BFN

I had my pregnancy test done at my RE's office yesterday, this was IUI cycle #2, and it came back negative.  So on to round 3 as soon as AF arrives. I am thinking Monday could be day 1 of the next cycle.   My nurse told me that they want us to try 3-4 cycles before meeting with the DR (RE) to determine next steps.  My frustration is that one of my sisters is getting married in the Canary Islands March 29, 2015 and my nurse said if I get pregnant during this next cycle I could travel, but if this next cycle doesn't work I will have to skip a cycle because they of course would need me here to monitor.  Ugh .... you know I didn't cry over the negative result, I cried because I may have to skip a cycle if #3 doesn't work, and I am getting tired/frustrated with all of this waiting!!!!!

      Now that I have had a day to think about all of this, the waiting could be a good thing because in order for me to do IVF i need to lose 2 bmi points.  I lost 10 lbs before the holidays and now maybe these next few months will give me a chance to lose enough weight for IVF to happen if IUI cycle # 3 or 4 doesn't work.  If the dr wants to start IVF in april, and I haven't lost enough weight, I will be devastated that I have to wait again.  I will be 39 in June and I really, really wanted to be pregnant before then. (Another thing I need to do is let go of the age thing. I keep thinking I am getting older, and older and I will be in my 60s when my child is in their 20s.  To me that is old, but I need to keep telling myself there a lot of women having babies at 40 these days.  I think once I let the age thing go, I will be able to relax.)  My Dr/RE promised me he would have me pregnant before I turned 40, so I guess I need to relax, be patient, and wait. It will happen!!!!!!

   Sorry for the ranting, I just needed to get all of that off my chest.  Now back to my positive thinking!!!!!

  On the brighter side my DH has been doing a great job to help me not get upset about our BFN. He took me out to dinner last night, I didn't want to go but he forced me to get out of the house which I have to say was a good thing.  He is being so positive even though he is disappointed as well.  He has plans for us all weekend to help take our mind off of things and to give us a little break.  

   I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and is able to get some rest and relaxation!!!!!
