So I tested yesterday morning at 11 dp iui. It was negative so im thinking my monday beta is not going to be different. I knew I should of waited but I just couldnt take it anymore. That just started my whole day off wrong. Once I got to work the smallest things made me tear up. By the time I got home my poor hubby couldn't say anything to me without getting snapped at. I went to bed early (I also had to be tonwork at 3 am yuck) today doesn't look like its going to be much better. Not even two hours in and 2 co workers asked me how my process was going. I started to read through all the ivf paperwork yesterday and its sooo overwhelming. Iui was pretty cut and dry. I think im in the spot where I just feel so overwhelmed I dont know what to do next.

On a TTC break for 3-6 months while DH gets treatment with a Urologist
Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013
DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help
Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube
April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if
it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF
June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!
June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue
is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
