Trouble TTC
Broke down at Beta Testing
So went in for my blood draw today for my Beta. The nurse asked me if I had any symptoms so I answered no and than immediately began to have break down. I sat there and cried with her for a good 20 minutes before pulling myself back together and back to work I went. I think its just me being so tired. DH and I got in huge fight last night and I didnt sleep well at all 
OUr fight was sole based upon a stupid enegry drink. When we first went to RE and found that DH numbers were low the RE said he should stop drinking energy drinks as they can lower his counts. So when I saw the energy drink I lost it. I started crying and just felt so hurt. He said it was his only one since we started this journey but the damage was done I just felt hurt. I think my progestrone emotional self took over and I told him I felt like he didnt want this infertility stuff to work out as much as I do! I know it was so wrong to say but it was to late and the damage was done. We went to bed in seperate beds and didnt speak this morning before work so I think this is all why I broke down at my Beta test! AHHHHHH stupid IF it really getting the best of me these days!!!
