Stomach Pains, Last day of School, Overly Optimistic Hubby!

Lots happening here... today is the last day of school for teachers so wrapping the year up. I'm excited to sleep in and get a break from 14 year olds, although slightly dreading the extra time on my hands over the next couple of weeks particularly. I have 4 shifts next week at GAP so that should keep me out of too much obsessive Googling.

Speaking of obsessive googling, I'm having abdominal discomfort. It's hard to describe- kind of like mild period pains except more just discomfort- especially when I walk. And when I push on my tummy it hurts. I feel really swollen and yuck. I hurt a bit after my first IUI last time but by the end of the day after my second one, i was totally fine. Today is 2 days after my second IUI and it is worse today than yesterday. I don't want to be one of those panicky losers who calls the dr all the time (I went in at 7dpiui last time for a different sort of stomach pain) so I think I'll just grin and bear it. It's too early for it to be a good or bad sign. And besides, given I wasn't pregnant last month, anything feeling different to last month can only be a good sign.

In other news, Hubby is convinced I'm pregnant- with multiples! Haha! Last time I was super optimistic and he kept saying 'it's only 30% chance, don't get your hopes up too high' and this time, I'm very resigned to it not working and having to do IVF. And suddenly Al is mr optimistic this time- go figure! It's cute because he's taking super good care of me so I think I'll just milk it for all its worth.

  1. It's common to feel icky follwing IUI...blame it on the medication. You are not a 'panicky loser' if you have questions about your procedure and the aftermath. I sort of understand because when I first started my treamtments, I had lots of questions and felt hestitant to ask. In fact, right now I have a referral to a different clinic if this 3rd IUI doesn't work. I need a place where it is patient centered and where I don't feel like asking questions or calling with concerns is burdensome. We sound very similar in our thoughts about IUI and its success. thank goodness my hubby is more optimistic than I - I feel like I am losing hope. We need our partners to be supportive as we go through this up and down journey.
