very kind, supportive and helpful ladies out there!
So...I'm hoping for some of that magic.
Have just done my pregnancy test after first IUI and am not pregnant. Kind of knew that but still feeling very low. Hard not to feel bitter about all those friends and colleagues pushing out the babies when you are injecting yourself or lying there wiith a nurse sticking things up you yet again.
I endometriosis and have had 2 operations recently - second one for polyp that apparently wasn't noticed in the first set of internal investigations. All great fun.
Anyway, IUI was exceedingly painful (nurse described it as discomfort. I think not.)I have a 'tilted' uterus, apparently. I find out lovely new things all the time these days...
2 days later I started getting bad cramps and bleeding. Nurse told me it was due to bleeding at cervix and nothing to worry about. Felt ill and lightheaded for 4 days (still bleeding lightly for that time).Again was told this was normal after difficult IUI.
Has anyone else had that? Carrying on a tiny bit this week after a 7 day gap.
Not telling anybody (apart from husband!) is v isolating and I would be glad of any support. Feeling guilty all the time that I am doing something wrong. Can't just give up work and lie in bed though...
Thanks!
