I am set to due my beta testing Monday on this 2nd IUI. It was done on May 4th, and I have decided NOT to take any HPT prior to the testing. With last months chemical pregnancy positive one day and negative the next, it was just too much of a roller coaster. This month, I think my husband and I are not sure what to expect. I have felt no different other than feeling short tempered and unable to really sleep the last few nights. I'm also feeling very unmotivated and without direction at times. That is so unlike me. Hoping to get out of this "funk" today. I know OUR TIME will come, but somehow, I don't think this is our month. No physcial signs telling me that, but just a gut feeling. Hoping I am wrong. Trying SO HARD to stay positive. Just not feeling it today.
I also think running into countless magazine covers Princess Kate and Kim Kardashian have not been helpful, as well as many newborn babies. Coworkers of my husband and I are all due for their babies this week too. Just a tough time.
Thanks for reading....Just needed to vent I guess. ![]()
