I had to order more meds, already paid $1,300 and now $650 more and that only lasts me a day and a half!!!! I don't know what I will do if I need more!!! Tomorrow will be the day of bloom or gloom! That is hilarious what your husband said...but true too! How are you feeling? It is so hard to tell symptoms because the prostoserone tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant so how can you really tell!!!! So frusturating! I will let you know how tomorrow goes and keeped me updated on you!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm really sorry things are getting a slow start this cycle. I know how you must be feeling. All this time we thought it was DH with the issues, come to find out even though my workup came out fine, I still need help growing follicles and ovulating, so you do certainly have someone who can relate, and that's the best medicine. Fertility meds are insane! My hubby always thinks someone is out to get him and that doctors (especially RE's) pry on couples. That may be true, but we have to leave it up to the big man upstairs and the doctors. I hate not being in control of my own body. I will be praying for you. Yes, please do keep me posted.

We are in a heat wave this weekend. Not any storms to speak of like you mentioned, but today it's 95 degrees and feeling like July-August. I went to get some hanging baskets to take my mind of the 2WW today. I'm still not having any pregnancy symptoms to speak of, every time I feel a twinch or tiredness, I just chalk it up to the progesterone playing tricks. Today is 8 days past IUI, I'm tempted to test on Wednesday which will be the day after the 10-day mark, but really not decided. My nurse told me anything before 14 days is not recommended. I'm afraid of a false positive or worse yet, a BFN. I don't feel pregnant. This discomfort I'm feeling could just be my follicles shrinking down to size, who knows.

Take care and best of luck tomorrow
