IUI #1 was a NEGATIVE

As the title clearly states...IUI #1 came back negative :(

I had been cramping like crazy ever since the IUI was done in December so I figured that it was probably my uterus letting me know that someone was getting cozy in there...NOT. I had refused to buy HPT because I didn't want to be disappointed so I waited patiently until Sunday night. We had just gotten back from spending some time with our friends when I decided to go potty. I'd been looking at the paper for the last couple of days trying to make sure that nothing "pink" was around but this time around there was some light "pink". I freaked out and started crying my eyes out...I knew then that I was not preggo. Carlos saw me and consoled me while trying to let me know that maybe it was something else. He researched and told me that it could be implantation bleeding since it was very small. I agreed with him and went to bed.

When I woke up Monday morning and went to the bathroom I was dreading looking at the paper...it was RED and alot :(   I quickly called my mom to let her know and I started crying again. I got ready and went to the lab to have the Beta done just in case I was preggo. I returned home and laid in bed all day waiting for the results. My nurse called around 2pm to let me know what I already knew...you're NOT PREGNANT!!! Since AF had arrived she scheduled me to see Dr Burger the following day.

And here we are...CD 2 of IUI#2. Dr Burger was sad that we had not achieved a pregnancy but she was happy that I was able to respond to the medication and produce 1 egg. She did the baseline u/s and told me that we were good to go for another IUI. She decided to increase my medication for the next three days in hope of me responding a little better. I have a follow-up on Saturday so I have to be up at the crack of dawn to get my blood work done before my appt.

I've learned a lot about myself and about my hubby these past few weeks...I love him soooo much and I don't know what I would do without him by my side through these difficult times.

God knows our hearts desire and in HIS time it will come true...Here's to HOPE that one day it will happen :)
