D1PIUI

Day one past IUI:

Last night I was in a bit of pain all night.  I felt super tender and quite inflamed.  It didn't stop us from doing a little BD though, just in case.  ;)  I did wake up in the middle of the night with sharp pain in my right side.  I'm guessing that was my egg releasing.  Let's hope all the strong little swimmers found their way!  I see it as a hopeful sign since this is what our first IUI was like.  Last round, for some reason, I'm not convinced that I ovulated.  I didn't feel much of anything after the IUI.  This time, there is definitely some action going on there.

Today I have felt pretty good.  I'm not nearly as tired/emotional/out of it as I was last week.  That feels great!  I'm starting to get a little bit anxious because my job is starting to wind down and I don't know what I'm going to be doing come October (I was on a maternity leave contract).  Eeek!  That is always a scary place to be in.  I have a few options, but  honestly I don't know what I want right now.  When I think about what I want, it's to NOT be working and be at home with a baby.  Picking the next best thing is not as fun.  At least I have time, and I have options, so there is not a lot of pressure.

I don't have much planned for the next 2 weeks.  Our testing day is Sept. 11th.  This weekend is the long weekend, but it will be pretty low key.  Next weekend we are doing a camping trip with our young adults, which will be a great distraction as we get to the last few days of the 2ww.  Other than that, not much going on as DH and I try to save, save, save on money (payoff debt, and start an adoption fund for down the road).  It's really not as fun saving rather than spending.  We'll have to come up with some more cheap ways to have fun over the next few months.
