Well, I'm Obviously Going To Go Insane With Impatience

I am 8 days post trigger shot. I've been testing the last 3 days and it is nearly out of my system. The line is so faint, it hardly exists. The only symptom I experienced from the trigger was fatigue, coma inducing fatigue. (I lied, there was cramping). Yesterday, I started experiencing breast tenderness, which has increased today. I've also started experiencing obvious nipple tenderness today. I feel like I am currently living in the land of ambiguity. I'm probably imaging any symptoms I have, but regardless, any symptom could qualify as either one, for pregnancy or an upcoming period. My cycle has always been so irregular and I've never consistently experienced a frequency or duration of symptoms from period to period. My point of reference is incredibly shoddy because of this. It is driving me insane living in this state of limbo.
I have been an infertile myrtle for 10 years. My first husband and I started off thinking if it happens, it happens, but really hoping it would it happen. We realized there was a problem after a time, but weren't in the financial place to address anything. We didn't have any of our ducks in a row, so treatment was put off. When we were 29, we were ready to take the next step. He passed away suddenly and I had no reason to have my issues addressed. 5 years later, I'm finally doing what needs to be done, but only to a point. Our insurance won't cover infertility so our means our limited. I've completed 3 rounds of clomid with only this last one producing a follicle. I can't afford procedures like IUIs and IVFs, so if meds aren't going to get me to ovulate in hopes of pregnancy, I'm out of luck. I'm trying not to stress myself out thinking of that. I'm relatively horrible at this. It's intimidating to read the stories of some of you have had procedure after procedure without success. My heart aches for you ladies and it scares me that my story could be so similar.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with all of this. I'm just getting a little anxious in my head waiting for one outcome or the other. It's funny how I have gone 10 years wishing for a baby (while everyone else I seem to know has had at least 7) and it's the next 4 days until I can test that are sending me over the edge.

On a side note: If you don't respond well to clomid, letrozol is usually an option. It generally has less side effects and better results for women who have not gotten great results with clomid. Also- inexpensive! But both of these meds can thicken your cervical fluid, so if you're working naturally you may want to pair it with preseed or an antihistamine (I've heard these help but never taken/so check with a Dr first!).
And some insurances which won't cover the IUI, if you ask they will cover the monitoring and meds. Then the IUI itself ranges between $300-600 depending. GL to you!!!!
