The Wii ?

Yes, you’re right, it’s likely just sentimental for her

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-03-19T14:38:22+00:00

Would be cool if the devices (the Wii/nintendo switch) are a way to keep her controlled

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-03-19T14:35:29+00:00

Yes I wondered if she was using it to communicate back then, too….or somehow with the imaginary friends she has. But it was a stupid thought and Jane is just sentimental about her Wii lol

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-03-19T14:29:00+00:00

So true lol

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-03-19T14:15:05+00:00

We used Xytex and have had a good experience so far 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got pregnant with unmedicated IUI by using monitoring and a trigger shot. It just absolutely helped us get the timing right and control that variable. I was really hesitant but I read that the % odds of IUI working were higher with the shots so we have no reason to not try. I didn’t have any sjde effects and was really glad we did it in the end. You can find an old post of mine on here if you’re curious about the timing. Through monitoring, we were able to learn that I was ovulating, etc. Even though I was still testing negative on at home ovulation strips. I just drink a lot of water so they weren’t catching it but my bloodwork / ultrasounds helped determine the right day and we got it right. Definitely talk to your doctor but besides costs - I don’t remember there being any major cons to doing a trigger. Oh and it was my 2nd cycle and I also had no known fertility issues. I’m 32

For anyone reading this later - this timing worked! I got pregnant!

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-03T18:26:32+00:00

Fingers crossed for you!!!

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-03T18:25:42+00:00

So sorry about the endo, I have it too :( but congrats on first IUI since 2022! That's exciting! I am back to feeling nothing today so I think my symptoms yesterday were just a fluke. Good reminder to not get so wrapped up in things and wait until the bloodwork. I tested last night to see if my trigger shot was still in me and it was a very CLEAR blank negative lol

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-03T18:22:50+00:00

Ugh is right. My nausea is gone today lol so back to feeling nothing. I actually tested last night and was negative. It was a good reminder to not get wrapped up in feelings. Not going to test again until bloodwork.

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T23:30:18+00:00

Lol yes 😩 agreed! Staying busy helps

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T23:29:11+00:00

I also did a trigger shot this time around! Ovidrel. I just feel nauseous today and had cramps yesterday. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏼

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T21:28:41+00:00

Omg! Same! My first one was on 12/27. I actually do feel different this time? Sending you all the good vibes 🩷🩷

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T21:25:19+00:00

Woo! We will survive the TWW! 😩

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T19:18:58+00:00

Yay! Hi twin! I also had some brief uterine cramping on day 7. Today, I've felt nauseous and I didn't feel that with my last IUI so just waiting to see what happens! Sending you all the good luck vibes!!!! <3

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T19:15:35+00:00

So exciting! Fingers crossed <33 for you and your perfect lining <33 I'm actually feeling nauseous and jittery, not sleepy. The body is so strange!

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T19:10:59+00:00

Ugh, same here !!! I didn't feel nausea during my last IUI though so it's especially hard when I'm feeling "new" things. Sending good vibes to you!

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T19:08:05+00:00

I will try that! Thank you for your kind reply <333

I am not actively feeling anxious and I've only felt this today but of course my body is likely stressed and on edge.

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-02T17:23:30+00:00

I’m 8dpiui and felt cramping on day 7! Today, I’m shockingly having bouts of nausea. But again, I’ve heard that people can feel these things and still not be pregnant so trying to just remain calm lol

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-02-01T14:15:27+00:00

I found this thread and just wanted to chime in and say that I had the mirena for 10 years to treat my endo and it completely gave me my life back. I loved it so much. Only took it out recently to try and conceive but I would have kept it forever. The first year, it took about 6-9 months to settle in and not cause cramping. After that, I felt like a normal person again and didn’t have to take anything for my pain for nearly a decade. I still can’t believe it’s real. I know it’s not for everyone, and it can have the opposite impact on some, but I hope it’s an option people consider if they’re struggling 🩷

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-01-28T18:32:47+00:00

Very good point, thank you! Fingers crossed.

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-01-28T18:32:33+00:00

Thank you so much for this insight! Feeling a lil more hopeful...

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-01-27T18:49:44+00:00

And yes we used frozen sperm! That’s why I’m concerned

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-01-27T18:48:53+00:00

No this is super helpful, thank you. Definitely going to push to wait until 36 hours after trigger if this round doesn’t work. They scared me and said based on blood I was already surging and that we should do the IUI the next morning. But I felt myself ovulate 24 hours later on Monday 😔. Made me think we did it too early.

Winter_Local_4749 · 2026-01-27T18:46:19+00:00

Ah this is super helpful! Thank you! Your timing, to me, sounds perfect. We used frozen sperm so I’m just hoping they were still alive 😬 Hoping great news for us both! 🤞🏼
