The first couple of days after the IUI were okay. Well, the cramping wasn't great but the waiting wasn't bad. In fact, I was congratulating myself on being unusally patient in this process. Just when I'm congratulating myself is usually when things start to go bad. For example, two months ago I was in a car accident on a snow day. I was driving somewhere for work and congratulating myself on how well I was doing in the snow and ice. Next thing you know, I'm skidding across lanes of traffic, totaling my car and tearing my knee. But that is another story. . . .
Though true to form, just as I'm congratulating myself here on the patience thing, the axe falls. I'm here at home contemplating a pregnancy test. Oh, why would I do this. It's not going to show me anything. Even if it's positive, it could be a false positive from the HCG. Even if it's negative, it could be a false negative because it is too early. So basically it would be one big waste of a pregnancy test and still I want to take one. This is my life . . . impatient in almost everything. I just want to get things done and figure things out and know how things are going to go.
But, I'll be a good girl and wait . . . at least for a while. Happy two week wait for my readers who are in the same boat as me. At least we are all in it together.
I completely understand what you're going through Ashley!! I was a test-a-holic with my first IUI. I applaud you for holding out.
