The Reality of the Positive Home Pregnancy Test..

Okay so after a few months preparation and pennies saved we went through with it. Our first ever Assisted Reproductive Tech. We chose the ever preverbial IUI (Intrauterine Insemination).. otherwise known as.. the swimmer needle. After two weeks of constant stick and suck proceedures(i) I finally got the goahead to give the trigger... I had grown a big enough follicle that warranted triggering Ovulation...In our house this is considered the BIG O. I was then suddenly thrust into the 2ww, with nothing to do but seriously obsess.. I mean this DOES work for everyone else it seems... Yes it worked for us too.. We finally got our positive hpt.... only to lose it a few days later. It was so heartwrenching and sad. Like your brother had stolen the toy you had worked all summer slaving away at your lemonade stand to buy and ripped her head and limbs off. After such dissapointment .....We had to take some time off. (i) [ where one drags ass outta bed at 6am, to beat other women also attending the stick and suck session to the clinic so that one can sign their name in first as to not end up staying until 5pm waiting on an ultra sound... most of these women actually manage to pull off a shower AND wear make-up]
