The 2ww will coming to an end soon enough. I will admit that I have already peed on a stick, which was negative, but I know it's still too early to tell. Overall, I do not feel pregnant, although I am aware that 1. implantation may have no occurred yet and 2. it is very possible, likely even, to not have symptoms in the 2ww even if one is pregnant. So, there is still time. I have been having really crazy, vivid dreams since I did the insemination. This morning, it was to the point that I didn't even sleep in very late because I was tired of dreaming. It's not like they're nightmares or anything, it's just that the dreams are so vivid and weird that it's kind of exhausting. I haven't had this many dreams in awhile. I also have been a bit irritable, but 1. I am prone to irritability 2. I'm noticing that the 2nd half of my cycle tends to be laden with irritability (damn that progesterone) 3. It has been wicked hot and 4. I have been somewhat stressed related to work. So, the irritability is likely not a pregnancy symptom.
Of course, I am having to think about the next step if this cycle didn't work. I spent a long time doing the math last night. I know that I am definitely not doing another at-home cycle. The chances of it working are just less, even though I know that I have a reasonable chance at my age. The bigger reason though is that if I do have any kind of fertility problem, it will not be investigated by my RE until after a number of failed IUIs. So, I feel like I could end up wasting time and money by doing home inseminations with no information about my fertility. I did go in for my day 21 progesterone test yesterday, so I will hopefully have those results by the end of this week, which will at least give me a clue as to whether I'm really ovulating.
So, just a few more days to go!
