Well, turns out IUI#2 is a bust. Had my beta today and it was less than 1. IUI #1in October was 4. I am quickly going through the stages of grief in my office and cannot wait to leave to cry in my car. I am just so mad at myself for thinking this could be our month. I figured it was negative, because well it always it, but it stings to hear those words from the nurse. It was also great to hear a story about another couple who got pregnant in the year of the horse, so maybe 2014 is our year...
