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, 13 dpIUI

Insanity has become my friend. I woke up around 1:30 last night feeling crampy. I thought, Okay this is it. I figured the cramps were starting and AF would follow soon. I got up to pee and did the official inspecting the toilet paper for any sort of trace of AF. I didn't want to turn on the light so I checked in our nightlight which really wasn't all that effective. Didn't see anything. Alarm went off this morning and I took my temp. I took it again because the first one didn't make sense. It was the same. Now my chart looks like this:

I wondered most of the morning if I was feeling cramps and/or bloated or if I was just making it up. By late morning I was definitely feeling cramps and not making it up. I peed and inspected the TP. Nothing. I drank a huge glass of lemonade so I would have to pee again soon and I could pretend that I wasn't just going to pee to look at the TP but I was going to pee because I really had to. I ended up emailing a friend and told her that I was freaking out. She emailed me back and told me to relax. Jerk. (Okay, she said way more than that and it was really helpful to not be freaking out on my own.) Around 11:30 this morning I peed and the TP looked ever so slightly pink. I was oddly glad so I could quit freaking out. I thought about emailing DH to tell him that I would probably have to go in for my day 3 testing Thursday but figured I better wait a little bit to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I peed again. Still looked ever so slightly pink, but not like the normal pink that I usually see when AF is starting. I held off and drank more lemonade. Next trip to pee, not a hint of pink. Several more pees later, and still no more pink. Around 3:00 I peed and there was something there that looked ever so slightly brownish. Then the rest of the day, nothing but normal colored TP and no official signs of AF.

I'm feeling more crampy now, like really any second AF should start. DH and I are planning on doing the wild thing tonight and that has been known to get things flowing so who knows. I have no headache today, which I always have a headache when AF is ready to start. I usually get a couple pimples right before AF shows up and I don't have a single one. I felt really nauseous for a bit this evening and had to delay cooking dinner because I thought dealing with meatballs was going to make me throw up. So, that's where I am. Just insane.

Oh, and as for testing, I refuse to do it. I've never been a testing freak mostly because the idea of seeing a big fat your not pregnant sign is not at all appealing. I would rather see AF. Every time in the past I have tested was because I was sure I was pregnant. Every time I have tested, later that day AF showed up. There were also lots of times when I thought that the next day I was going to test. I would wake up the next day and there would be AF. So, I am anti-testing. I am going to wait and drive myself nuts. That's just how I prefer it.
