And that leads us to where we are now! The wonderful 2 ww (week wait)!
Blood tests.... I have confided in a good friend, who happens to have gone through infertility herself and happens to be a nurse practitioner! We had our annual blood screening yesterday at work. I text her the night before asking if there would be anything in my results that could maybe point to pregnancy. She said nope. Dang. She went on to ask me if my RE would perform blood tests. I told her they didn't do that, instead I just wait two weeks from IUI and test. After talking back and forth about how the blood tests work, she gave me the option to come in for testing on days 7 and 9 (counting from the date of the IUI). Today is day 7! So I thought why not, if the results are a zero today (meaning more than likely not pregnant) I would know about a week sooner. Which will be heart breaking like any other negative, but at least I can stop wondering. So I go today after work and again on Sunday. I am not sure if I will know anything today or over the weekend, doubtful. But hopefully I will know something Monday!
