One in a Million Uterus

A mother of two adopted boys, I have a unicornuate uterus and I am on a journey to see if it can carry a child.

Name:

I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus in January 2006. DH and I decided to follow our hearts to the adoption of our two sons. Now our hearts are guiding us towards fertility treatments.

Cycle 1, 12 dpIUI

And the prognosis is.... drum roll please... still a mystery. I therefore have willingly entered into the phase of over-analysis. No AF has arrived as of yet. Which has led me to one of the following conclusions:

a) Despite my fit of rage at my RE, maybe they really were right and maybe I didn't ovulate early after all. (I despise being wrong so this certainly cannot be it.) I may or may not be pregnant.
b) I was right and did ovulate two days before my IUI like I suspected but the progesterone (and possibly all the other drugs I have been on this month) are screwing with me and making AF late.
c) I was right and did ovulate two days before my IUI like I suspected and somehow, despite not having sex anywhere near when I ovulated, I am still pregnant.

My temp dropped yesterday morning again, this time below the coverline. I waited for AF and there was not a sign. I figured for sure AF would show up this evening at the latest. My temp this morning went back up, way above the coverline. WTF? That's never happened before. I felt so positive AF was going to show up yesterday after that nosedive of a temp drop that I dyed my hair. (I know some people dye their hair all through pregnancy and have no fears, but I figure if I do end up pregnant, I am going to be crazy about every little thing I should and shouldn't do since the road to get there has been so long for me and staying pregnant might be rather challenging for me.) Normally I feel very mildly crampy and a little bloated before AF shows up and then the cramps and bloat set in full force after the arrival. Around Tuesday and Wednesday I felt a little crampy and bloated and figured that would be keep up until AF showed up. Then it all went away. I feel nothing. I am sitting here thinking about my uterus and waiting to feel the slightest twinge of a cramp. Nope. Nothing. Most of the day today I have had a headache. I always get this nagging headache that won't go away the day AF shows up. Still have that headache. Still don't have AF. Ever since I started the progesterone, I have felt a little nauseous. That went away the past 2-3 days. It is back again today. Finally, I have had this totally odd, completely annoying thing going on with my va-jay-jay. I feel like there is something stuck in there all the time, like an air bubble or something. It has been going on or the past 24 hours. Not really sure I can even explain it but it sucks, I hate it, and I want it to go away.

So, that's where I am. Maybe AF will show up over night. Maybe not.
